[nfbwatlk] SUB MINIMUM WAGE

[debby phillips]

Carl, do you understand a little why I had to leave ACB?  By 
failing to even discuss the resolution pertaining to minimum 
wage, and by Mr.  Pomerantz's comments saying that it was not a 
"blindness" issue and only affected a few blind folks, and nobody 
in that huge room spoke up to disagree with him.  It so why I am 
willing to be misunderstood, and why people disapprove of my 
recent action of leaving ACB.  I want to stand for those blind 
folks who are treated unfairly.  I love the quote that you sent 
at the end.  If we don't speak out then when we need someone to 
speak on our behalf, who will be there to do so?    Peace,    
Debby
