If there's bigger number of complaints, then we can keep it coming to make it happen quickly. Brad, thanks for the input! :) Now, I am wondering on how many complaints who sent a letter to the Congressman.

Rick Boucher to move the HR Bill 3101! @ 202-225-3861 or fax him at 202-225-0442 also write/call your Congressmen! It only takes a minute to at least call him which is not hard to do. The more people contacting him the better chance we could get. I've already contacted him and I encourage everybody to call and help unblock the bill. Thanks! Please call Rep.

Hope this article will get their heads turned. Is there such technology that can automatically translate language from voice to text? I remember hearing about RIT/NTID doing something like that... sort of an effort to substitute note takers to support deaf/hard of hearing students. That would definitely be a worthy investment. Anyway, 30 million deaf/hard of hearing people in the US? Suddenly, I don't see us as a minority group and be ignored. Just retweeted your article through twitter.

I thought it was strange when I added the app to the iPhone and it was all videos with no captions. Good article, Mr. Porche! Yep, I agree with you!
