I strongly disagree with what one of our members said when someone asked this question at our convention what is the difference between the national federation of the blind, and the American council of the blind? Their response was that we are and we operate similarly to the republicans, and democrats. The reason why I strongly disagree with that statement is would you see Barack Obama singing a duet with mit Ronny? Absolutely not yet that is what we see in our blind communities you see the president of the California Council of the blind, inland empire chapter is singing a duet with me a very proud member of the NFB e
