-- some hearing truckers hate deaf truckers
Truck driving is a growing employment opportunity
for the deaf. Our list of deaf truck drivers
is getting longer and longer. It is disappointing
that there are hearing truck drivers that hate
deaf truck drivers! They feel all truck drivers
must hear. They do not realize that deaf people
can see (and see much better than hearing).

-- State supreme court says one place not a public accommodation
A deaf prisoner in Delaware filed a lawsuit, saying that his
lack of access to TTY is discrimination. He lost because
the Delaware Supreme Court said prisons are not public
accommodation and therefore not considered discrimination.
This is very surprising because other states have been
allowing the deaf to use TTY and video phones.
-- a comment by deaf leader about Deaf Rally
Last week DeafDigest made a comment about Deaf Rally
and the low turnout. A deaf leader told DeafDigest
that the problem with Deaf Rally is too many
demands (jobs, interpreters, captions, etc).
He said - just one demand is enough. Legislators
will be overwhelmed if there are too many
demands thrown at them! Examples of past one
issue rallies are Gallaudet Deaf President Now
Rally and CBS Captions Rally.
