[nagdu] Guide Dog Handler Bill of Rights

[Peter Donahue]

Hello  Cindy and everyone,

    People have tried addressing these issues with the schools pretty much 
to no avail. If things aren't going to change perhaps we need to seek a 
legislative remedy in the states if not in Congress. If national legislation 
is adopted to create such a statute as a Guide Dog Handler's Bill of Rights 
it becomes the law of the land. Everyone would be bound by this act if it is 
a Federal Law.

Just sayin', I don't think Congress is where you go with this issue. I think 
you go somewhere else with it. I said nothing about not taking action, but 
first you have to have a united front among as many guide dog users before 
you take it. Obviously there will never be total agreement, but you have to 
make sure that the majority is on the same page. To say I don't think this 
is a congressional issue is not to say we shouldn't do anything about it.
