[nfbmi-talk] related to federal issue

[joe harcz Comcast]

Thanks. I've also been alerting the community of people with disabilities 
beyond the blind that their programs are in jeopardy as well.

We're frankly talking about tens of millions of federal funds at risk here.

Moreover, those employees who are in these programs have their jobs at risk 
as well.

IIt isn't just the Director's job at risk.
