Petition to Recognize ASL (Presented in ASL)
-
0:06 - 0:12Hello everyone, I am posting this on many group websites,
-
0:12 - 0:17really everywhere. I would like you to also repost this for me.
-
0:17 - 0:22What this is is a petition to the White house,
-
0:22 - 0:28it is called " We the People". This petition is to go directly to the White house.
-
0:34 - 0:44This petition is to formally recognize American Sign Language
-
0:47 - 0:57as a Community Language as well as a Language of Instruction in schools.
-
1:00 - 1:16This began November 12th 2012 and needs to be done with in a month.
-
1:16 - 1:22we are already in the December and them by December 12/2012
-
1:26 - 1:32We are hoping to get 25 000 signatures to this petition.
-
1:32 - 1:39If we do get 25 000 signatures then the White house is required to respond.
-
1:39 - 1:45This shows the power people have.
-
1:50 - 1:56So if you are confused and aren't sure how this works,
-
1:59 - 2:05I'm happy to explain the process.
-
2:05 - 2:12We need 25 000 signatures, we have already collected 14 215.
-
2:18 - 2:30Which is great but we need more, we need another 10 785 by midnight EST.
-
2:32 - 2:43So we really want to get to 25 000 signatures, it would be great if we can
-
2:43 - 2:50So we can work with the government and the White house
-
2:54 - 3:03We have been fighting for our American Sign Language to be recognized
-
3:10 - 3:16On the site there are 2 numbers,
-
3:16 - 3:26people sometimes get confused. The first number is how many signatures we need.
-
3:26 - 3:34The second number is how many we already have.
-
3:35 - 3:43If you were to total them , they would add to 25 000. Does that make sense?
-
3:43 - 3:49Please sign our petition and thanks for watching.
