No to Downsizing Closed Caption

Say "No on Downsizing Closed Caption" to the President Bush Administration.

Your help would be greatly appreciate if I can voice out my words against the The Bush Administration for cutting back the closed caption from 200 televised programs. Could you imagine they are planning to do 200? If we let them, then who are we to stand for ourselves of our equal rights of access to watch television programs like any other kids or adults in our everyday life in America? If they succeeded to do the first 200, they will see that we are weak, and they would do another 200 more. I wouldn't be surprise. Please help me with my voice to be yours too. Stand up and fight back and put them all back. All the 200 closed caption televised programs are to be put back. They never checked with our resources. They don't think we're that important as part of good citizens living in this country. I don't think they realize we are not as dumb as they think we are. We need to let our voice be heard with a big 'No!" We all feel that we are no differ than them, then why let them make us feel different? If they can just take away and violate the very rights we have of our own equal accessibility, then what are we? Think about our children, think about other kids who can hear and have the advantage over us for not knowing such as "Scooby Doo", "I Dream of Jeannie", "Laws & Order" and other alike programs. In What sense do they have the rights to say no to us? If we children and adults as a whole body of group across this nation wants to enjoy scary movies during Halloween to experience the same thrill or frights, or what about Christmas programs, we would miss out the chance to enjoy the sense of spirit during Christmas Holiday about knowing and experiencing the spirit of a Christain's beliefs, What about Valentine' s Day programs on television, a sense of romance to experience the excitement with our love ones, what about any other holidays in America that we grew to enjoy and know the difference of each diversity of things in life God gives us choices to experience? We've come to know and to accept many things through the help of having Closed Caption available as our equal access to learn and experience the knowledge within ourselves as our own personal education? What about the programs we never knew to enjoy and experience the same level as everyone else in a room? Think about the times when there was a Live news and there's no Closed caption available to us. It was not fair to us then, and if this happens again it won't be fair all over again for who we are and what we must have for our Rights of equal accessibility. Do we want to allow this to happen again? Do we allow it be too late before we have to fight the extra miles again for our next generation? We could stop this with the Bush Administration. Do we want to be loosing what we've stand up for ourselves? Do we need to keep ourselves at the level of having equal accessibility? let the Bush Administration know that they are hurting us to be of good civilians as everyone else in this country. Should we loose our good faith about what is America for us? This is suppose to be a country of freedom of speech and choices for us to be at the same equality as everyone else in America. Don't let the Bush Administration violate the very heart of our rights as it is the very heart of America! What rights do they have to say no, you cannot know about this and that and we can because we know the difference of whats in between the right and wrong for you is such a bull! We are no differ than them. They think oh, we are the children that they babysits to tell us no and yes of what we can watch. That is a very ridiculous thing to make a bad judgement of us as a whole body of one big important group in America. This is to us a big joke that is no joke at all! Do not believe in a word they say of a reason why for any of the cut backs that needs to be done with Closed Caption. It is the very valuable center of our Rights for Equal Access of having Equal Communicative Level of Opportunity with everyone else in this country. make this a new stand of law for us against them . That is in an abbreviation of a new Bill: R.E.A.E.C.L.O. Why don't you Mr. President Bush do the same to everybody else, but not just to us? If you do it to cut back these programs you have to take out the programs for everyone else who is not Deaf and Hard of Hearing too. If you feel that it is not good influence of educational for us, then it is not good for you and all the other people in America. What you do to us, must be the same as you to do to others. There is no two ways about this. you, Mr, President Bush and your Administration doesn't make any sense at all! You all should resign yourselves from the White House! You all are racist! What are you doing to yourselves on us is a big joke! It is a big joke to all of the Americans at the same time! Remember and mark my words "We are no differ than you!" What's fair is fair. You take something away from us. We take something away from you! Don't be a fool! Don't ever rub us the wrong way like this again! This is really stupid and that's the fact of how we feel about this! I will not back down for my people and I will bring up your people with mine together as a new sun of fury about this! I will fight not alone, but with the truth of us all and undo the plan of downsizing Closed Caption. This voice of mine is not alone. It is the loudest and the longest America will never forget. It is the power to stop this once and for all times! Remember this and remember it well, is not just us, it is also a voice of the late deafened adults and it is also an impact on parents and Children of Deaf Adults as well. I don't think you politicians realize how big a group you are hurting the very purpose of America's Dream of hope to keep America standing strong in all of its diversity of blending all things into one big stronghold, and that is equality! Mr. President this can happen to you or to anybody when it comes to becoming Deaf, you won't feel at home again if you do this to yourself now with this move. Imagine what you are doing is a big joke to us! We are no differ than you! We will bark and you will back down on this! Mr. President, Shame on you for allowing this be of such a plan! Put it all back and do it quick before you loose our faith in good politicians of America! You embarrassed me and your people as well! So undo this nonsense! If you did then we'll give you a big hug of forgiveness! You must win us to win you back! Don't ever let anything like this to think and to treat us like we are just a nothing part of your country! It does make a big difference on the whole! Think about it!
