DeafRepublicans gain national attention!

from jasonlamberton.com:

Thanks to Mike McConnell's KokonutPundits blog, we know that America IS aware that the d-Deaf and hard of hearing population is beginning to flex its muscles! We are not the typical "handicapped" group of people who John Edwards can come up and pat on the head. We are a typical, normal American minority group with a diverse set of political, social and academic needs. It is about time that the silent is being heard.

The beautiful thing about this is the fact that for years and years, the Democrats have had a strangehold on the silent people. We were never heard. You would never hear any news about the deaf, unless they were murdered by another Deaf person on the Gallaudet campus.

It requires at least a duality to really make progress- one building on the other. With the emergence of DeafRepublicans, the deaf finally got that much-needed catalyst, the cathode for the anode, if you will, to energize the people as a whole and be HEARD!

Mike is collecting the various articles that appeared on the Internet ever since our emergence:
