[Nfbf-l] Putting your money where your mouth is

[Kirk]

Eric, you obviously don't  know me or what I have done for the NFBF for the 
last 9 years, or the non profit I worked to not only create for our state to 
give our less privileged used equipment that will give them the independence 
many of us have and work on many  state board for many years with the 
Blinded Veterans association, Our State Veterans advisory counsel and 
theFund raisers that have been extremely  profitable, and now am on the 
Mayors   Transit advisory counsel, and the Mayors disabled advisory counsel, 
and representing our  NFB on them as well. let's not forget all my trips to 
Baltimore, the State and National conventions always on my nickel, and 
working the Newsline florida  help line and giving  my many demo's! You mean 
putting my money where my mouth is kind of like that?
Oh, did I say that the State Senators, Representatives, and local 
politicians I have  developed relationships with through my advocacy for the 
NFB that  has always worked with me on different intrests of our blind 
community? Or the Awareness I have brought to Police chiefs in the cities I 
have lived in to train and inform  their patrolmen about the white cane law? 
How about the scholarship and business partnerships luncheons I created in 
Orlando for our people locally as well? Oh, the I am going to 4, yes 4, 
florida conventions to let the unfortunate members of the NFB  the FCB have 
the opportunity to learn about our FDCP,Inc program  that could helop them 
in the near future as well! Hmm.....Your a fool! Next time you wish to 
comment on  a topic from another state, you had better ask around about the 
individuals you are trying to smart ass with!  KH

Let's see, putting your money, where your mouth is: Hmmm!

If you enjoy helping out other blind people out, if you enjoy State and
National Conventions that will help you grow as a leader, dues are
important.  It shows the Federation that you're "putting your money, where
your mouth is."  Kirk, what you, essentially, said to RJ was just that.
Another way to put it is, "money talks."  The teachings of Marc Maurer,
Jacobus TenBroek, and Kenneth Jernigan teach blind people that "if you
believe in a cause, champion it."  Give money to it, and legislate, on
behalf of it.  Right, Kirk?  Right, Gloria?  Right, RJ?
