Why Still Enemy?????


Thank you Note for NAD President, Bobbie Scoggins for forwarding my email to NAD Law Advocacy! Hope that NAD will be more PROACTIVE working together with other some National Deaf Organizations to have more support the ASL Education by improving far more better future Deaf Children Education as soon as possible... We need to have more peaceful (not enemy) in our future Deaf community. I understand that the Deafness Research Foundation took advantage of 11 or 10 organizations by helping to get the US Goverment to work out the US Laws with the Federal Health Care Insurance to have CI and Oral education only to be COVERAGE but NOT ASL Education. We need to have ASL education to be covered by the Federal Health Care Insurance to prevent the early language delayed and problems for some Deaf children who can be can be more benefit from bilingual development education with more RESPECT. We need all RESPECT each other in our future Deaf children education and future Deaf community WITHOUT being ENEMY, ATTACKING and BACKSTABBING on each other for so many years!

Some SJIAA preferred labeled themselves as "Left Student" (not as "mainstream student"). Some did made good point that they feel "Left Behind Student" from Deaf Oral Catholic School, SJI and went to mainstream public school with no interpreter, no closed captioned and no CART provide before the 1990's ADA law passed from this link: http://www.dol.gov/esa/regs/statutes/ofccp/ada.htm

Few SJIAA Left Students did informed me that they did transferred to Missouri School for the Deaf and that does not means they are "mainstream student"... They got good points! Just want to clarify to SJIAA officers... Thanks to some SJIAA Left Students for making me work too hard since they do not want to have some SJIAA blame on them for wanting to be label themsevles as "Left Students" not as "Mainstream Students" ... .






My Deaf son and his CI friend gone fishing with my hearing co worker, ITP student. We have some friends with Deaf CI. We do not blame them but they did learned so well from ASL Education. ASL education did helped some of CI Deaf children improve their speech and language better than only in orally deaf education.



Why still does the Oral Deaf education still teach some of CI children how to be enemy from other CI children who do have language and speech problems???? We need to have more peaceful Deaf education and Deaf community for our future. Have a very good day! I will not be able to have more time to read comment because Im busy full time working overtime mom.

Why No CC on my vlog & AGBAD supports Hillary's NO CC?



I respectfully disagreed with AGBAD's member, Richard Roehm "The Deafie Orange Blog" because Richard Roehm wants to make other hearing people to look down on some of us who grew up from Deaf Oral education with no good english grammars subtitled on some of our vlogs. Seems Roehm wants other people to LOOK DOWN on some of us??? I do NOT make money from my vlog and subtitle!

I want to thank Deaf Political Junkie's blog called "Why This Deaf Woman Supports Obama" somewhere on the way down below Deafread. AGBAD seems bribed Hillary Clinton not to have closed captioned from her website!!!???? Of course, AGBAD donated a lot of money to support Hillary Clinton for no closed captioned on her own website!

About State Commission for the Deaf from this link: http://www.idhhc.state.il.us/stateLocal/State_Commissions.html Wonder if there is America or US Commission for the Deaf/HH in Washington DC for us all Federal Taxpayers?? We need to catch up the legislations from the US Capital Hill closely... Just give my thoughts.


St. Louis weather advisory until 6 am on Tuesday (tmw). Today: Scattered flurries and snow showers. Some sleet may mix in. High 23F. Winds ESE at 10 to 15 mph. Chance of snow 50%. Snowfall around one inch.

Trust AgBAD's Lobbists at the US Capitol Hill???

Hello Everyone!

First thanks to Jay's vlog called "Take a Peek (look) at AgBAD's Tax Returns" on somewhere on DeafRead...

We, the Deaf taxpayers and Registered Voters should know that AgBAD do have their own lobbists to pull the US Goverment (US Senators and US Congressmen and US Congresswomen) in the US Capitol Hill to pull more attention by AgBAD's $232,505.00 expenses by oppressing us, the Deaf that we are "Hearing Impaired"!!!!!!! Does that means that AgBAD do have rights to tell the US Senators and US Congressmen and US Congresswomen that we are not Deaf but we are "Hearing Impaired"????? Get lost, AgBAD !!! Volta building is located in DC area (close to the US Capitol Hill or White House)???? AgBAD is wasting our Deaf Taxpayers!!!!


You can find on page 25 for your own eyes with real proof from this link: http://www.guidestar.org/FinDocuments/2005/530/196/2005-530196644-02b8e353-9.pdf

"Visitors" Artwork (for Hearing Parents & Professionals Better Understand) at any Deaf Oral Schools????



This video of my artwork (very simple to understand without using subtitles) be helpful????

Education for all Parents of Deaf children need to understand why we HATE VISITORS!Wondering if that "Visitors" artwork will be more helpful for some (not all) "Depressing or mixed emotional" CODAs to understand from their Deaf parents who were educated from Oral Deaf Education?

I feel that any Deaf Artists need to make more creative more better in "Visitors" than my artwork because I have not painting since Sept. 2003!!! YIKES!!! I have not been working on my old hobby for so long time. My artwork about "Visitors" at Orally Saint Joseph Institute for the Deaf was made in Sept 2003 may not be good enuff education??

Would that kind of "Visitors" artwork be more helpful for all hearing parents and professionals to understand why the teachers and staff are treating us, God's lovely Deaf children like animals? How come I do NOT EARN money from the "Visitors" to help my Middle Class War parents to save their money by enrolling very expensive Oral Deaf Catholic School while that school do NOT PROVIDE Bilingual or English As 2nd Language! Enuff said!

Need More Empower Deaf Marketing on Superbowl Ads????



Hmmmm, interesting that Deaf Old Guard seems doesn’t have good sense of humor!!!!??? How VERY sad!!!!????

Hey Deaf Old Guard???? Got another job for you!!!! Maybe you need to understand that every year, Super Bowl ads always show humor and funny with hearing actors/actresses in it. Not that serious, just jokes…same with deaf actors in new Super Bowl ad. Just once for Super Bowl tv…not everyday. Got it, Deaf Old Guard? Maybe the Deaf Old Guard need to take sense of humor medicine???? Why can't the Deaf Old Guard need focus to help T-Mobile Company or other Pager so we, the Deaf will enjoy more Deaf actors in thier own Pagers ads to help more EMPOWER the Deaf Marketings!!!??? Just throw my 2 cents thoughts!!!!

Sincerely yours, A Deaf Water Fan

Hello Tar! Thank you so much for your wonderful educating me with subtitling. I enjoyed experiement after I downloaded to save my first part of video then have that first video part to be made in Double Up Speed from my Windows Movie Maker. It works well with my other part of my 2nd video to research on my way to the French Revolutionary War. Just wondering how Deaf people survived in French Revolutionary War. Gotta go grab my sleeping hours before go work.

Who "ATTACK" FIRST in History ???? Hearing or Deaf ????



Don't know if the Deaf Piano Man, an understanding person or close mind or what? I was a former "Deaf Oral Militant" since age 3 yrs old! So I decided use that video because I feel that the Oral Deaf Education do NOT really provide equal education for all of us who got frustrated NOT understanding English. Of course, most of the time hearing oral educators were fed up with us when we do not have good english skills while we are Deaf Oral students. They do not respect and do not want to teach us! They, the hearing oral deaf educators prefered to teach few other students who were excelled in English and also they come from higher income family. They do not want to teach some of us because we come from Middle Class "working parents" and poor income family! Let you know that there are a lot of former Oral Deaf students now depended on welfare income because there are still a lot of oppressed on our no good english. Thanks!





Something went wrong with the Nazi in RNId statement while we the Deaf people do still have problems NOT understanding English about removing Deaf genes!

So I got info for the USA Deaf/HH Registered Voters about one hearing "Religious" candidate who wants to keep it legal to kill deaf people in the womb from this video tube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ze62cyx01Ik
