The ACB's lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Treasury to make
them make money accessible was already flawed to say the least.
According to the United States Constitution, the power to design money
has been delegated to Congress, and the Department of the Treasury is
only responsible for carrying out the orders of Congress. Therefore, the
best way to make money accessible would have been for any and all
so-called advocacy organizations to lobby Congress and get a bill passed
and signed by the President of the United States that would redesign our
money in an accessible way. Do I think the ACB's lawsuit was a publicity
stunt? Absolutely, as if they wanted us to have accessible money for
sure, they would have gone through the proper channels and we would have
had it by now. Instead, where are we? No closer to truly accessible
currency than we were when this whole sleighride begen nearly 10 years
ago. Thank you, ACB and NFB for being such advocates for the needs of
blind and visually impaired citizens of the United States. Without your
petty bickering and your "We're not them" attitudes, the world would
certainly be a better and more friendly place for all of us.
