[Nfbf-l] Fw: [announce] Vote on CRPD

Tue Dec 4 20:27:37 UTC 2012

Thanks for sending this out, Sherri. This is good news. I called Nelson and
Rubio's offices urging them to support this, and the vote went as I thought
it might, haha. I'm sure NFB and ACB members persistence helped get this
passed.

I hope no one is upset with me sending this out from the ACB list, but hey
