Regarding AB 2072

Dear (Senator’s Name),

Thank you for taking the time to read this letter and consider the historic opportunity for parents to play a role in charting the life journeys of their deaf babies.

This historic opportunity is known as Assembly Bill 2072 by Assemblymember Tony Mendoza that changes the way deaf babies are handled once they’re determined through the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs.

As civilization evolves and advances, the communities within advances as well. Not all communities are willing to advance with civilization. The sign language based deaf community is one of them. They may seem to advance with technology, but they remain in a medieval state of mind that still believe in staying dependent on taxpayers and living in a closed society.

The costs of maintaining a dependency based deaf community is enormous. Theresa Bugler wrote in the lifestyles magazine that it costs $800,000 to teach a deaf child sign language. The costs go beyond the $800,000 when taxpayers has to pay for their interpreters in their schools, pay for their videophones in their homes, and finally pay for their living expenses for the rest of their lives because they usually end up not working. Modern Deaf Communication has determined that deaf people who routinely use videophones have a lower job occurrence in the deaf society.

Given these times when California is strained financially, it pays more to create a new deaf community that does not end up as dependants on society as we’ve seen they have become and does not end up as a drain on the taxpayers.

It pays more to give the parents the options on how their deaf babies are to be raised. Lets return the deaf babies back to the soft warm loving arms of their parents instead shipping them off to the hard cold crab claws of a closed deaf society.

It has been proven many times over through deaf video blogging websites such as deafvideo.tv, justdeaf.com, aslrocks.net, jdeaf.com, deafcube.com, and also seen in facebook.com, tokbox.com, and many other video sharing websites that the closed deaf society do not care about their members. There is never ending infighting over picky issues, misconceptions, and misunderstandings. Speaking of which, a well known deaf entrepreneur recently recruited a deaf college professor to preach hatred under the misunderstood guise of combating hate crimes against deaf people. Many deaf members oftentimes have to go through painstaking gauntlets of litmus testing because most members of the dependent deaf society seek “the purity within” by weeding out those that are determined not deaf enough physically and literally. Should we as a responsible society be sending the deaf babies out this way? NO!

Do parents need to sacrifice their deaf babies to the dependent deaf society as it is? NO! Parents need to have a strong say on how their deaf babies are to be raised and lets give them that opportunity by supporting and passing AB 2072.

Lets return the deaf babies back to the soft warm loving arms of their parents.

Signed
