A Blogger gets Blogged in Blogosphere.

Came across this nice blogger site and his name is Tucker Eskew. I have heard of him before but now he has a blog site. Nice! Be sure to bookmark his site. And no, he's not deaf but a professional hearing pundit. He's a “senior advisor” to the President’s re-election and former White House aide. And he recently gave an interview on Fox news, and if you're a political junkie, like me, you should find Eskew's site informative and entertaining. It's good see these types of people getting into the blogosphere for the first time, like me, who have no qualms in making themselves publicly known for the work they do.

I am hoping he'll see my blog site as I make myself known to him and point him to the soon-to-be-unveiled (tomorrow) deaf and hearing Republican website called www.deafrepublicans.com. This website is the culmination to get the grassroots organization formed to foster the principles and values of the Republican Party within the deaf and hard of hearing community. Tucker! Eskew! Can you swing by here for a sec? You'll be glad you did. It's not everyday that you see an officially unveiling of a national Deaf Republicans website a week before the election.

This Deaf Republicans website is to represent all deaf and hard of hearing people who support President Bush' re-election and/or are Republicans. This is a premier website run by professional people (hydrologist, forest fire fighter, graphic designer, entertainment industry professional, international traveler, and so on who are either deaf or hard of hearing). This website is not your namby-pamby fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants run by a couple of snot-nosed kids who are attempting to make some grabs in the political spotlight. No. It is more than that. This is a website and grassroots organization run by professional adults that are laying the groundwork now and for the next four years in preparation for the 2008 election (Franks? McCain? Anybody else?) as well as informing the public along the way regarding disability issues, politics and support for the growing deaf and hard of hearing Republicans.

Tucker, if you do not know why we are pushing this website it is because it's time! Also, we want to make known to the people in the Kerry/Edwards campaign whose deaf and hard of hearing group they endorsed by which this group in turn endorsed the Kerry/Edwards ticket. There is nothing more repugnant than to see the Kerry/Edwards website splash a headline in their website announcement and make a grab on behalf of the 28 million people who are deaf and hard of hearing with this blatant lie:

Deaf and Hard of Hearing Americans Endorse Kerry-Edwards Ticket


What a bunch of hooey and typical for Kerry to make this audacious claim. I, as a hard of hearing person, do not endorse the Kerry-Edwards ticket. And they do not speak for me and for the rest of the millions of deaf and hard of hearing Republicans, Bush supporters and Independent thinkers. It's nigh time to get this Deaf Republicans political grassroots going and see the chutzpah for what we are.
