[NFBF-Tampa] please signFw: Americans with disabilities

[Jim Lovell]

I am also a conservative, but this is not about being a conservative or 
liberal this is about our accessability to the same rights as sighted 
people.  You do realize that these two bills also include your accessability 
to the internet and the websites.
Respectfully,
Jimmy Lovell

As a conservative, I would never sign anything issued by change.org or
moveon.org.
