Hello Parents of Deaf Children at TSD, TSD Alumnus, Friends and Supporters
\nof Texas School for the Deaf:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Texas School for the Deaf is facing budget cuts that will hurt some programs
\nat TSD and eliminate some positions. It is ironic that TSD has been growing
\nin numbers of students and is now recognized as one of the best deaf schools
\nin the country, the state is threatening to cut the budget for the school.<\/p>\n

We need your support:<\/p>\n

Here is how you can help!<\/p>\n

1. Watch this video at http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jQKYVpIUXHg<\/a> . (youtube video)<\/p>\n

2. Sign up in Facebook under “SAVE TSD” to get updates.<\/p>\n

3. We need volunteers. Send email to us at savetsd@gmail.com. We need
\npeople to send letters to Senate, House of Reps, Legislatures, and various
\nlaw makers to protest against the budget cut. Email us if you are
\ninterested and we will show you how.<\/p>\n

4. Show up and show your support at the Senate Finance Hearing this Monday,
\nFebruary 7th, 2011, at the State Capital Room E1.036 at 9:30 AM. There will
\nbe some parents giving testimonies. We need to fill the room there with
\nsupporters to watch.<\/p>\n

5. We will have another hearing with the House Appropriation Subcommittee,
\ntoo so we need supporters to go there, too. Date has not been determined
\nyet but will be announced in Facebook. We need supporters there, too.<\/p>\n

6. Show up and bring your family, relatives, and friends (both deaf and
\nhearing) to the TSD Rally on Wed, March 9th from 2 PM to 5 PM outside at the
\nSouth Steps of the Texas Capital. We want to see thousands of people there
\nto show the world what TSD represents. ASL students and anyone are welcome!
\nWe will invite the media and ask some politicians to show up, too.<\/p>\n

Thank you for your support.<\/p>\n

RG<\/p>\n
