Since we don’t have a political deaf organization, we are called People with Disabilities.
There may be only ONE way to be part of the Political World is to have a Deaf Political Organization that has a largest membership and money. Without it, there is no new political definition for Deaf Community.
We must find a new leader or Deaf organization that is willing to create a new bank account for one presidential candidate. YES, LET OUR VOICES BE HEARD. YES, WE CAN CHANGE.

The United States Supreme Court has ruled that Corporations can now defend themselves against ruthless politicians who are bent on their destruction, and this is only fare. Why would you restrict a corporation from defending itself in the public arena, in the political arena? Would you also say that a corporation cannot defend itself in a court of law? Would you have corporations stripped of every right that an individual has? Just how far would you go in making corporations defenseless against those who seek their destruction?
And what about Unions, should they be denied the right of free speech too? Should they not be able to present to the public their position on election issues? Just how much do you want to restrict public discourse during an election, just how much information do you want to hold back from the voter?
The best thing about this ruling is that it will lift that ridiculous ban on groups like the NRA from presenting issue ads within 60 days of an election. This in itself is cause for celebration. We will now be able to hear the other side of the gun issue right up until the election takes place, which is when we need to hear it, not 60 days prior when no one is listening.
Some say that this ruling will take the power away from the people, but I say that it will do just the opposite. During these last few elections my voice on gun control has not been heard because the organization that I belong to, the NRA, was muzzled by the federal government from presenting issue ads, but no more. I will now have my voice heard through the NRA. This is what we call freedom, the freedom to present to the intelligent electorate all of the facts so that they can make an informed decision when they vote. The key phrase here is “intelligent electorate”, the liberals do not believe that we are intelligent.
There are of course some issues about this ruling that will have to be dealt with by congress though legislation such as the ability of foreign corporations to spend money in our elections, and other issues that will arise in the future, but that is normal, it is part of the process, the world will not come to an end. There is no reason for anyone to demonize the Supreme Court for this ruling, like President Obama did when he said that this ruling “strikes at our democracy”, and that the ruling is “devastating to the public interest”, and that his administration will need to “repair the damage” done by the Supreme Court.
Does Obama really think that the five Justices who were in favor of this ruling want to damage our country, damage our Republic? Is he insane? Some might argue that saying such a thing is like the pot calling the kettle black, meaning that some believe that it is Obama who is out to destroy this country, not the Supreme Court, and in fact I would ague that the Supreme Court is the one thing that will stand in his way.
I will now end by quoting myself from my home page (my channel):
“President Bush’s greatest legacy will be his appointments of Alito and Roberts to the Supreme Court; they have, and will continue to fight for our freedom.”

High court shows it might be willing to act boldly
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. and his conservative colleagues overturned two of the court’s past decisions to upend federal legislation that says corporations may not use their profits to support or oppose candidates and to declare unconstitutional a large portion of the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reform act passed in 2002.
The dissent was written by Stevens, he wrote of his conservative colleagues’ “agenda” and said they had transformed a simple case about whether a conservative group’s movie about Hillary Rodham Clinton violated McCain-Feingold into a constitutional quandary. “Essentially, five justices were unhappy with the limited nature of the case before us, so they changed the case to give themselves an opportunity to change the law.”
But Roberts bristled at Stevens’s charge that the majority’s opinion showed it was not “serious about judicial restraint.”
“This approach is based on a false premise: that our practice of avoiding unnecessary (and unnecessarily broad) constitutional holdings somehow trumps our obligation faithfully to interpret the law,” Roberts wrote. “It should go without saying, however, that we cannot embrace a narrow ground of decision simply because it is narrow; it must also be right.”
Roberts seemed to be speaking to liberals when he wrote that stare decisis cannot be seen as an “inexorable command.”
“If it were, segregation would be legal, minimum wage laws would be unconstitutional and the government could wiretap ordinary criminal suspects without first obtaining warrants,” he said, referring to previous court decisions.

This is footage of a small group of ACORN activists getting chewed away from the 9/12 DC rally at the Capitol. Apparently someone in the organization decided it’d be ironic to sell “Don’t Tread On Me” flags to protesters with proceeds going to ACORN. The plan didn’t work out so well as one of the protesters, Tim Jones, overheard the police telling the ACORN folk to leave the rally. After circling a bit, the activists tried to continue their flag marketing, but Mr. Jones would not have it. He followed them announcing to the crowd that they were
ACORN provocateurs. Consequently, Tim was hit in the face, shoved and even his wife was rustled up a bit. But his efforts paid off as the Capitol Police eventually intervened and showed ACORN the way out.
This guy is a true patriot!

UK to Send More Troops to Afghanistan
LONDON — British Prime Minister Gordon Brown is sending 500 more British troops to Afghanistan, deepening the U.K.’s commitment to the unpopular war.
Mr. Brown announced in the House of Commons on Wednesday that the increase depends on a number of conditions, including a North Atlantic Treaty Organization strategy for the training of Afghan civil and military personnel, proper equipment, and a new Afghan government being in place.
The planned deployment is a rare bit of good news for the White House, which has struggled to persuade European countries to send more troops to Afghanistan.
Britain has 9,000 troops in Afghanistan, the second-largest force after the U.S. Mr. Brown’s said the total would be raised to 9,500.
Earlier in the Commons, Mr. Brown read out the names of 37 British soldiers killed in Afghanistan since Parliament recessed on July 21.
The British troop increase comes as the Obama administration weighs an urgent request from the top American commander in Kabul, Gen. Stanley McChrystal, for tens of thousands of new U.S. soldiers and Marines.
Mr. Obama is to gather his war council Wednesday for a session devoted to a continuing dissection of the pessimistic assessment of the war that Gen. McChrystal sent to Washington in August in advance of his recent troop request.
White House officials said the review will last at least into next week, which means final decisions on what strategy to employ in Afghanistan may not come before next month.

This is right out of the book of saul alinsky rules for radicals, which Barak Hussien Obama used as his manual while learning the techniques of “community organization” in the inner cities of Chicago. Hillary Clinton also did her thesis on this book while in college. The cloward piven strategy goes one step futher in detailing how to overburden the system with entitlement programs to bring it to a point of collapse to bring in a new system of Government control. What is happening in our country is more akin to a global take over of countries by a world government and banking system… which I believe to be the end time government spoken of in the Book of Revelation.
