"Is There A Way We Can Do This Electronically Or With Tech?

After reading my 112th newsletter issue, “The First-in-Iowa American Sign Language Caucus (2020), U.S. Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa replied to Robert Vizzini’s email, “Very interesting. Is there a way we can do this electronically or with tech?”

I hope her exclamation could lead the Lynn County GOP Chair to learn about ADA compliance.

Surprisingly, this issue landed at No. 6 in the below ranking (113 issues.)

After looking at the list, I believe the No. 3 could be the biggest surprise.

In 2008, Lindsey Dolich (Felt) told the public that the Deaflympics is “a LEGITIMATE, global tournament with an opening ceremony, medals, and drug testing.”

(Today, Lindsey poses at Sanford University (top) after rising from Haverford College, where she had a Phi Beta Kappa key in 2006)

We hope the word “legitimate” could cause the Commission on the State of U.S. Olympics and Paralympics (CSUSOP) to consider requesting Congress to amend the Deaflympics into the Ted Stevens Olympic and Amateur Sports Act of 1998.

We thank Lindsey for speaking out.
