[Nfbmo] blind pension

[Roger Crome]

I do agree with Corey that we should be cautious with how we express our political opinions.  However, Dave, I would like to address your initial intent of your post.  The Blind Pension is a valuable commodity for many Missourians, and I’m sure that no one would turn down a small cash windfall.  However, a payout in our current political environment could spark a battle against the blind that could harm many people.  The money paid out is a constitutional mandate, but the Medicaid is not.
  So, this would offer an easy go to for a we’ll show you.  If we were to decide, as an organization, to take on the issue, we could not pick up the torch from MCB because they were the initial plaintiff.  If we were to file a suit, it would be starting over.  I am a newcomer to the NFB, but I think this has been one of those dividing points between MCB and NFB.

My reasoning for saying we should be cautious about how we express our political opinions is that we are supposed to be a unified voice for change of commongood.  That unification begins to break down if we begin to lose focus by fighting about politics.

Hi Folks,
MCB has started this law suit, I really think we as the NFB need to finish
their work since they probably have lost faith or consentration on this huge
issue that has been going on way way too long.  We should rally in Jefferson
City and get this settled once and for all, for all blind Missourians,
hopefully this will not jeperdize the pension fund for those who really need
it, I bet the Missouri taxpayer would just love to know where their tax
dollars are going, its bad enough that a state rep wished that Trumpth would
be shot and killed, that will probably drag on for months as well trying to
get her out of office asking her to resign, she probably will not get re
elected when the time comes up.  Dave Hutchins
