NAD Voting System Rigged ?

Video: NAD Voting System Rigged ?



The Election Committee of the National Association of the Deaf voting system fraudulent ??? How does the voting system works during selection of NAD Officers. Questions about how the delegates are supposed to do at NAD Conference. Numerous of Deafies heard about the voting had been rigged.



Electronic voting (also known as e-voting) is a term encompassing several different types of voting, embracing both electronic means of casting a vote and electronic means of counting votes as seen on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_voting A public network DRE voting system is an election system that uses electronic ... Internet voting to elect officers and Board members and for other proxy elections, ... and include software, different methods of election fraud become possible.



The Deaf Community keeps hearing different stories such as favoritism and fixture but a certain if they all are true, however, one source said the voting system can be cheated when the ballots are counted to choose by the NAD staff. It is damaged now and it is disgusted for the Deaf Communties and will fight it in next election of 2014. The thing is it's the special interest groups such as Z|CSDVRS keep NAD positions in their hands for a number of years. Way too long. They should allow others to run NAD for a change. People's rationale about being a delegate but sit is according to the NAD bylaws that change comes through the State Associations. Please watch on iDeafNews video: https://vimeo.com/45343477 before you read this blog and watch vlogs in ASL.





The Election Committee announced official candidates for officer and regional representative positions on the National Association of the Deaf Board of Directors - Find more information at: http://www.nad.org/louisville/official-candidates-board-positions



Terms of "Status Quo" and "Patronizing Deaf Community." What Ridor said just now is exactly the same thing a State Association of the Deaf is doing to the State Deaf Community. It is very sad to know that organization(s) owned by members are SO SO hesistant for positive changes. Instead of making changes we need, the organization(s) puts us back in medieval times.



NAD Delegates Equal Right Votes?


NAD Delegates Equal Right Votes? In which the election committee announced official candidates NAD Presidential elections that Chris Wagner has been selected to serve as the NAD's president in which the Z|CSDVRS's vice president Chris Wagner is operating systems. The many of Deaf Communites finds disburbing and uncomfortable the words 'DEAF MILITANTS' commencement speech ideas from the Z|CSDVRS company, as seen on article: Deaf Militant Is An 'Intergenerative' Hate Speech



Deaf Communites should continue contacting FCC to file complaint and boycotting such services. They have no business of throwing labels to a population they services while receiving federal funds. Also, censoring freedom of speech and social media while implementing their own agendas for NAD Presidential selection. Neutral and non-discriminatory must! Consequences.

CSD has been harboring NAD and weakening its system for over a decade! NAD Voting System - Number one important - first thing - let us all focus to see if NAD will do fix the bylaws - Voting systems need to change asap!

For Those Who Don't Understand What It's Like To Be Deaf

Video: For those who don't understand what it's like to be Deaf in American Sign Language.



For people who don't understand ASL here is a written translation:



Hello my name is Leeza.

Hello my name is Joshua.



Leeza: Joshua and I are from California School for the Deaf in Fremont.



Joshua: We are here to talk about your proposal HB1367 - that proposal talks about moving Outreach out from Indiana School for the Deaf and ISD has to pay for it.



Leeza: I'll share one quotation, "History does not repeat itself", Foraker Act in 1900...



Joshua: Long time ago in 1900 Puerto Rico became a territory of America. The president of United States got to pick their president. How is that become a problem? Puerto Ricans didn't get a president that understood their environment, culture, and rights.



How we are having the same problem with the board that Indiana government choose (All the people in ISD board is not the people we suggested.) - they made the decision that will hurt Indiana School for the Deaf. We, Deaf people, feels like you are not respecting our rights as a Deaf citizen of United States.



Video by Aromauhsoj



Leeza: Now look at ISD's Board, they are proposing to pull Outreach out from Indiana School for the Deaf and put it to someplace else and forcing ISD to pay for it. Outreach is very important for us. It's the place where parents with Deaf children will learn about children's choices - cochlear implant(s), ASL, oral methods, and many more choices. Of course ISD want to play the big part in supporting with their children's future.



We also want to show them how ASL is our big success for Deaf people. Again, we Deaf citizens feels like we don't have our right of speech, based on my data: about 400 people send letters explaining why this should be not happening. While another 30 letter supports this proposal. Now, we want you to think about your decision. We, Deaf citizens of United States, think the right decision will be keeping the outreach in ISD.



Please support our cause and go to http://www.change.org/petitions/oppose-hb-1367 and sign our petition.
