She's a free woman. She can donate to whomever she wants.
Right, Regina. However, that very concept is lost on some people who rather try and control her on who to donate money to.
$1 million raised in a Celebrity Apprentice episode is an astonishing, unprecedented feat! Kudos to Marlee Matlin!
Kudos to Marlee.
I am *D*eaf and I don't give a rat shit whomever she wants to donate to.
She's a big lady and she has her own mind. I will support her in any way she chooses.
Only thing makes me wonder who the heck are you to decide the poll. Are you trying to stir up the issue?
Now let's see if the deafhood folks are going to try and condemn her. LOL.
Anony @ 4:04 PM,
It's my blog, I decide what *I* want to write or do a poll.
And who the heck are you to come in here and throw your weight around as an anonymous person?
Holism,
I don't think they'll try that and expose themselves even further. They'll be hypocrites if they even try and do that.
There are a lot of kids that will benefit from that donation. Sure, why not. I applaud Marlee for doing what SHE wants to do.
still kind of holding my breath waiting for Dr. DonG to make a claim for "our" money.
that one still makes me laugh!

anony @ 9:22 PM,
Yeah, well, that was pretty arrogant of him when he said that. I still shake my head to this day when he said that.
It's like dealing with politics of USSR vs. USA! USSR is threaten by Cochlear Implant and hearing aids, American star, Marlee Matlin, donating over 30,000 hearing aids and nationalities with diversities of languages. A communist leader, Ella, has accused USA and NATO Allies a wave of Neo-eguenics and her quote:
"false divisions" due to Oralism colonization. Colonialism tend to cause divisions within the group they take over by creating elitism, favoritism, etc. for their favor. So, SEE, Cued Speech, etc. are examples of divisions created by the colonialism and then now we "fight" against each other cuz of that, while the colonists get away with jobs, money, control cant prevent....happened the past 140 years....we do do? learn from other minority cultures who managed to decolonize. I learned how important it is to create "cultural spaces" i.e. Deaf space, to work together and create our own agendas with better understanding of our history, oppression, etc. and prioritize our political actions. That can help healing from colonialism. Not easy, but possible. Reframing is important too. Sorry space here and English not help but we continue this
I call that kind of "diversity" -- FALSE DIVISIONS...., we need to understand "diversity" when it's NATURAL...
I say "we celebrate natural diversity not false divisions". Glad you pointed that out. Not easy thing to realize, recognize, accept. But we need to keep pushing at that.

col. Carl Schoofer, has setup Cuba to Nuke USA and has intention to take over countries all over the world with one language, one government for all.
NATO and CIA has delivered a terrorist alert to President Sewell that Carl Schoofer and Ella intentionally set out a micro attacks to several American citizen. Ridor invented a hackable software to spy innocent deaf computer users. Ella #2 gal so called Karma is a Bitch is a American Citizen working for public service using their database from DVTV and DR. KBG Deafjeff is using Mr. Lane in the biggest state of USA as a sniper to kill each of well know American Citizen. Pdurr exchanged $500 million dollars drug trafficking to build a weapon of mass destruction to some of the cities and defense base. Barbdigi left USSR for political asylum and she's fearful of her life being threaten by Ella.
ASLRoars is the world hero as a political asylum because he was a top USSR military official and working relationship with KBG Jeff and Lane.
President Sewell denounced their Nazi salutes and freedom thinkers will prevail for once and all.
WRAP UP- If President Obama uses Ella's vocabulary in his sentence, you be the judge. Hence, isn't she related to someone back in 1939?
anony 11:35 PM,
You're jumping all over the place and not making a whole lotta sense. Come back when you've regained a bit of coherency.
anonymous who went after the Holism and personally attacked him is against the rules here.
(see http://kokonutpundits.blogspot.com/2010/10/rules-for-commenting-in-my-blog-whiners.html)
Your comment will not show up here. If you are going to do that then be a man or a "man" (figuratively so if you're a woman) and don't do that anonymously in here. No one wants a coward.
I don't support charities so..... hearing aids are free here via our NHS. Supplying hearing aids is one thing maintaining them another in 3rd world countries. I'd rather see awareness and education prioritised than put money in manufacturers pockets since that is where the money will go. I can't vote at all on it. However Ms Matlin can donate to whoever she wishes, I don't care what she spends her time and money on personally. But then Brits deplore self-publicists, or anyone banging own drums, and most deaf despise charity.... it's about Hard of hearing support that's fine... But why not LOBBY These countries to look after their own ? not create dependency on American cash or others...
Wanna to reply to theHolism,
"Now let's see if the deafhood folks are going to try and condemn her. LOL" - What a sickening thing to say. If you're trying to be funny? Fail. If you're just that nasty a human being, it's a still a fail, too. Pretty evil thing to do, huh?
Sounds like you are trying to say something about Deafhood? Are you trying to set a "stereotype" on this word, Deafhood or what? It is almost like when you are trying to set a stereotype on ALL black people? Ya know, not all of them acts same way. That's we got a black president today...and one day we will maybe have deaf president of USA, lol.
Sounds like you got a personal vengeance against only few of people who just happened to believes or supports Deafhood? That's all?? That's why others are afraid to be part of Deafhood, otherwise you will call them out, too. Pretty sick man.
You know what? Like it or not.. DVTV, DeafCube, other deaf websites are definitely considered as deafhood, ALL of them (members at DVTV) including you, man. Anyone who joins DVTV, automatically is part of Deafhood because they uses ASL and shows/displays deaf culture thru VLOGS/BLOGS.
If you don't want to be part of this, then STFU and move on! Let others embrace their deafhood journey in a group or individually.
Don't ever paint this word 'DEAFHOOD' as stereotype, Mr. Sewell.
Armand got a good point right there in DVTV, he da man! He explained pretty clear about Deafhood and yet, you still want to paint this word as a whole stereotype thing because few of them dont like you or you don't like few of them..this is pretty stupid and immature. Sounds like you're a racist or something..thats all. This is getting old, man.
Adrean Clark's video is featured in the Deafhood Foundation website, titled, "Whip My Hands - ASL 'Music' Video".
Deafhood Foundation leader Ella Mae Lentz March 8 quote on Youtube:"Marlee HAS changed as she became older yes, no question but she as a public Deaf figure must take responsibility for her decisions and influence. I saw how rude she was to Adrean Clark on Twitter & hasn't apologized."ASLElla 3 weeks ago
Marlee Matlin's (Feb. 3) Twitter message to Adrean Clark: "You're barking up the wrong tree. No one tells me what to do, let alone what charity I wish to support. Sorry."
Last year, Saturday June 5, 2010, former Deafhood Foundation VIP and current Deafhood Discourses vlogger Dr. Don Grushkins left a comment in this blog about Monopoly money being donated to the "Deafhood? No, thanks" Facebook group: "I think it's sad someone is donating such a large sum of money to a group..."
see any patterns Anonymous @ 9:56AM?
you are BARKING UP THE WRONG TREE! you need to bark at your deafhoodized leaders who are creating stereotypes of themselves through their actions.
Good for her as a *d*eaf individual.
