Hey David E

Well signed, very true, with technology we are able to speed up the change and the up rising of our needs and rights. I think vlogs and blogs are starting key that have HUGE domino effects. I agree with you as well. Nice to see you vloggin.....

wink,

Merritt

@ttirremerritt - good to "see" you again! Haven't seen you since Gallaudet, right?

You said it great! Would you, please, explain about CLA (suing school districts)? I know nothing about it. It's hard for me to be like a Gandi regarding CI doctors and CEOs who get away free for murders and murder attempts (gambling with babies' lives). As there is no shown statistic, I don't know how many have been killed, but I know there were babies killed. FDA or FCC approves it, so it also committed crime. If you disagree, I'd like to listen to your POV. Thanks. You rocks!

@Salticid68 Hi I expanded on CLA in my previous vlog, "The Real Truth Behind AB 2072". I also cited AGB's CLA program there. Go check it out-- it will send chills up your bones.

I know it can be hard to remain like Gandhi-- but we must. We are not like them- liars, embezzlers, thiefs, etc.

[Salticid68]

@deberwein I see. Thanks to you, I now know about CLA. I guess those public schools chose bad defense lawyers. I appreciate.

[deberwein]

@Salticid68 I don't think the school district chose bad lawyers-- they are very, very limited with funds, and usually they have to with a limited range of choices (for lawyer)-- whereas AG Bell's CLA can simply rain dollars on the lawsuit, and hire slick lawyers, etc. That's why we have to go for the BIG win, instead of getting bogged down with AG Bell's incremental victories.

Encore! Encore! Love it how you reflect and analyze the past five years! Please consider to vlog more often since it gives us inspiration and a boost to focus on the big prize! We need you!

[OurDeafhood]

@DeafPoet2, No Doubt about it! Ought him to make a vlog little more often.

Could not use Gandhi to strive something in America due the different of culture value... Find another than Gandhi's...? What if Marlee Matlin decided to hungry-strike, will we follow her? I am sure of yes and no,... It will be fun to see Jordan King to do that too! ha...Good Vlog but Gandhi?! Krammmmmmmmm

[DeafPoet2]

@avbria...Agree 110%, we need David to vlog more, he's such an inspiration as you are, too!

[DeafPoet2]

Hi David-beautiful and right to the point vlog with encouragement! Love it! Made me think of quote which I read recently: Courage is contagious. How true! Then I read another blog (incouraged.c), in part it said "It must compel us to action through inspiration, not manipulation." There's nothing manipulative in your vlog or others that I've seen except for a few b/vloggers which we can ignore n not let them intimidate us. We shall stand, arms to arms n march forward with love n compassion! :-)

[Salticid68]

@deberwein Wow, they had limited funds. We should tell them to have bigger funds, so that they'll not lose our taxes for nothing and lose more money in the long run. Maybe we can explain about bilingual education to lawmakers? Would that be helpful??
