Shawn Elfrink and I want to thank Audism Free America, Deaf Bilingual Coalition, Deafhood Foundation, National Association of the Deaf, and many other supporters/volunteers for the rally in St. Louis. We do appreciate it and it has been a learning experience for everyone to get into activism.

Here is clarification of what activism is: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/activism

It is what we are doing to emphasize direct vigorous action especially in opposition of audism practices.

Audism spreads while good Deaf people do nothing!

Sincerely,

Paul Kiel and Shawn Elfrink
