[nfb-talk] Resolutions

[Alan Wheeler]

I tend to agree.  To me, a bit higher room rate is worth everything we get.
As has been pointed out in previous posts, there was so much to choose from,
it was often difficult to pick one particular thing for a given time slot.

Personally, I came to feel the deep-rooted convictions of the federation
philosophy in me to the point that the sacrifice of raising extra funds to
pay higher room rates makes it seem worthwhile to me.

then we as members of the organization need to realize that our rates will
most likely go up. More opportunities for fundraising. I have already bee n
given the argument "Most of us are on ssi and we can't afford it." I
remember ssi and when I wanted to do something I saved for it, and most
affiliates are so willing to help convention goers financially
