Dear Seniors:
If the Nfb has more then 50,000 members, only less than 1/10th of a percent
are using email? If we really are the voice of the blind then let's all
lobby for free high speed internet access and not say that it is not our
job. Only 10% of the legally blind cannot see anything at all but the 90%
have at least some vision to function with Zoom text or Jaws. Those programs
do not only enlarge but also read to us whatever email we receive. Without
free high speed access to the internet the free cameras from Sorensen are
useless. Yet, video relay services are subsidized at $7.00 per minute by the
FCC for the minority of only 10% of totally deaf. So let's all lobby and
please keep this website simple like direct email without all the confusing
instructions.
My love of aloha to all,
Heinz-Guenther Pink
