Today is Election Day. Kerry or Bush? According to deafRepublicans.com: (Thanks, Justin!)
Some people told me that Bush said, "Deaf people should get job". Well, According to myself, I have been struggling to find job for eight months that time I was unemployed; and sixteen months for no job or internship since I am finished at RIT in May 2003. I had been interview six times and all of them were failed to get job, because of deaf issues with communication (American Sign Language is primary language and English is secondary.) Discrimination. Against EOE.
If the closed TV captioned cut, then how can we understand from watching TV without closed captioned? Sorenson VRS interpreting service might freeze or reduce VRS service. The students of deaf in colleges will shrink if VR cuts the financial.
Ahem. I see Bush never had their deaf relatives in past family generations. Also, George W. Bush and King Jordan often jog together on the Gallaudet track and they are laughing each other.
Now, are you ready for Election Day eh?
UPDATE 8:24pm: I recieved few comments who fired back about false statements in deafrepublicans.com. I must admit to tell you, that I made a mistake because I haven't read a whole article about this in their site. However, the story is mixed up in my mind, because I am not really into politician. I do like to watch who wins the president candidate.
He has tried to cut financial aid for:
- Closed TV captioning
- Sorenson VRS interpreting service
- State schools for the deaf
- Vocational rehabilitation services for the deaf
