Brian is doing what he can and what he is allowed to do per national regulations. Doing what national says must be adhered to, as they are over all the states and their chapters. We have to be on the up and up. Providing steps and clarifications is fine. Taking to this platform to smear people or take something in a totally different direction than its intent, like with Donna’s issue, is wrong too. We as members must respect the authorities above us at state and national and keep them in the loop on what is going on. While we are all people and may not always agree on issues, we have to work together and come together to do right by the organization. No matter who is in power at the state level, national NFB guidelines must be followed, and national must know what is going on, or this will lead to our sad demise. I say this because we have elections in April. Come on everybody, and let’s do right for the “People’s Movement”. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>President, Riccabono, I am sorry you have to deal with pettiness.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Thank you.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>________________________________________________________________________________________________________<span style='mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:22.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'>“Time is Your Only Non-Renewable Resource, Use It Wisely.” </span></b><b><span style='font-size:10.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'>Written by: Audrey Fairbrother</span></b><b><span style='font-size:22.5pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;mso-ligatures:none'><o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal>?<b><span style='color:black'>VEGR</span></b><b><i><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='color:black'>Little Rock, AR<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><b><span style='color:black'>Email: </span></b><a href="mailto:Robertson.virginia@gmail.com"><b><span style='color:blue'>Robertson.virginia@gmail.com</span></b></a><b><i><span style='color:black'><br><br></span></i></b><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div></body></html>
