Folks:
Just taking a minute here to give credit where it is due...Over the weekend, I emailed EVERY member of the 2 committees that the Captioned Movies bill is assigned to, asking each of them to please at least consider bringing the bill up for discussion in committee so that it doesn't die on the table. To date, ONE person has responded, Rep. Kelly Flood (D) of House District 75 (Fayette County, Ky.)

Kudos to Rep. Flood for taking the time to respond to an email from someone who is not even in her district! She was gracious in her response, stating "Thanks, Mr. Runyon, I will pay attention to the issue when it comes up in Judiciary and speak to Rep. Combs (my Rep) about your concerns." Simple, but to the point. Out of all of the people I have emailed through the assigned emails (other than my own representatives), she has been THE only one to respond, including even a Representative who was formerly over the Student Special Services Office at Eastern Kentucky University, Rep. Harry Moberly. You would think, of all the people, HE would be one to respond, having formerly been over the office that coordinates interpreters and notetakers for the deaf and hard of hearing at EKU, but nary a peep out of him.
I understand that, during legislative sessions, State Representatives and State Senators may be inundated with communications from their constituents, however, it is imperative that they at least give the courtesy of even a brief response, to let people know their voice has been heard. Seems Rep. Flood understands this.
