You know, not every blind person belongs to a consumer organization. Although I am familiar with Mr. Chong, heck, have socialized with the guy years ago, I'd bet that lots of average blind people have no clue who he is and don't even read the Braille Monitor.
If you are already in that organization, then of course you probably read the magazine every issue. Beyond that, well, I'm not sure. I have been a nonmember of the NFB or the ACB for almost 20 years now. I can count on less then one hand how many times in the mainstream media that I have come across either organization's name or doings. Society is larger then the blindness fish bowl.
