[nfb-talk] Check Out This Link On Rush Limbaugh talking about blindjustice

[John Heim]

Yeah, the NFB has already won. It doesn't really have anything to gain from 
taking a swing at Rush Limbaugh unless you believe that all publicity is 
good publicity. I am actually sort of in that group. I think it would be 
good for the NFB to get Rush Limbaugh to acknowledge its existance even if 
it was in a negative way.

Kind of ironic, actually. Rush would like the NFB way more than any 
disability rights group I've ever seen. Way more than the ACB for sure.

"The NFB" has responded.  FYI, my friends, the following paragraph is posted 
on www.nfb.org:

NFB Defends Rights of Blind Students
The National Federation of the Blind responded today to recent attacks on 
the right of blind students to have equal access to technologies used by 
America's universities and to the textbooks and course materials offered by 
institutions of higher learning.  The NFB and the United States Department 
of Justice, Civil Rights Division, have come under attack in recent days for 
reaching settlements with universities requiring that the universities 
refrain from purchasing any e-book technology that is not fully accessible 
to the blind. For the full statement, please read the official press 
release. [a link is provided on the Web site.]

PS: I suggest we don't help this loud and rude guy on the radio stir up more 
debates to fatten his wallet and expand his ego. Do something positive 
instead, like Promote Access to Science Education for Blind Students: Vote 
every day for the NFB Youth Slam in the Pepsi Refresh Project by texting 
101913 to Pepsi (73774). (Information on this topic is posted on 
www.nfb.org.)

Cordially,
Lorraine Rovig
Member of NFB since July 1975 and
attendee at every national NFB convention since 1976
