It's just too bad they don't include the 3rd party candidates as well. Good 
start, though.

> Your 2012 election news is here!

> We are pleased to inform you about the addition of Election News and
> Information to the NFB-NEWSLINER telephone service and Web News on Demand.
> Now, NFB-NEWSLINER subscribers can listen to information from each of the
> presidential and vice-presidential candidates on their policies on
> education, economy and jobs, energy and environment, equal rights,
> healthcare, national security, and taxes. The information on the policies 
> of
> each of the candidates is taken from their own official campaign websites
> and put on NFB-NEWSLINER to provide access for our subscribers.
>
>
>
> We have also created a customized newspaper and magazine publication
> containing articles, based on a search of the most popular newspapers and
> magazines for both the Democratic and Republican candidates
>
>
>
> The newspaper search has been done by using the names of the candidates, 
> and
> it has been limited to the top fifty newspapers to make it more 
> manageable.
> The list containing the top fifty newspapers used in performing this 
> search
> is at the bottom of this announcement for your reference. The list of
> newspaper articles is divided into two issues: one containing articles 
> from
> today's newspapers, and another containing articles from yesterday's
> newspapers. The articles are listed in chronological order, so that the 
> most
> recent articles are on the top of the list, and those that were published
> earlier are toward the bottom of the list.
>
>
>
> There is also a separate list of searched magazine articles about the two
> presidential candidates containing the articles from the most recent
> magazine publications.
>
>
>
> To read election news on the telephone service, press the number 5 key in
> the main menu to select the option "to read newspapers in a different
> state." Then press 1 on the keypad to select "2012 Election News." Next
> there will be a list with the following options:
>
> To select the candidate for president, Democrat Barack Obama, press 1.
>
> To select the candidate for president, Republican Mitt Romney, press 2.
>
> To select the candidate for vice-president, Democrat Joe Biden, press 3.
>
> To select the candidate for vice-president, Republican Paul Ryan, press 4.
>
> To select the daily newspaper search results for Obama, press 5.
>
> To select the daily newspaper search results for Romney, press 6.
>
>
>
> Press the number 9 key to move to the next two items in the list in order 
> to
> read the magazine articles. You will see the following two options:
>
> To select the magazine search results for Obama, press 1.
>
> To select the magazine search results for Romney, press 2.
>
>
>
> Once you make your selection in this menu, you will be taken to the next
> menu containing the list of the searched articles, or the sections
> containing articles pertaining to different issues, such as healthcare,
> homeland security, or education.
>
>
>
> The searched articles list can be searched even further for specific
> phrases. For example, to find all the articles about Colorado in the list 
> of
> newspaper articles for president Obama, one may press the pound key twice 
> to
> start a new search. Each letter is typed by pressing two digits: For
> example, 01 for the letter a, 02 for the letter b, 26 for the letter z and
> so on. Press pound (#) once to get typing help. Once you type your search
> term, "Colorado," NFB-NEWSLINER will bring up all the occurrences of
> "Colorado" in the list of articles, and it will list them for you so that
> you may go through and read those specific articles. Press the number 3 
> key
> to go to the next article containing your search phrase, and press the
> number 1 key to go back to the previous article.
>
>
>
> A new feature has been introduced to assist you in managing a large number
> of articles! You may press the number 1 key to circle back to the end of 
> the
> list of articles. This feature is especially useful when you have a list 
> of
> 200 articles and you want to go all the way to the end of the list without
> having to press the number 3 key repeatedly. For example, if NFB-NEWSLINER
> tells you that there are 200 articles in a section and you want to go to
> article 198, then you would press the number 1 key three times after 
> hearing
> the system state that it was reading article 1.
>
>
>
> Those who want to do their own search for a topic and see all the
> occurrences of an article in all the different publications may do their 
> own
> global search by typing their search terms. The global-search feature can 
> be
> used by pressing 0 from the main menu, followed by number 4, and then 8, 
> to
> create a new content search. You may type your search term by pressing 01
> for the letter a, 02 for the letter b, 26 for the letter z, and so on. The
> first time you search for a term, it will be added to your list of terms, 
> so
> that you don't have to type it again in the future. When you are in typing
> mode, you may press the pound key once to get typing help. When you are
> finished typing your search term, just dial 99 to start your search.
>
>
>
> Election News is also available on the NFB-NEWSLINER iPhone app. It can be
> accessed under the publications option by selecting Publication Groups and
> then selecting 2012 Presidential Election. You may also read election
> information on Web News on Demand at www.nfbnewsline.org
