Public Apology to CI Users, But .....

I meant to issue a sincere public apology to the CI users everywhere, but NOT the parents of deaf youngsters to impose their own ideal of what the world should be.

I am really much PLEASED to see more and more deaf people raising their hands and say "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!"

I have no intention of putting down the CI users themselves, who happened to be victimized by their own clueless and ignorant and wishy-washy parents and the cochlear implant (CI) industry from the speech pathologists and surgeons. I apologize sincerely if I lump the CI users unfairly into the bowl with the parents of deaf children whose cochlearized their own deaf child without thinking about the long-term consquences.

You, the CI users are still part of the deaf American community very much. I dearly care about you, CI users. To any of the deaf ############ choose to undergo the CI surgery. I still accept you as a deaf person anyway and treat you with respect.

We must get banded together to form the public education ads to make the future parents of deaf children from COCHLEARIZING their own deaf child and any costly mistakes!

We could do several things like PUBLIC EDUCATION ADS

LOBBYING GROUPS ACROSS THE U.S. TO PERSUADE
STATE AND NATIONAL LEGISLATORS AND EDUCATORS

CONTINTUALLY EXPOSE THE CI INDUSTRY AND PROPONENTS
OF CI SURGERY AND AUDISTIC INTENTIONS


The lobbying form against the CI should have several paid staffers and regular fundings for related expenses.

We must keep treat the CI surgery as a human rights violation against the humanity, not about the cultural and linguistic issue. The general public and the United Nations will be more supportive of our uphill battle against the invasive and questionable method to reverse the human flaws.

Let's work together to mobilize the worthy crusade against the CI industry and the future audistic parents of deaf children!

It's a Time for Real Action, "Huff and Puff"! That will be our important battle since the abolitionist movement against the evils of slavery and women's rights to vote and civil rights movement. America and the rest of world is looking upon us as a rightful thing to do.

Mindless violence and verbal threats will be not accepted in any means. Thanks.
