Jason Lamberton and his blogs

Seems like Jason is one happy fella. Just when a person thinks he's the only Deaf republicans around, out comes others through the political woodwork many more Deaf, deaf and hard of hearing republicans. We're the invisible and unheard of new political breed. We're beginning to make some noises and soon, deaf and hard of hearing democrats will certainly cringe at this new political force seeking truth whereever it may be. Leap tall buildings... faster than a speeding....er...never mind.



Other news, I recently, just got a word from the owner of DeafRepublicans that a fellow Deaf/deaf/hh republican from California not too far from where owner works found out about the DeafRepublicans organization through the Blogs for Bush website in the October 26, 2004 blog section under "Bush Photos." Kokonut Pundits was mentioned and B4B placed a link to my blog section covering the President Bush rally in Alamogordo, NM that Sunday. Apparently he saw the photo of me holding up the www.deafrepublicans.com sign while President Bush spoke at the podium. I wonder who the guy is from Kalifornia....I mean California? I'll find out more later.




You might be asking right now, what are the philosophy and goal for the DeafRepublicans organization and reason for its existence? Read below...


Deaf Republicans is a grassroots organization formed to foster the principles and values of the Republican Party within the deaf and hard of hearing community.

The mission of Deaf Republicans is to build a national grassroots network within the deaf and hard of hearing Americans community through which Republican ideals and beliefs can be articulated and embraced. Deaf Republicans believe that for our issues and concerns to be heard by politicians, the deaf and hard of hearing community must be represented on both sides of the political spectrum. We will seek to develop and nurture relationships between the deaf and hard of hearing community and Republican leaders. Together we will address issues and policy matters of importance to the deaf and hard of hearing community, and resolve them in ways consistent with the pull-yourself-up-from-your-bootstraps Republican ideals that enable members of our community to:

  • achieve their goals on level playing grounds
  • eliminate barriers to opportunities and participation in society
  • accomplish self-determination and self-reliance, attain economic empowerment
  • free themselves from dependence on government services and entitlements

Any questions? Give me buzz.
