Sample Letter

Dear Chairman Martin, Commissioners Adelstein, Copps and Tate:

I am a Deaf person and I use Video Relay Service, IP Relay or TTY to communicate. I am writing to thank you for supporting services that meet the communications needs of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community, and to urge you to increase rather than cut the rate for these vital services. I, together with many other Deaf people, their families and coworkers, depend on VRS and other relay services to communicate with hearing people and other Deaf people.

We should be encouraging more deaf people to use VRS. Deaf people use these services as part of their work and part of their lives. We urge you to do everything you can to make VRS and other relay services available to the many Deaf people who do not currently know they are available.

The FCC has mandated improvements in VRS, and we applaud those improvements. We urge you to provide adequate funding to support continued improvement to VRS, and to support outreach to more people in the Deaf community.

Increase funding for VRS and other relay services, don’t cut it.

Sincerely,

[Sign Your Name Here]
