This collective action we all have learned could work, but I would hate to see any animosity on either side.  I just don't trust the hotel.

Me too.  Maybe, since the contract is already in place, the best thing to do 
is to simply boycott this national convention.  I'm certainly not attending 
unless we get some major clarification.

I would  like to know what the view of our national leaders is about this. 
This troubles me very much!

Hi,

If the owners would pull something like this toward the victims, what other 
lapses of conscience might they have regarding our organization?  It makes 
me wonder if they are sue-happy?  I don't mean to be unfair, but to me, 
suing the victims, of all people, who don't need any more on their plate 
right now, seems unconscionable.

I had wondered the same thing Dan.  I hope we made the deal before the 
shootings and the actions of the hotel against the victims.

Yes, I didn't make that connection right away either, so you aren't the only 
one.

Isn't the connection rather obvious?

I had not realized until I saw these news reports that the hotel we are 
using for our 2019 convention is the same hotel that the Las Vegas shooter 
used to massacre more 58 people in injure hundreds more. I had not made the 
connection. The reason it has resurfaced in the news is that the hotel's 
owners are suing the victims of the shooting, to stop them from claiming 
damages from the hotel, if the hotel is found to be culpable. This seems to 
be kind of a slimy move on the part of a hotel, with which the NFB is 
contracting with.

Maybe we reached out to them before the shootings -- or at least before 
those callous pre-emptive law suits?  Or, maybe this is why the NFB is 
getting such good rates?

Just what, I wonder, has this got to do with blindness or us?
