[nagdu] The membership has spoken, and I am disappointed

[Debby Phillips]

Hi Margo, I totally agree. Non passage of this Resolution is inconsistent with NFB philosophy. I believe that we were too hasty to get through all the resolutions, and perhaps there were too many for the time allotted for them. I do not know who this feedback should go to, but I will be finding out and giving it to someone. We now have voted on resolutions that are policy. We need to giv them the seriousness and discussion they deserve.

I do not understand why guide dog schools are put on pedestals higher than any other entity.  I also don't understand why NFB members are so against unconditional ownership.  In NFB, we have high expectations of our capabilities but not passing this resolution to me shows a lack of faith in blind people by many of our own membership.

My understanding is that the guide dog schools are independent entities. How does this resolution get them to change their policies?

Hopefully they know my thoughts on the subject, but I'm not there and it bothers me that I didn't know to be able to explain my views beforehand.
