[nfb-talk] [Blindtlk] HumanWare, Extreme Makeover Home Edition, here we go again

[RyanO]

Steve, don't misunderstand what I'm saying. I've never denied that money is 
an important driving force in ours or any organization. I've never been 
ashamed of our fundraising abilities or accomplishments in the face of 
criticism by the ACB and others. I am well aware that money keeps us 
thriving and competitive.

Of course we should not turn down donations from Humanware, or any company 
at all. I simply believe that money should not be our absolute number one 
priority. Our philosophical principles must remain as our central driving 
force. When the two come into conflict (and you know that scenario is 
possible), money should not win out. If it does, our organization takes the 
first step from advocacy group to service provider and that's not the 
mission I signed up for.

By the way, does anyone have a copy of Humanware's press release on the 
show? I'd be interested in seeing a copy.
