Dear Friends of California,
PLEASE READ!!!

It's the bill AB2072 that AGB and its allies have been pushing to the floor this Thursday for CA Assembly members to vote. This bill will push to oral training over ASL in CA and don't give fair info on communication options. What s more this bill may means that CSDR and CSDF cldnt do outreach program because it cost to state. They (the supporters of this bill) will provide info for free and no charge to State or any State agencies (CSDR and CSDF) in which means no more deaf kids attending CSDF/CSDR in long run.

AB 2072 Mendoza-OPPOSED

I oppose this bill for the following reasons:

1. It is inherently biased.
2. Unequally represents communication options for parents on the brochures.
3. The authoring of this bill didn't include Deaf Community Stakeholders/Taxpayers.
4. The Audiologists are not trained to provide the information equally on the communication options including American Sign Language.
