[nfb-talk] Announcement: FTC's Identity Theft Program for the Blind and Visually Impaired

[Joshua Lester]

Hi all!
I'm going to say this, and then I'm going to church!
It's the FTC, (AKA,) our U.S. Government!
If our government is ignorant enough to allow sub-minimum wages for workers with disabilities, they're just as ignorant about other blindness-related stuff!
I'm glad this call is going on, because that's an opportunity to educate those bafoons in our government, about what we can do, and that we don't need special forums like this!
Blessings, Joshua

One wonders why there has to be an exclusive forum on identification theft for the blind.  Identity theft is identity theft, no matter whether you can see or not.

Cordially,
Michael D. Barber
