Deaf Republicans in Uproar Over Kerry 'Endorsement'
US Newswire ^ | 10/28/2004 | Deaf Republicans

Posted on 10/29/2004 3:35:45 PM PDT by mcconnell

LOS ANGELES, Oct. 27 /U.S. Newswire/ -- DeafRepublicans (www.DeafRepublicans.com), a national grassroots organization comprised of deaf and hard of hearing Republicans issued a statement today in response to a press release issued by the Kerry Edwards campaign on behalf of a group which purports to speak for the entire deaf and hard of hearing population in the U.S.

DeafRepublicans today repudiated recent statements by Gregory Hlibok, Co-Chair of the National Deaf and Hard of Hearing Americans for Kerry-Edwards Steering Committee, in which Hlibok claims his group "speaks to the confidence and commitment of America's 27 million Americans with hearing loss have (sic) in John Kerry." DeafRepublicans strenuously objects to this fictitious declaration of endorsement, and disputes their claim that John Kerry has a "proven record" on disabilities.

Kerry/Edwards are so desperate, they're claiming 27 million deaf and hard of hearing Americans endorse the two. Even a nationally recognized organization, DeafRepublicans, would not be that stupid to make such a spurious claim!

What's next? Wheelchairs of America?

"Kerry has a "proven record" on disabilities."

Kerry has a proven record on nothing. Well, okay he has a proven record of marrying rich women.

There is a hand sign, probably not approved as American Sign Language, that clearly is intended for Kerry.

Well, you fooled me. That web-site is pretty good, actually; I suggest others take a look. As a deaf person, no one but myself speaks for me, especially someone presuming to. Bush 55%, Kerry 44%, Nadir 1%.
