Dear President Willows:

Thank you for posting this. Until just recently, I was seriously considering
removing myself from this list serve. I have always found it informative,
with the various topics that had been posted. However, in recent months,
there have been more and more political posting that I feel do not belong on
this list serve, and now you have made it possible to remain on it (for now)
and contribute whenever I deem fit. 

Thanks for reinforcing the philosophy of the NFB and regulations of what can
and cannot be posted to this list serve. Those who post need to understand
that everyone is entitled to their privacy regarding political affiliations,
and there are times that a particular posting may offend or infringe on
one's beliefs. Again, thanks for listening. 

Eileen

> CUPERTINO - Meg Whitman, Republican candidate for Governor, today
> announced the endorsement of Bill Jones, one of California's most

> Republican leaders. Jones served as California Secretary of State from

> through 2002, and in his second term was one of two Republicans to win
> statewide election
> "I am honored to have the support of Bill Jones, one of our state's most
> distinguished Republican leaders. As an Assemblyman, Bill successfully led
> Californians to adopt one of the most crucial public safety laws in
> California history, 'Three Strikes and You're Out'. As Secretary of State,
> he implemented key measures to protect the integrity of our democratic
> process by making our election and campaign reform systems cleaner, fairer
> and more transparent,'' Whitman said.

> "I find inspiration in Bill's leadership, dedication to Republican
> principles and emphasis on making government more cost-effective,
> transparent and relevant for Californians. His counsel and advice,
> particularly on the water issue, will be instrumental in moving my 
> campaign

> to serve in a constitutional office in over a century. On his re-election
> in 1998, he won 500,000 more votes than the Republican gubernatorial
> candidate. He ran for governor in 2002 and, in 2004, he was the Republican
> nominee for the U.S. Senate.
>
> In 1994 as an Assemblyman, Jones received national acclaim when he worked
> closely with Mike Reynolds to author California's immensely popular "Three

> of
> the vote He was the first Secretary of State to put campaign finance
> information on the Internet and served as Assembly Republican Leader from
> 1991 to 1992.
