258 News : ASL/MTV Political Song! MUST SEE!
Last night, I posted the blog called: ACTION ALERT from NAD about proposed changes to ADA!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION: Please visit NAD’s blogsite: blogs.nad.org/advocacy to learn about ADA Amendments Act of 2008, and submit your comments AT Department of Justice’s official website, *NOT* on the NAD’s blogsite’s comments area.
Direct Links to DOJ’s websites:
Direct Link to DOJ website about Rules for Business
Direct Link to DOJ website for Equal Access to Community ServicesDOJ wants your comments on DOJ’s official website. DOJ wants to hear from you directly.
Then two hours later, the newest and most CREATIVE blog/vlogsite called “258 News: VERY INTERESTING” incredibly talented co-anchors, co-producers and head writers: Anne Tomasetti and Alexandria Wailes, along with fabulous crew made the FIRST DEBUT on DEAFREAD.COM on Friday, August 15, 2008

Personally, I rarely get impressed with new stuff online, UNTIL at this time, this “258 News: VERY INTERESTING” blog made a first debut last night. I watched at the beginning and chuckled quietly with their satire, until I was BLOWN AWAY with Anne Tomasetti’s rock song auction.
This song done by Tomasetti came with a PERFECT timing for getting our attention to two very important legislative issues that are happening right now:
ADA Amendments Act of 2008 and Digital TV Closed Captioning problems.
Here are the visual images of Tomasetti’s rock song auction song called, “Hey FCC, I want my CC!”
PLEASE VISIT 258:NEWS VERY INTERESTING HERE to watch the ASL/MTV inspired song - you need to slide the cursor to 9:07, and be prepared to be BLOWN AWAY!
Kudos to Tomasetti and Wailes for their awesome job with their newest blog/vlogsite! Keep up with your fantastic work! YOU ROCK!
Best,
Amy Cohen Efron

Thank you so much, Amy, for urging the audience to submitting their comments to the DOJ’s website instead of the NAD’s blogsite’s comments area. I was pretty worried that people didn’t realize that until it’s too late….

Taurus…
But, of course. you know how Deaf people tends to be reactive, not proactive.
Take the 18-year coma that the little Gallaudet that could–oh it was too late!
But, not literally too. Still, quite an inconvenience for far too many nowadays.
Rest of you people…
I observed Tomasetti and Wailes in action. They have a bit of potential and like many who failed they’re in position to succeed and rest is up to them. Following through after premiere and a few runs is the ultimate challenge. We need more anti-establishment ideals bucking away at the status quo and by that I include among the status quo–even the DBC because it was formed through the DBC and misled many into chaos. We do need the Deaf-ASL version of Reed College.
