[Nfb-hi] FW: Pubic Signing of SB 892

[pinkhawaii at gmail.com]

THE NEEDS OF THE DEAF, BLIND, HANDICAPPED AND ELDERLY!

Statistics, administration and organization:

Any MD must report any sexual transmitted disease but does not report the
disabilities of the blind, deaf, disabled or elderly. If we had such
statistics you would find out that only less than *10% of the blind have
absolutely NO vision and that only less than 10% of the deaf have absolutely
NO hearing.*

Please realize that most blind can hear and that most deaf can see. Only
with that knowledge you can automatically organize us nation wide and
provide for our needs without discrimination against the vast majority and
as now only provide for the few cronies that cater to their everlasting
often self appointed administrations and self interests. There should be a
term limit of 2 years for those administrations in government and private
charities to provide fairness for all disabled. The powerful National
Federation of the blind claims a membership of at least 50,000 blind persons
Nation wide, but Hawaii has a membership of only about 30, not even blind
members??? As blind members we must pay at least $45.- for a simple meal at
conventions. We are not allowed to listen to what concerns us, if we bring
our own 99 cent McDouble as our meal.

With those facts we can realize that Braille and American Sign languages are
self limiting and a detriment to the user’s education, communication and
social life. They limit themselves to only communicate in their own peer
group of equals.

Even our Video Relay Service providers are subsidized with about $7.- per
minute from the FCC and tax payers. The new Web Captel Services have an
excellent voice recognition service that needs little or no voice training
at all. Out of self interest the VRS does not let us use it for two sided
voice captions or dictating letters for our own needs, like this letter. It
would be so useful to us blind, students, elderly and handicapped to replace
difficult typing. Since their communication program is government subsidized
with at least $7.- per minute, make it available to the people to overcome
their disabilities. This alone would advance our disabled students and
workers in job placements, study and work instead of spending the proposed
millions of dollars for deaf centers or blind facilities that benefit the
developers, but not the blind, deaf or disabled here in Hawaii.

The chairman Martin of the FCC promised needy deaf blind free high speed
internet services for better person to person video, phone and internet
communication, but our legislators dropped the ball.

We need honest, selfless Charities and Organizations that support laws to
abandon the mandatory expensive medical examinations to buy used hearing
aids or glasses. Now all such collected equipment by our Lions and other
Organizations are shipped to our future enemies in foreign countries, the
same as the distributed $100.- laptops we could really use here at home for
OUR OWN disabled and children. We must stop the medical fraud by supply
companies, that constantly advertise the FREE blood sugar METER on TV with
big charges to Medicare for the FREE meter and about $1.- for each test
strip that should only cost pennies. The same as the FREE erection pumps
that   regularly advertised 2 for about $130.-, electric and manual for any
young men, but Medicare is defrauded with over $500.- and co payment!

Now we support handicapped dealers and blind vendors to make big money on
expensive equipment and as vendors at airports but they pay only minimum
wages to their blind or deaf employees.

Look at the Ho'opono trained blind vendors who sued the Hawaii State for
millions of Dollars under the Randolph Sheppard Act. Fortunately they lost.
Would the average blind have benefited anything at all, or only the selected
few???

We must make our laws fair and honest for Every one. I can show you true
evidence how one very prejudice older female judge with the help of other
judges in cahoots, to benefited her attorney friends in several documented
cases with big fees, only because I owned a rental property, to defend
without ANY HELP for the elderly certified deaf blind. We need fair legal
help for the blind and disabled, but not from our charity supported greedy
attorneys at the “Legal Aid Society!” Landlords prefer to keep their units
empty instead of paying in unfair courts. Unfair judges do not only hurt our
economy with lost income taxes but also our jobless and homeless. Injustice
to one is injustice to all of us. Such corruption started unrest and
revolutions in the old and new World.

If there is so little fair justice & honesty in our State Judiciary, how can
we expect fairness and honesty in advertising??? Even our own deaf or blind
dating services want big money from us with few or No results.

Our own Deaf Blind Committee under Senator Susan Chun-Oakland does not
listen to the needs of our deaf or blind community. There we only have 2
certified deaf-blind and at least 30 others who want BIG MONEY for few
selected causes that do not really help the majority of our handicapped in
our community. As in most committees, its members are most often misused to
endorse what they often do not understand.

This statement was written by a certified deaf blind handicapped very
disabled unfairly hurt, but dying man, who only wants to leave behind a
better improving world for ALL OF YOU and US!

I BET THAT THIS TRUTHFUL ARTICLE WILL BE GREATLY EDITED!
