Hi friends!
Welcome to my ASL Vlog! ASL (American Sign Language) is the most beautiful language in the world!
Always Be Cool.................................................................
A Statement That Rings True!
A day when deaf people and their language are completely accepted -- no, more than that, truly welcomed -- as a part of the family of man, in which God created diversity not to oppress the minority who are different, but to enrich the lives of all.
-- Laurent Clerc
ASL Power!
Long Live ASL!

Good point you got there...
Originally I had planned on sending attached post card from Tent City...
I like your suggestion even better. I'll keep TC postcard for better use :)
Cool!
Frame it. It's a symbol of future deaf society moving forward in a small cabal of ASL terrorists.
Hmm, if they mailed 25,000 of those cards, and we return them as you described, they will waste $18,500 just on postage both ways (assuming 37 cents rate) and the printing costs. It could be $25,000 down in the drain, and a hard lesson learned for them... Not bad idea...
Hey T, I did recheck my math this time ;-)
Yeah someone did a really GREAT job on the postcard, I was fascinated with the class pictures, my husband and I were talking about who this and who that for a while. It was a conversation starter. Too bad it did not offer us choices of what we wanted to spend $500 dollar brick on. No way I would spend $500 dollar brick on speech/language, it is an insult to some of us who were raised oralists and struggled with speech/language and wasted so much time in our early years just to learn how to talk and listen. I will be sure to send it back and tell them I will only spend $500 dollars brick on ASL. It does not take a genuis to figure out that many alumni will gladly chip out brick money for ASL. Putting speech and language would have angered all of us, where is their common sense???
You are being logistic on how to react and that's cool!
Although I haven't receive it and don't expect to since I transferred from Gally to RIT, I will still e-mail my thoughts to them finding it a shame not to include ASL in the postcard. Drats, couldn't use their postage expenses!
I like your idea!
I do not know about the USPS (U.S. Post Office) regulation(s) about the returning mail via postcard when come to the bulk mail postage (non profit status).
The USPS probably toss out all returned postcards. If those postcards are embedded with first-class postage without nonprofit status. The USPS have to forward the returning mails.
Most important of all - "DON'T return the postcard anything biohazard like a smear with feces or specks of urine or whatever offensive. Okay?
Just express yourself rationally with the strong message like not supporting the SLCC without ASL or something like that.
Please keep in mind when sending anything legible thru the USPS or federal mailing regulation without writing anything something threatened or profanity.
I do not want to see anyone deaf going thru the legal process (court) to be prosecuted and charged.
Use the RED MARKER - ASL in larger print or something legal. Use your own creativity without appearing threatened.
Paul Kelly and some Gallaudet Development Unit people are funny minds which they would make anything out of the molehill over little thing.
Just keep everything according to the law without compromising yourself legally.
People in general, surely have the right to expression and speech in rational fashion.

I agree- they had no right to emphasize speech or pathological means! They did that because they think they would get more money from hearing people and companies- they forgot that companies are interested in the amount of alumni donations!! So they HAVE to make sure Alumni are pleased with the center- and it doesn't look like we will be any time soon with the naming the center after a hearing man who profits from us using his technology, and the words "Language and Communication" which MEAN the same- where's Cultural? And what happened to the Board of Trustees' promise to not name any more academic buildings after HEARING people? Almost no academic buildings on campus are named after deaf people, imagine.
X to Speech and Pathological
X to Sorenson
X to Communication
Three strikes, you're out,
Paul Kelly!
I threw the postcard away before I saw your suggestion which was great!
