Bro!
I was at last year's convention, and I was there when the resolution passed!
Why don't you guys in the ACB get your act together, and join us in the fight for fair wages, and we'll listen to you, but until then, quit shoving the ACB junk down our throats!
Thanks, Joshua

correction, the ACB, not NFB.  The NFB have taken a position contrary to
that of other advocacy groups on the need for audio description for
television programming. Many blind people enjoy audio description during
passages without dialogue in films and television programs. However, in
many of these the plot can be followed from the dialogue and sound
effects. Therefore the NFB has urged that audio description for
entertainment programming be voluntary, not mandatory. However, the NFB
believes that the Federal Communications Commission should require
printed information that scrolls across television screens, such as
emergency news and weather information and print information in
advertising, to be transmitted audibly also in digitized speech. the ACB
has done all the work, not NFB.
