[Nfbf-l] Fw: Time to call your FloridaHouseRepresentative! Another Service for the Blind may begoing bythe Wayside.

Newsline is accessible both online and by phone. The online capabilities 
have recently been upgraded and it is wonderful now. There is more choice as 
to what you listen to than on the RRS. I hope we can somehow encourage the 
funding to be switched.
