[Missouri-l] personal attack

[Phyllis Lovett]

Below is the exact wording of the heading of the nasty e-mail as read to me by my JAWS speech program.  I have no more to say on this subject.

It seems all you have an interest in is throwing a monkey wrench into anything our president wants to do.  You do too much listening to the grapevine and
it seems to me that you may be the source of your own rumors.  Having a sighted Executive Director is better than none at all or one that doesn't measure
up and merely accepts his or her pay check.  We are mired in a financial crisis or haven't you noticed. Our president is doing his best to bring this organization
back on track and continually running up against obstructionists like you.  I urge our representatives to vote yes.  And many others share my opinion.

Subject: [Missouri-l] No sighted E.D. 

The MCB grapevine is saying that the personnel committee has selected a sighted man for the position of Executive Director.  This move would demean the
goals of our organization.  If MCB board hires a sighted director, it gives the impression that we poor, stupid blind people cannot run our organization. 
We have worked too many years and too hard to destroy the knowledge of the abilities and capabilities of blind people that MCB promotes.  It would not
give a positive statement to other disability groups, city and state officials and other blind people.  MCB members have always been adamant about persons
who are blind running our organization.  I feel having a sighted E.D. will lower the esteem of our organization.  Talk to your board members and encourage
them to vote NO!  This is my opinion but many others share it.
