[nfb-talk] [NFB-talk] [NFB-talk] New List for BlindConservatives

[Ed Meskys]

Ray, For years I had had the impression that the NFB officials were more 
conservative than liberal. My mind freezes up and I cannot think of the 
names of people I have known for years. I am certain that the past president 
of Iowa, and of the DC affiliate, were active workers in the Republican 
cause. I had the vague impression that both Drs Jernigan and Maurer were 
conservative. But that doesn't matter. They do not allow their personal 
politics interfere with their NFB work. As Dr. Jernigan said at one 
Washington Seminar, paraphrasing, we are not a conservative organization or 
a liberal organization. We are a blindness organization. We have had 
extremists on botgh sides of the aisle work on our legislation.
