The passing of Michael Jackson was a great loss
He brought a lot of smiles to people all over the world
I don't think he was understood I think he was a big kid with a wonderful
heart
No one should judge him that is what our lord is for
May God be with all his family and comfort all his fans
Michael didn't see color or disabilities he had a great heart
And I will miss him I think he is in soul heaven with all the other great
people that left us to soon dawn lanting

Subject: [Ohio-talk] message regarding what to PAC for Convention
To: david.andrews at nfbnet.org

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; format=flowed
Greetings Fellow Federationists:
As you are getting ready for Convention, you may
be wondering what to PAC. Well, the answer is
your check book or at least the account and
routing numbers to your bank account. The PAC,
or the Preauthorized Contribution Program, is one
of the major fundraisers for our
Federation. Each year we bring in about
$360,000.00 to the organization. It is the
program through which we can make easy, monthly
donations to our national treasury. These
general funds go to support our scholarship
program, our legal advocacy, our public education
campaigns, and more. A person can give as little
as $5.00 a month or more to the Program. All we
need is a bank account from which we can withdraw
money. We need your bank's name, bank account
number, and the bank's national routing
number. Your bank can give you all of this
information with one simple phone call. However,
it would be best to get a voided check from you
because that document has all the info we
need. So, just throw that check book in your brief case and come ahead!
Individuals aren't the only ones who can
give. Any affiliate, chapter, division, or
Federation group can get on the Program as long
as you have a bank account, of course. We
can take donations from savings accounts as
long as the account permits external withdraws
and you give the information noted above. Again,
we will need your bank's name, your account
number, and the bank's national, also known as ABA, routing number.
As usual, We will be running a number of contests
at Convention. For the NFB affiliate that has
the most number of people/entities either start a
new pledge or increase an existing one,, we will
award the PAC Rat. The division with the most
activity will receive the PAC Mule. At the
national board meeting, I will be awarding
special prizes to the state affiliates that have
had the largest percentage increase over the last
year, one award will go to a large affiliate and
another to a smaller affiliate.
Additionally, we will hold a cash drawing at the
end of convention for two categories of people,
those who start a new pledge and those who
increase a pledge. The individual whose name is
drawn will receive $150.00 in cash. There will
be two drawings, one for the new pledges and one
for the increases. However, if we reach our
convention goal of increasing annualized PAC
giving to $400,000.00 or more, the cash prizes will increase to $300.00.
I look forward to seeing many of you at
convention. For those who can't come, I look
forward to your participation through other
means. For example, I can email you a PAC form
if you just shoot me a message at the below email.

I hope that you are doing well at this busy time of year! I apologize for
the lateness of this e-mail, but at convention the NFB Jernigan Institute
Education Team will present a youth outreach seminar for our
affiliates-Federation Re-Generation-on Sunday, July 5, from 7-9 p.m. in the
Duluth B Room on Level 5. We will discuss building affiliates and the NFB
by getting the next generation of leaders involved early. We are asking
each affiliate to send a representative-preferably the person you have
previously identified or someone newly identified to coordinate your youth

you so much for all your help! See you at convention!

National Federation of the Blind and American Council of the Blind
File Discrimination Suit Against Arizona State University
University?s Amazon Kindle DX Pilot Program Discriminates Against the Blind
Baltimore, Maryland (June 25, 2009): The National
Federation of the Blind (NFB) and the American
Council of the Blind (ACB) filed suit today
against Arizona State University (ASU) to prevent
the university from deploying Amazon?s Kindle DX
electronic reading device as a means of
distributing electronic textbooks to its students
because the device cannot be used by blind
students. Darrell Shandrow, a blind ASU student,
is also a named plaintiff in the action. The
Kindle DX features text-to-speech technology that
can read textbooks aloud to blind students. The
menus of the device are not accessible to the
blind, however, making it impossible for a blind
user to purchase books from Amazon?s Kindle
store, select a book to read, activate the
text-to-speech feature, and use the advanced
reading functions available on the Kindle DX. In
addition to ASU, five other institutions of
higher education are deploying the Kindle DX as
part of a pilot project to assess the role of
electronic textbooks and reading devices in the
classroom. The NFB and ACB have also filed
complaints with the Office for Civil Rights of
the U.S. Department of Education and the Civil
Rights Division of the U.S. Department of
Justice, asking for investigations of these five
institutions, which are: Case Western Reserve
University, the Darden School of Business at the
University of Virginia, Pace University,
Princeton University, and Reed College. The
lawsuit and complaints allege violations of the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Rehabilitation Act of 1973.
Dr. Marc Maurer, President of the National
Federation of the Blind, said: ?Given the
highly-advanced technology involved, there is no
good reason that Amazon?s Kindle DX device should
be inaccessible to blind students. Amazon could
have used the same text-to-speech technology that
reads e-books on the device aloud to make its
menus accessible to the blind, but it chose not
to do so. Worse yet, six American higher
education institutions that are subject to
federal laws requiring that they not discriminate
against students with disabilities plan to deploy
this device, even though they know that it cannot
be used by blind students. The National
Federation of the Blind will not tolerate this
unconscionable discrimination against and callous
indifference to the right of blind students to
receive an equal education. We hope that this
situation can be rectified in a manner that
allows this exciting new reading technology to be
made available to blind and sighted students alike.?
Darrell Shandrow, a blind student pursuing a
degree in journalism at ASU, said: ?Not having
access to the advanced reading features of the
Kindle DX?including the ability to download books
and course materials, add my own bookmarks and
notes, and look up supplemental information
instantly on the Internet when I encounter it in
my reading?will lock me out of this new
technology and put me and other blind students at
a competitive disadvantage relative to our
sighted peers. While my peers will have instant
access to their course materials in electronic
form, I will still have to wait weeks or months
for accessible texts to be prepared for me, and
these texts will not provide the access and
features available to other students. That is
why I am standing up for myself and with other
blind Americans to end this blatant discrimination.?

> Greetings Fellow Federationists:
>
> As you are getting ready for Convention, you may
> be wondering what to PAC. Well, the answer is
> your check book or at least the account and
> routing numbers to your bank account. The PAC,
> or the Preauthorized Contribution Program, is one
> of the major fundraisers for our
> Federation. Each year we bring in about
> $360,000.00 to the organization. It is the
> program through which we can make easy, monthly
> donations to our national treasury. These
> general funds go to support our scholarship
> program, our legal advocacy, our public education
> campaigns, and more. A person can give as little
> as $5.00 a month or more to the Program. All we
> need is a bank account from which we can withdraw
> money. We need your bank's name, bank account
> number, and the bank's national routing
> number. Your bank can give you all of this
> information with one simple phone call. However,
> it would be best to get a voided check from you
> because that document has all the info we
> need. So, just throw that check book in your brief case and come ahead!
>
> Individuals aren't the only ones who can
> give. Any affiliate, chapter, division, or
> Federation group can get on the Program as long
> as you have a bank account, of course. We
> can take donations from savings accounts as
> long as the account permits external withdraws
> and you give the information noted above. Again,
> we will need your bank's name, your account
> number, and the bank's national, also known as ABA, routing number.
>
> As usual, We will be running a number of contests
> at Convention. For the NFB affiliate that has
> the most number of people/entities either start a
> new pledge or increase an existing one,, we will
> award the PAC Rat. The division with the most
> activity will receive the PAC Mule. At the
> national board meeting, I will be awarding
> special prizes to the state affiliates that have
> had the largest percentage increase over the last
> year, one award will go to a large affiliate and
> another to a smaller affiliate.
>
> Additionally, we will hold a cash drawing at the
> end of convention for two categories of people,
> those who start a new pledge and those who
> increase a pledge. The individual whose name is
> drawn will receive $150.00 in cash. There will
> be two drawings, one for the new pledges and one
> for the increases. However, if we reach our
> convention goal of increasing annualized PAC
> giving to $400,000.00 or more, the cash prizes will increase to $300.00.
>
> I look forward to seeing many of you at
> convention. For those who can't come, I look
> forward to your participation through other
> means. For example, I can email you a PAC form
> if you just shoot me a message at the below email.

Subject: [Ohio-talk] message regarding what to PAC for Convention
To: david.andrews at nfbnet.org
Message-ID: <auto-000104815612 at mailfront1.g2host.com>
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"; format=flowed
Greetings Fellow Federationists:
As you are getting ready for Convention, you may
be wondering what to PAC. Well, the answer is
your check book or at least the account and
routing numbers to your bank account. The PAC,
or the Preauthorized Contribution Program, is one
of the major fundraisers for our
Federation. Each year we bring in about
$360,000.00 to the organization. It is the
program through which we can make easy, monthly
donations to our national treasury. These
general funds go to support our scholarship
program, our legal advocacy, our public education
campaigns, and more. A person can give as little
as $5.00 a month or more to the Program. All we
need is a bank account from which we can withdraw
money. We need your bank's name, bank account
number, and the bank's national routing
number. Your bank can give you all of this
information with one simple phone call. However,
it would be best to get a voided check from you
because that document has all the info we
need. So, just throw that check book in your brief case and come ahead!
Individuals aren't the only ones who can
give. Any affiliate, chapter, division, or
Federation group can get on the Program as long
as you have a bank account, of course. We
can take donations from savings accounts as
long as the account permits external withdraws
and you give the information noted above. Again,
we will need your bank's name, your account
number, and the bank's national, also known as ABA, routing number.
As usual, We will be running a number of contests
at Convention. For the NFB affiliate that has
the most number of people/entities either start a
new pledge or increase an existing one,, we will
award the PAC Rat. The division with the most
activity will receive the PAC Mule. At the
national board meeting, I will be awarding
special prizes to the state affiliates that have
had the largest percentage increase over the last
year, one award will go to a large affiliate and
another to a smaller affiliate.
Additionally, we will hold a cash drawing at the
end of convention for two categories of people,
those who start a new pledge and those who
increase a pledge. The individual whose name is
drawn will receive $150.00 in cash. There will
be two drawings, one for the new pledges and one
for the increases. However, if we reach our
convention goal of increasing annualized PAC
giving to $400,000.00 or more, the cash prizes will increase to $300.00.
I look forward to seeing many of you at
convention. For those who can't come, I look
forward to your participation through other
means. For example, I can email you a PAC form
if you just shoot me a message at the below email.

Dear State Presidents:
I hope that you are doing well at this busy time of year! I apologize for
the lateness of this e-mail, but at convention the NFB Jernigan Institute
Education Team will present a youth outreach seminar for our
affiliates-Federation Re-Generation-on Sunday, July 5, from 7-9 p.m. in the
Duluth B Room on Level 5. We will discuss building affiliates and the NFB
by getting the next generation of leaders involved early. We are asking
each affiliate to send a representative-preferably the person you have
previously identified or someone newly identified to coordinate your youth
outreach. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Thank
you so much for all your help! See you at convention!

Greetings from the GREAT State of Michigan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As everyone knows the March for independence is Monday, July 6th. I
am writing you about an opportunity that exists to serve your
Federation Family. If you think you have a loud voice and don't mind
using it, I need you.
I need people to Marshall inside the hotel the morning of the
March. This would mean meeting me in the hotel lobby , 3rd floor
near the Volt Bar at 5:45 AM. We need time to go over things and get
you in place by 6:15. You may still participate in the March if
you'd like, very much encouraged.
Also, if you would like to volunteer at any other point during
convention please let me know. I need people to Marshall during
lunch and the night of the Banquet. I can use you for as long or as
short of a time as you'd like.
Thank you for your Help and we welcome you to the Great state of Michigan.

In light of the passing of Mr. Jackson, I was thinking about when I lived in
Gary Indiana from 1970 to 1985.
I would walk by the Jackson family house frequently as I went to visit one
of the elderly Mothers in our church.
I use to go their and play the piano for her and on more than one occasion
I'd stop just outside of that house at 2300 Jackson street and wonder what
memories lurked within!
In 1983 I had the opportunity to work briefly with one of the early
producers of the Jackson family and he told me that they were one of the
most gifted families he had ever seen and despite his bitterness at how they
left Gary, he was convinced that the world would hear from them.
What an understatement!
