A few days ago I asked the question to readers who are deaf or hard of hearing whether if they were interested on learning more about the upcoming 2008 Election. Of those who voted, some 93% (42 out of 45 votes) said "Yes" that they were interested on learning more about the upcoming 2008 Election. The large percentage result could be indicative of what people want to see and the desire to be more informed at the same time before election comes around. So, that got me thinking.
My next poll question is a bit more explicit and it really boils down to helping keep the community well informed, especially through vloggers, about the upcoming 2008 Election. But should the Deaf community be penalized for not knowing if there are some vloggers out there who may have something important to say about the upcoming 2008 election or the candidates? Even if it means a non-deaf related vlog commentary or important information about the election or candidates? How can we ensure the free flow of important information to the Deaf/deaf community be maintained? Exactly what are the responsibilities here when it comes to helping keep the community well informed of our upcoming election that only comes around once every four years?
You decide.
