Hello you probably already saw this, and it is very important that we
provide comments on the policy but please think about what you are saying. I
am willing to speak with anyone about this and the affiliate will be
submitting comments.

 

 

Richard Payne,  President

National Federation of the Blind of Ohio

The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the
characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back
