> My name is Robert Kinget. like millions of Americans with vision or 
> hearing impairment I love going to the movies. However, finding a cinema 
> that offers movies with captioning or video description is not easy and 
> many of my friends with vision impairment have simply stopped going to 
> see a movie in a movie theater. Senator Tom Harkin (D-IA) recently 
> introduced two bills that will expand access to captioning and image 
> narration in movie theaters and allow people with visual or hearing 
> impairment to enjoy the movies we all love to watch. The Captioning and 
> Image Narration to Enhance Movie Accessibility (CINEMA) Act would 
> require movie theater complexes of two or more screens to make 
> captioning and video description available for ALL films at ALL 
> showings. With the help of this petition we can help push through 
> legislation that will force the studios and cinema operators to provide 
> the necessary technology so that everyone can enjoy the cinema experience.
