This is such an inspiring story. It is wonderful what can be accomplished when a person like Mr. Weinstein and the companies that helped him care enough to not only provide an innovative product that will help millions, but also to provide many jobs for the Deaf. NetSignNews also has the potential to reach millions, and people from over 60 countries around the world are regular viewers (see the "About Us" page). So get the word out and post the NetSignNews.com link everywhere you can. Then more companies will see that they have a way to help the deaf too by supporting this site.
