Please Sign Petition Deaf/HOH Equal Rights

[kshsj777]

Please sign the following petition. It's to try to get equal rights for deaf/HOH by making it mandatory (at least for major networks) for internet videos to be captioned.

P.S. You can put a note saying that you're not deaf/HOH but know someone who is. (i.e. me :))

P.P.S. There is already a bill in the house right now for this, so I'm not 100% if it's needed to sign this, but oh well, it might help.

P.P.P.S. You'll get an email to confirm your vote, but you will not be bothered by them ever again.

We need to help all peoples in all areas of handicap. This is one of many.

I was married to a deaf man (albeit he could hear when he wore his hearing aids).

No handicap is easy to work around. We need to pray for our congressmen and women and people making our laws. It is up to all of us to keep America equal.
