A deaf Democrat is asking for a HUGE favor.... if you have time to spare.... (captioned videos)

[Hawkeye-X]

I would LOVE to see most of the Democratic videos captioned... and thanks to another deaf DU'er, there is a way to do it, and it works on Youtube, Google, etc.

It's called Overstream.net (http://www.overstream.net/index.php)

If you do upload a video, it would be great if you also make time to caption the video, even if it's short or long. Someone captioned an Obama "Yes we can" video - and it continued to solidify my support for Obama.

Here is the Obama video:

Whoever takes the time and effort to at *least* attempt to caption the videos will always have the deaf DU'ers and deaf Democratic appreciation.

And of course, you are always invited to check out the DU Deaf/Hard of Hearing subforum, just click on my signature.
