Also other sources but these two seem important. Nothing illegal about getting this money BUT one does wonder if it affects one's thinking especially with a tight election race coming up in November for Mr. Boucher... Does who you get the money from influence what you think about something or who you listen to?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-83387306187098847772010-06-14T16:20:29.926-04:002010-06-14T16:20:29.926-04:00The only time I have EVER seen captions from CBS i...The only time I have EVER seen captions from CBS is when Luke Adams was on the Amazing Race, they had episodes that were captioned separate from the non-captioned videos, and even that was a few years back, so it has been removed.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08201690991494309975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-35016738447034689622010-06-13T22:19:13.524-04:002010-06-13T22:19:13.524-04:00Frequently politicians put their foot in their mou...Frequently politicians put their foot in their mouth when they depend on scriptwriters that get their facts wrong. That doesn't excuse their responsibility, though, any more than signing a contract without reading it excuses their responsibility.<br /><br />Boucher is still on a mission: to protect constituents who contributed funds to his re-election campaign. These are industries who would be affected by being forced to provide captions and other deaf-friendly information on their public services.Dianrezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07077219189139398901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-20835278744108142812010-06-13T20:47:23.536-04:002010-06-13T20:47:23.536-04:00JJ, don't know what you mean by "rebuttal...JJ, don't know what you mean by "rebuttal," but once it has been said publicly in a hearing, it is too late to change things.Jamiehttp://captionaction2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-44753476915111770782010-06-13T17:12:39.847-04:002010-06-13T17:12:39.847-04:00Is there a way to get this information to the bill...Is there a way to get this information to the bill's sponsors so that they can offer up a rebuttal of some sort?J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00459477865766179127noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-81721632229879764352010-06-13T14:37:39.790-04:002010-06-13T14:37:39.790-04:00Mr. Boucher certainly needs to do his own homework...Mr. Boucher certainly needs to do his own homework, rather than depending on someone to do it for him. :pTaminoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3759197423390637224.post-69841001620194508272010-06-13T12:45:28.494-04:002010-06-13T12:45:28.494-04:00At the moment, we're wondering if Boucher actu...At the moment, we're wondering if Boucher actually had a chance to read through it before actually reading aloud from it.
