That will be hard to find.
Its basically democrats and republicans fighting for your money 
and support.
They seem to hate each other, insist that they speak for all 
blind people,
and are right in their positions and actions.

Read both of their monthly magazines for prospective.
The acb is colaborative with other agencies and disabilities, the 
NFB is
more grass roots and direct action for their constituency.

NFB Newsline and ACB radio are both great services.

The question is which organization is most active where you live.  
Read
attend meetings and choose what works for you.
If you are comfortable with evanjulism the NFB will feel 
comfortable.  It's
kind of like the NAACP and operation PUSH.

Personally, I wouldn't want to join an organization that would 
have me as a
member.

 Hi all,
 Knowing this might cause a bit of heat,  What is the difference 
between =
 the AFB and the NFB?  Knowing that there are some on the list 
that may =
 work for one or the other, you might be slited on one way or the 
other.  =
 Looking for a rational discussion.  Thanks Gary KB2YAA
