<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Mr. Lozier claims to be a member of the National
Association of Blind Merchants of Michigan. Is there any wonder as to
where he really stands?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>While we're asking questions, since when was it
declared legal to take a vote via e-mail on any issue before the Elected
Operators' Committee? Maybe it's like the "federal law" that says that
operators do not have the right to make motions from the floor at the annual
workshop, as acting Program Manager James Hull and EOC member Greg Keathley
allege. By the way, gentlemen, I'm still waiting for the promised
documentation of your claim on this matter.</FONT></DIV>

Hi Andrea,<BR> <BR>who cares, the vote will be the same either way, the NFB
is not taking this committee over. and they certainly are not going to tell us
to re work our motions. The NFB merchants division made is it crystal
clear on saturday they are not here to help only to criticize and
critique. the animosity and contempt for the EOC was very obvious and
thoughtless at the recent meeting. I know you were not there so i will
give you an update. The merchants division was kind enough to say some are
are motions are ok, but not really important. But they intend to lobby
against others and ask to send them back to the EOC for more WORK, what a
joke. So i am very sure the vote will be the same either way.
Why would we ever want more na sayers and obstructionists on the committee as
we can not write good policy now according to the NFB. When i asked
them to tone down their criticism in the letter, they laughed at me, and
unanimously voted to slam us!!!!!!! That includes you as you are elected to
represent the operators first and not be a puppet of others, so they do not like
or respect your work either. Please feel free to share these comments and
thoughts with anyone you like. Including James Hull, WE ARE NOW DECIDING
HOW THE RULES AND POLICIES ARE GOING TO BE INTERPRETED and his opinions are
worth as much as the NFBs, zip, zero nothing, we have been ELECTED to
REPRESENT BLIND OPERATORS NOT THE OUTSIDERS THAT HAVE AXES TO
GRIND..<BR> <BR>Thanks<BR> <BR>Bill <BR> merchants division
member<BR>for now until i get my 2 bucks worth<BR>I have not yet!!!!!<BR>MY VOTE
IS FOR RUTHERFORD<BR>
