[nfb-db] About This Group List

[Shadow Wolf]

Hey Janice,
I don't know much about the mainstream NFB. But I've heard somewhere 
that they have not paid much attention to the needs of the DB divisional 
members. But given to the growing and expanding DB community. They 
should start paying heed to the advocacy of the DB community. Many DBs 
are quite intelligent, and our intelligence is often underestimated by 
both the greater blind population and the deaf population. I think the 
DB will come out as a stronger group. Because of our combined 
disabilities and efforts to be heard.
