I'm very sorry to hear of your pending expulsion, but Scott I'm not 
surprised.  I was a dedicated worker and member of the NFB from 1976 to 
1987 and though I wasn't expelled at a formal level, it was made clear 
to me bythe powers that be of the stat of Louisiana affiliate that it 
would be best that I resign.  I never had any problems with the 
National level but what goes at the top goes with the affiliates so if 
I'd not resigned voluntarely it would have happened anyway.   As you 
said the NFB has no tolerence for views that don't strictly follow the 
party line of the politician who is in power.  The NFB claims to be an 
organization established to help the blind of this nation and the world 
but what they don't say is thatmembers had better follow the political 
whims to theletter.  Grant
