Hi Grant!  That message was quite telling about the destructive
lengths taken by the national and state presidents of the NFB in
order to secure a loyal following.  The expulsion action taken
against me has similarly been very destructive to the
Massachusetts affiliate.  Two members who are "seminarians"
(trained under Dr. Jernigan at a national leadership seminar in
Baltimore) resigned out of protest.  More than one chapter is on
the verge of collapse because of the outrage of members as to
the undemocratic conduct against me as well as other unsettling
actions that have been taking place in the affiliate for years.
  
I am interested to know what were the grounds for which they
wanted you to expel certain members of your New Orleans chapter?
