Comments on: A new modern way of reviving Sympo for TAD http://deaftexas.org/wp/blog/2009/02/01/a-new-modern-way-of-reviving-sympo-for-tad/ To promote leadership, growth and equality among the D/deaf and hard of hearing Texans Thu, 17 Nov 2011 15:14:58 -0700 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Samuel Jones http://deaftexas.org/wp/blog/2009/02/01/a-new-modern-way-of-reviving-sympo-for-tad/comment-page-1/#comment-9235 Samuel Jones Mon, 09 Feb 2009 02:24:24 +0000 http://deaftexas.org/wp/?p=322#comment-9235 Any deaf person lives in my native Texas is very luck to have very plenty of 18 months to talk with your representative Texas State government before each Legislature session(140 days). In Maryland, we have only three months legislature session but not enough time to work on which bill, otherwise lead this bill to die in ten days historically. When Stephen Weiner, former texan talked in our local leaders meeting, my mind got bingo! I realized pending on plenty of time. When we had a lot of hard works to pass the bill to have Deaf and HH agency first time in Maryland, I asked Kelby Brick good question how long did it take to have Deaf HH office. It took almost 35 years to get that. Later our state considered against hiring a secretary as chairperson mentioned serious communication problem at her job, I said that good point to that problem as we could not afford other 35 years ahead. Having DHH office, we must to do faster with other organizations to work hardy on next bill during each 9 months plus three months session. Good luck for you all in Texas to help Deaf/HH people better in 18 months(Symposium) period plus each session. I still learn on all each state with its sessions as really periods are variable long/short but I noticed that middle states including SD, ND to Texas but in the West/ the East, voice speed must speak very faster as 300 words per minute.

periods are variable long/short but I noticed that middle states
including SD, ND to Texas but in the West/ the East, voice speed
