BOOST wants to kat
if CNIB clients have
yet : attained sufficien
quality, then ,who is to
ow
of
t
blame?
Rae kuggests, "Being
treated olely as clients
for 60 years has brought
about massive depen-
dence upon CNIB. By
becoming equal and
-participating members
partiters in .our_ ..own
dev °lopment, blind
people would be
stimulated to acquire a
higher consciousness,
increased productivity,
and more complete In-
tegration into our com-
munities."
BOOST points out that
frost Canadians take for
granted their right to vote
and, thereby, they have a
direct voice in decisions
which affect their daily
lives. The blind of Canada
want these same rights
from CNIB. Give us our
rightful representation,
and our quality will then
speak for.itself,
