Rights Coalition Announcement
As you know, the
National Federation of the Blind, NFB, is part of the Reading
Rights Coalition, along with 29 (and growing) groups that
support people with disabilities. The Reading Rights Coalition
has been created to raise awareness about the Authors Guild and
to support the 15 million print-disabled people in the US who
are effected by their decision to turn off the text-to-speech
function on the Kindle 2, stating that it violates copyright
law.
We are asking
everyone to go to the petition Web site at
www.thepetitionsite.com/1/We-Want-To-Read, sign
the petition, and forward to all of your contacts.
We are trying to
get 10,000 signatures and are one third of the way there.
Please help!
