Sent from my iPhone good afternoon my fellow Federation asked I would like to announce my candidacy for the presidency of the national Federation of the blind I believe it is time this organization took new direction we must realize the way to gain employment is to receive a lower wages we must support working for Goodwill it is it is the best way to gain employment secondly it is my firm commitment to partner with the American Council of the blind to adopt their policies and programs the NFB has been outdated four years we don't have innovation such as they do in the American Council for the blind we must learn from the American Council finally the reason I am running for this position is because the policy of using the long cane is wrong we must adopt a policy using shorter Cains in mobility if we use shorter canes then it is more likely that they'll be incidence of traffic fatalities for blind pedestrians now although this may sound like a tragedy the benefit is they'll be less blind people and they'll be more resources to help those blind people who survive thank you for your time and attention to thank you for your time and attention to this email PS please note the date
