[nfbcs] Opposing Freedom Scientific's signed Braille DriverInitiative

[Chris Westbrook]

I will sign and support this petition, but I wonder how successful it can 
really be since FS has the agencies in their pocket.  Unfortunately GW 
Micro's Braille support isn't quite as good as Freedom Scientifics' or I 
would switch.
