Hello, sending this to performing arts and Gui-talk because it's a related  
issue to CD baby.  I'm a player or at least want to be a player on the Game 
 show network site.  unfortunately none of the games, including the Bingo  
blitz drawing, the wonder wheel, and not even the chat room is accessible to 
the  blind.  This means I can only win on the televised GSN live rap 
arounds  between shows betweenthe hours of 3:00 and 6:00 eastern time.  I have an  
account and want to play those games and maybe today win $13,000 like 
sighted  people in the bingo blitz drawing.  All of the GSN content including the 
 chat is Flash.  I can only win the rewards points called Oodles about 50 
at  a time and to cash in oodles for all of the prizes you need thousands of  
oodles.  only for the daily or weekly or monthly drawings can I even have  
half a chance to win.  I don't want to say Don't watch GSN, because that  
only passes the problem on to someone else.  They wouldn't make the sight  
accesible if blind weren't watching, and GSN is one of the few really family  
viewing options left on TV.  So the question is how to make it known that  
blind people want access now, not tomorrow or next month or next year or years 
 from now that will show that there are many of us who like our sighted 
friends  watch and play along with game shows and there is only equality if we 
have the  same opportunity to win as sighted people.  I've given GSN the 
federation  Tech center and no movement at this time.  So my friends short of 
deleting  my account and opting out which is not an option, what should we do 
that will  make blind winners along with sighted.  any thoughts or ideas 
how we should  proceed in a way that lets them know we're fans and viewers too 
would be a big  help.  Thanks, let's achieve opportunity and equality for 
the blind  together.  
 
I pledge to  participate actively in the efforts of the national federation 
of the blind to  achieve equality, opportunity, and security for the blind; 
to support the  policies and programs of the federation; and abide by it's  
constitution.
