CALL Congresspeople!

Thanks to Stacy Eilbert Gough again

ITS TIME TO CALL MORE CONGRESSMEN AND GET THEM INFORMED!!!

What can you do?

1. Call EACH person in Congress (www.house.gov and www.senate.gov to find yours)

2. When you reach them on the phone - if you get an answering machine...you
can repeat this statement

"Hi my name is (your name). I want to make you aware of the current
situation at Gallaudet University in Washington DC and the outrage from the larger
community including alumni, family members of students, Deaf people, and many
other bystanders watching. There was a flawed process in the selection of the
9th president of Gallaudet University and they want to be heard - they do not
want Dr. Fernandes presiding the university. There has been very little
support and votes of "no confidence" in Dr. Fernandes' ability to lead this
cherished and renowned place called Gallaudet. The University's Public Relations
office has continued to cover up flaw after flaw made by the University's
administration and the Board of Trustees. The administration continues to
distort images of what is really happening. I am requesting your immediate
intervention. The community wishes for two things to happen:
1. Dr. Fernandes to resign and to re-open the search for a new president of
Gallaudet
2. no reprisals be given to any faculty member, staff member, or student
for their involvement in this protest.
Thank you for your time"

3. When you are done with calling congressmen in California, go to this link
and click on each state and go through the list of congressmen and repeat
the statement from #2.
