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

[ckrugman at sbcglobal.net]

This is a good point. We don't need special forums but they need to present 
special forums so they can feel and look good about attempting to do 
outreach to the blind. After all someone's job may depend on reaching these 
blind people who might not be able to protect themselves from identity 
theft.
