AFA Ought to Do the Images Awards Like GLADD and NACP

The Audism Free Audism (AFA) ought to do the annual "images" awards like the Gay and Lebasian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) - http://www.glaad.org/ and National Association of Colored People (NACP) - http://http://www.naacpimageawards.net/ in timely manner to boost the reputation and visibility of this newly-formed grassroot activism organization of the deaf promoting the real and definite images of deaf people without being dragged in pathological attitudes.

The National Association of Colored People (NACP) already done its 40th years of giving the images awards to the Hollywood filmaking and television and music industry for the decent and impressive and realistic portrayals of black people in general.

Same thing with the Gay, Lebasian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) for its very recent 20th years of giving awards to the very same creative community at large for delivering the realistic and fair images of the sexual minority on the silver screens, TV sets and human ears.

The Audistic Free America (AFA) could boost its financial bottom-line in raking the real money, financial donations from hosting the very first Deaf Image Definition awards to the creative community outside the Deaf America. The AFA could affront the Alexander Graham Bell Association of the Deaf in the image-making outreach efforts and diminish the AGBell's dominance over the medical industry and the general public.

The GLADD recently got $300,000 Strategic Software grant from the Microsoft. Inc. The NACP surely received millions and millions from other generous financial donors in fighting for the rational images of African Americans before the eyes of the Americans and the rest of the world.

The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) should done the "images" awards pretty long time ago to increase the familiarity and visibility of deaf people in non-pathological manner. It didn't!

The creative community at large, always love of receiving awards to acknowledge the public appreciation of their hard works and dedications to make the real difference in people's lives.
