Ummm… not so fast

Although I like these new Phonak-Cros aids, I am somewhat disappointed. Keep in mind, there are few brand options when purchasing a bi-cross hearing-aid. So, what’s wrong? Of the 2 aids, there is only volume control on one. All of my past bi-cross aids had volume control on both aids.

The Moment

This is the moment I told Frank it was confirmed Cormac was profoundly deaf. He leaned down and kissed him. He was not with me at the doctor that day. He had used up all his time off while the boys were in the NICU so he had to go to work.

What should Deaf people be concerned about in this election?

Last night, while watching the debates, I began thinking: what’s a Deaf view on this election? And again, as you know, I’m using the broadest possible definition of Deaf....

Dr. MJ Bienvenu Needs To Resign From Gallaudet For Instigating Bully Campaign Against Dr. Angela McCaskill

She needs out ASAP. She started all this with her misinterpretation of Angela's action. The deaf community can not afford any more misinterpretations that turn into oppressive actions against deaf leaders like what transpired recently.



Angela said MJ and her partner started it in the video at the link below.

Gallaudet official wants job back, compensation
McCaskill was suspended after signing petition on same-sex marriage law


And in another news website;

She identified the faculty member as Martina Bienvenu and said that Bienvenu and her partner, Kendra Smith, acted as “extremists” by advocating for the university to unfairly discipline her for signing a petition McCaskill said she had a constitutional right to sign.

New development, it's time to be pressing charges against Martina Bienvenu and her partner, Kendra Smith:

"1. D.C. law provides that it is a crime for any person to “by threat[] or intimidation, interfere[] with, or attempts to interfere with, the right of any qualified registered elector to sign or not to sign any initiative, referendum, or recall petition, or to vote for or against, or to abstain from voting on any initiative, referendum, or recall measure."

Angela McCaskill signed the petition on a Sunday at church. Not while on duty on Gallaudet campus.

When confronted by the faculty member, Dr. McCaskill confirmed that she had in fact signed the petition and explained that she had done so while at church, after her preacher had preached against gay marriage. As she was leaving, her husband pointed to the petition and she signed it without giving it further thought.



Dr. MJ Bienvenu started it all and she has to atone for the misdeed that followed her poor judgment.

Added McCaskill, “MJ, Dr. Bienvenu and her partner, Kendra Smith, wrote a letter to the president of the university asking that I be reprimanded.”
