[Nfbf-l] Letter from Senator Nelson

[Dan Hicks]

This letter from Florida Senator Bill Nelson came too late to read at our
NFBF State Convention. However I wanted to share it with all of you. The
letter itself is attached as a .PDF file, so the list may strip the
attachment. But, below is the text of the letter.
