>> Hi Marilyn.

>> You're right about this.  I went to a workshop for an 
organization that
>> shall remain nameless and so much time was spent talking 
negatively about
>> the other organization.  To me, it was a real turn off.  With 
only having
>> been blind for going on four years now, I think I'm still in 
that phase of
>> just wanting to learn as much as possible to continue making 
life as great
>> as possible while being blind.  I'm still learning techniques on 
some
>> things
>> and don't really have time for the rivalries.  I participate in 
what I'm
>> interested in and love being involved in the legislative process 
so that's
>> where I spend most of my time.

>> Hi Larry and Everyone,
>> Its like the Republicans and Democrats.  If only everyone would 
work for
>> the
>> same cause together this would be a better world.
>> Two months ago I was at a meeting and one of the men from the 
DOT told me
>> the blind people are the worse to work with because they are so 
divided.
>> It
>> was about the audible street light that I am working on with 
others to get
>> as many as we can put in Suffolk County.  Its a slow process but 
its
>> happening.  One group wants it and the other group says no.This 
was in
>> Hicksville a few years ago.  He was almost afraid to ask if I 
was involved
>> with these groups.  I told him at the moment I am neutral.  I am 
fighting
>> for
>> what I think blind people need in my county and what will make 
my life
>> easier crossing streets with my guide dog.
>> I was asked why are blind people so divided.  I said why are 
there
>> Democrats
>> and Republicans? We all think differently on what we need or 
should have.
>> I had a problem voting last Tuesday evening.  I was annoyed at 
the way the
>> board of election looks at disabled people.  there view is very 
few
>> (especially the blind ) don't come out to vote and if they do 
they send in
>> absentee ballots even though there not absent just to lazy to 
show who
>> they
>> are in there community.  In my community I know of 8 blind 
people in a two
>> mile radius .I get excuses from many we can't get to our polling 
place.  I
>> tell them yes you can.  Call your Politian's and they will give 
you a ride.
>> I
>> do.  Sometimes I walk with my guide dog to vote.  I don't live 
that far.
>> there
>> are a few hundred of us who push to show what abilities we have 
while a
>> few
>> thousand don't.
