    I see that Cher, but you can give your opinion in your reply on the other things. What do you know alot about? Which one of those problems are close to your heart? Tell me what you know about it, and then how you think we might fix it. Will it take money? A lot or maybe a little? I mean...

    If you could change captioning, what would you do to make it better?

    Ya know, there are ways to get some changes in captioning services, maybe. I have thought of a few things, but it would take some colaboration with the Deaf captioning users. Maybe I can list an idea tomorrow when I am more awake. I just got out of school.

    Top Deaf Issue Concerns A Presidential Candidate Needs To Know

    This is a great start to some solutions. But, instead of aruging over one thing, let's bring all of the problems to the table, and then stand back and look at them. Then, we can prioritize 3 or so.... what is up with the relay services? and, there are many others on the list that need to be...

    Calling all mom's

    I have nine kids, and each of them slept with me most of their baby days, and I often woke up with a few of them in my bed way after that. I was divorced then, so it made for more room:) Even now, I love to have them curl up next to me on the coach or the bed and watch a movie until we fall...

    Why do they make Deaf students spend their first three years at college taking no ..

    I totally agree with you and it makes me mad. What is even worse is for Deaf college students to have insufficient education. It is hard enough to compete against hearing applicants for a job, let alone if you don't have high skill levels... Talk about our money getting wasted. I hope if they...

    Hey there. You are right, but I was thinking maybe three top priority issues. If you get there ear for a few minutes, you want to address as much as you can put on the table without overwhelming them with controversies or a bunch of personal opinions. You all need to vote on the most...

    Thanks for the info. I saw a post futher up that suggested TC, and I don't know enough about it to say one way or the other... but now I know more.:) Hey Jillio, off topic question: I forgot what the sign means when you put your thumb in your palm with a fist, like a ten, and twist it...

    Why do they make Deaf students spend their first three years at college taking no ..

    That is what I had said before. It was all about money. The blind school was worth a lot, and the hospital is close to it. Salem hospital and some other developers made some pretty impressive bids. But one of the issues that they used to try to push for the merger was that enrollment is down...

    How cool. Maybe you could post the link and explain to folks what they need to do. Every little bit will help. I asked my state representative about the right way to go about this, and they agreed to go to the presidential candidates personal sites was the best idea. It will be good for...

    Exactly right. That sounds wonderful. Once you get a framework started, you will find yourself dreaming up new ideas all day long. This doesn't have to stop here. The point here is to let the politicians know that you represent votes. Once they get the idea that you are united, they will...

    You are an absolute Godsend Jillio. Forgive me for leaning on your expertise so much, but I think you are right about your education being a gift that you are meant to share. Thank you for all you have done and are doing. One note about NAD,, they can't send a million emails to represent...

    Actually, the sooner the better to email and just let them know that you are a voting block with issues. Maybe they will address some of the issues at the debates between the candidates. November will be too late to actually get them to fight over your vote. You need to flood their desks...

    OK, if total communication is better, then go for that. Get all of the information you can about it, and why it is not happening. What is stopping it? Is it funding? Is it somebody or some organization stopping it? What would it take to make the national goal to have total communication...
