[nabs-l] endorsing Vee Gaspa for VP

[Nesma Aly]

Dear all, 
I want to first start by saying welcome to the Federation Garrett. 
Second, I am so very proud of Vee. As you all may know, the weekend of June
second, students gathered at the NFB headquarters for a seminar. Vee did a
wonderful job representing NJABS as well as organizing this wonderful
gathering. She has a bright spirit as well as a very understanding
personality. I have only known Vee for one weekend but can't wait to see
what wonderful things she will continue to do. Please consider voting for
VEE Gaspa! 
Thanks, 
Nesma

Hello all,

To most of you I'm a new face among the crowd. to those who attended the
Northeastern Student Seminar last month I'm glad to have met all of you. To
my knowledge there has been some behind the scenes controversy in regard to
the upcoming election. In the past few months I've been an outsider, but
consider this email a statement of my opinion on the matter.

Over many years I've witnessed Vee's transformation from a naive girl into
an independent and fearless leader. In the last year she's handled an
immense amount of responsibility, to the point where I find it staggering
she can do it all at once. There have been many late night phone calls about
how stressed and overwhelmed she is. In spite of that she continues to
succeed on a remarkable level, beyond what i ever could. Between NABS,
NJABS, and attending school full time she has been able to balance her
studies, duties to the NFB, and an active social life.

She has dedicated herself to the Federation, and NABS in particular.
What impresses me even more is her capability to listen to all opinions, and
to be attentive to those who need her. This email is not intended to tell
you who to vote for, but to encourage you to consider where you cast your
vote carefully. I'm supporting Vee because I see her as the best person for
the job. Take this in mind when others pressure you to think otherwise.

Thank you for your time. I look forward to working and collaborating with
all of you  in the future.

Regards,
Garrett Kearns
Member of the Virginia Association of Blind Students
