[NFBMT] no nfb newsline

[rixmix2009 at gmail.com]

We have fallen upon hard times, folks.
No other way I can put it.
We have to do something, or we don't have to do anything.
But there are times when folks take away something, and you either accept it
or you don't.
I don't know how long it will take. But it was sure good to get newspapers
and magazines.

Dar, you asked about other states.
I don't think that will work if they know where you live.
I can  tell you that because I used to have an account  in Louisiana.

I suppose we could all just move.
But well maybe don't go and put ideas like that in anyone's head.

As one member of MAB told me, they don't care about reading any news, so who
cares.
Oh, boy. Did that make me shiver. When so many benefits are lost on those
who choose to not be actively involved.

The last day NFB Newsline was available in Montana was October 31, 2019.
It's gone until we can get it restored.

The best way to get NFB Newsline restored in Montana is to reach out to your
local media.  Letters to the Editor may help.  Also, if anyone has a
relationship with political leaders, please reach out to them and tell them
what NFB Newsline means to you.  Now is the time to make some noise.

The NFB of Montana will soon publish sample letters to the editor and a
talking point document.  It won't do much good to reach out to Scott White
or other national staff members because they know, and they have done a
great deal to prevent Montana's loss of NFB Newsline.  Those professionals
are still helping us get it back.  It may take a long while, though.  But we
have to try because without NFB Newsline, many of us are isolated and
segregated from information everyone else takes for granted.

Stay tuned for more information coming soon.

This is the first day I have seen us not with news line in the in box for
quite some time.
I have a question, don't know if it would work or nit, where I don't have
Scotts email to write him and ask him.
I realize we are working on getting news line back in Montana, where I am
wondering if we could join another state until it happens.
Colorado I had news line there before I moved up here.
Just some thoughts.
We are on the same time zone.
