Free Matter For The Blind

I have some audio books that I am done with , and offered on a group called sightexchange, which is like freecycle, for the blind and visually impaired.

They said to send things as Free Matter for the Blind when sending things to people, as everything -is- for people who are visually impaired.

However, the people at the post office didn't know how to send things in this way, and I don't know how!

Can anyone walk me through the process? I heard you could print up the labels somewhere, but I don't have a printer.

Hello Jewel, I haven't send any before, but I found this in USPS site, hope this helps regarding this subject.

You can print this out from the library and take it to the post office. Hope it helps. I will try to find more details when I go to my Post office about this.

eyes, blue eyes What's the matter, matter Blue eyes, blue eyes What's the matter matter so blind, so blind What's the matter, matter ...

I love being a conservative. We conservatives are proud of our philosophy. Unlike our liberal friends, who are constantly looking for new words to conceal their true beliefs and are in a perpetual state of reinvention, we conservatives are unapologetic about our ideals. We are confident in our principles and energetic about openly advancing them. We believe in individual liberty, limited government, capitalism, the rule of law, faith, a color-blind society and national security. We support school choice, enterprise zones, tax cuts, welfare reform, faith-based initiatives, political speech, homeowner rights and the war on terrorism. And at our core we embrace and celebrate the most magnificent governing document ever ratified by any nation--the U.S. Constitution. Along with the Declaration of Independence, which recognizes our God-given natural right to be free, it is the foundation on which our government is built and has enabled us to flourish as a people.

We conservatives are never stronger than when we are advancing our principles. And that's the nature of our current debate over the nomination of Harriet Miers. Will she respect the Constitution? Will she be an originalist who will accept the limited role of the judiciary to interpret and uphold it, and leave the elected branches--we, the people--to set public policy? Given the extraordinary power the Supreme Court has seized from the representative parts of our government, this is no small matter. Roe v. Wade is a primary example of judicial activism. Regardless of one's position on abortion, seven unelected and unaccountable justices simply did not have the constitutional authority to impose their pro-abortion views on the nation. The Constitution empowers the people, through their elected representatives in Congress or the state legislatures, to make this decision.

Abortion is only one of countless areas in which a mere nine lawyers in robes have imposed their personal policy preferences on the rest of us. The court has conferred due process rights on terrorists detained at Guantanamo Bay and benefits on illegal immigrants. It has ruled that animated cyberspace child pornography is protected speech, but certain broadcast ads aired before elections are illegal; it has held that the Ten Commandments can't be displayed in a public building, but they can be displayed outside a public building; and the court has invented rationales to skirt the Constitution, such as using foreign law to strike down juvenile death penalty statutes in over a dozen states.

For decades conservatives have considered judicial abuse a direct threat to our Constitution and our form of government. The framers didn't create a judicial oligarchy. They created a representative republic. Our opposition to judicial activism runs deep. We've witnessed too many occasions where Republican presidents have nominated the wrong candidates to the court, and we want more assurances this time--some proof. The left, on the other hand, sees the courts as the only way to advance their big-government agenda. They can't win national elections if they're open about their agenda. So, they seek to impose their policies by judicial fiat. It's time to call them on it. And that's what many of us had hoped and expected when the president made his nomination.

Some liberal commentators mistakenly view the passionate debate among conservatives over the Miers nomination as a "crackup" on the right. They are giddy about "splits" in the conservative base of the GOP. They are predicting doom for the rest of the president's term and gloom for Republican electoral chances in 2006. As usual, liberals don't understand conservatives and never will.

The Miers nomination shows the strength of the conservative movement. This is no "crackup." It's a crackdown. We conservatives are unified in our objectives. And we are organized to advance them. The purpose of the Miers debate is to ensure that we are doing the very best we can to move the nation in the right direction. And when all is said and done, we will be even stronger and more focused on our agenda and defeating those who obstruct it, just in time for 2006 and 2008. Lest anyone forget, for several years before the 1980 election, we had knockdown battles within the GOP. The result: Ronald Reagan won two massive landslides.

The real crackup has already occurred--on the left! The Democratic Party has been hijacked by 1960s retreads like Howard Dean; billionaire eccentrics like George Soros; and leftwing computer geeks like Moveon.org. It nominated John Kerry, a notorious Vietnam-era antiwar activist, as its presidential standard-bearer. Its major spokesmen are old extremists like Ted Kennedy and new propagandists like Michael Moore. Its great presidential hope is one of the most divisive figures in U.S. politics, Hillary Clinton. And its favorite son is an impeached, disbarred, held-in-contempt ex-president, Bill Clinton.

The Democratic Party today i

Well, a lot of people supported them in the late 19th century, and their reward was to be ripped off by the Robber Barons and their monopolistic trusts. In the "Roaring twenties," which ended with the Great Depression, they again got what they had coming for buying into the laissez-faire scam. Then in 1980, a bunch of clueless morons elected Ronhole Raygun, because they never bothered to stay awake in history class, and so we now have the fallout from that scam. The FINAL fallout, that is. There was plenty of intermediate fallout, like the S&L scam, the Enron scam, the Worldcom scam, the Tyco scam, the Halliburton scam, the Blackwater scam, and the subprime scam. Not to mention the October Surprise scam and the Iran-Contra scam.

Lady Sorrow


Lady Sorrow is back again
You can't believe she's crept in
Everytime lady comes back
She hits with a harder attack
The only thing to trust
Is your own feeling which may not be just
Choose how to embrace lady sorrow
or she will ruin your life
bringing you pain, misery and strife
Today or tommorow, the decision is yours
If you bottle it up
Remember when it rains it pours
Not a care in the world
Why one earth would you need one

Pale skin
Grey, wavy, messy hair
Her face so full of hope to feed on fear
She's hiding outside your window
you thought she was gone for good
you really should have known better
She's knocking now
But will you let her in
no matter if your rich or poor
you choose to let her in or lock the door
look deep into the dark, murky eyes
and stop feeding her lies
Close your blinds
Free your mind
You don't fear her
You know what she wants you to be
you see the truth and that is not who you are
but no matter what you may always display lady sorrows scar
