Will the ASL Be the Next Target?

Republican gubernational candidate, Tim James recently announced that he HATE foreign languages! He ever spoken before the camera, too.

Will the ASL be the next target for being part of the foreign language studies or what?

Or the ASL being NOT recognized as part of human language when any deaf individual request for the ASL interpretation within the Governor's office or ASL interpretation for the driver's license test? Please check out the enclosed statement from Governor James within this attachment.

How come didn't the Governor's Office of Alamaba provide equal access to all Alamabans like captioning Governor's telecast statement?

Don't America realize that we, deaf ASL users are Americans, too?

Some states' Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) require to provide the oral exams for getting the driver's license. What about our right to obtain and acquire the driver's license like everyone else?

Should the Deaf America find the GOP gubernational candidate's statement to be pretty troubling for creating such trends across the country into a nation of intolerance?

ASLize yours,
