Awesome update, Jay! I am grinning all the way that the rally went very well unlike the Jenny approach experience. The DBC participants have been decent people from the start and that is the way how it should have been.

We need to realize that every rally experience varies and that there may be a Jenny in some future rallies unfortunately. It looks like that having a rally held at a college environment makes a difference since the handlers are accustomed to students being outspoken on certain issues.

Kudos to Jill and John for paving the way! I feel so enlightened about Indiana DBC leadership!

Thank you, Jay for the fast, brief update!

High waves for all!

That's wonderful! Jill and John are such positive people. They couldn't fail. We all learned much from the AGB Protest. It's nice to see folks putting what they learned to work in a positive way.

Thanks for the update!

Kudos to all who went in support to Purdue!

LaRonda,

People who participated at VA AG Bell protest were positive as well. They were friendly and professional. It was the situation that made it negative not meaning that they were not positive at the first place.

Jay, I was thinking about Indiana DBC as I prepared and did my workshop in Seattle, wondering how it went, so I really appreciate this quick update. I look forward to the longer version by the Lestinas. To all of you Indiana folks who took the time to prepare and appear at the rally, a big Thank You for standing up for all Deaf children's right to ASL!

Hello there!

I'm glad things went smoothly and hats off to Jill & John for their endless efforts and positive energy poured into organizing the rally and it reflected their attitudes big time! :D The atmosphere was also great!

I'm glad everyone had a good time! I hope you did? I mean, the bathroom seemed to be "inconvenient"? ;) Guess you got to be prepared for the worst – if smell comes out, and then spray some air freshener…

Seriously, I’m glad to see how successful and smoothly it went!

Great job, everyone – especially Jill & John!

I am looking forward to their vlogs!

Jay,

I am disappointed that I cannot open your VLOG lately. I went to the public library to see if it can open your VLOG. It can open it.
I have to contact the technical specialist to install something software. Can you send me an instruction how to install software in order to open your VLOG.

Thanks,
Sandra Goldstein

Sandra,

My vLog is same as anybody else -- using YouTube. Are you able to see others? Try deafvideo.tv?

I do know almost all videos (google, youtube, etc.) use Flash, so you may need to install Flash Player if you are not able to see any of the videos, mine or others.

Good luck.
