Support Captioning at the Redskins Field!

G'day Everyone.

While I'm taking a little break from bailout madness, I had a e-mail that needs to be alerted to everyone.
Recently, a judge told that the Redskins Field have to be open captioned for the deaf community. But a strong poll is showing a massive opposition to the ruling. (at the e-mail it was in favor of NO support.). So what is needed to do?
I need my readers in the VA/MD/DC metro area to vote clearly in the Washington Post poll and tell them clearly YES!

Open captioning should be important. DC metro area has a LARGE deaf community. It makes me wonder if the same type of ruling would apply in the NTID Community area? Rochester has a good sized deaf community as well as several sports areas. Should the sports area community have open captioning for the Rochester deaf community? What do you think? I'd like to see your comments.

I'm withholding my comments on last nite's debate, but kind of clear that Obama whipped McCain's butt. Comments will be said later.

And as these wild stock market days, as I've said and will say again : Meet with your financial advisor about your stocks, bonds, and 401ks. If I were you, SELL and get into gold funds, silver funds. This is going to be a TOUGH year.

Semper FI.

No, I strong against captions on any sport arena or stadium. I prefer watch footballs game rather than read caption all the time. I really enjoy the games and read score board. why caption. Give me a break.
I would vote against caption even I am deaf football fan.
