Blue ribbon and George Veditz on special license plate

We, the undersigned, call upon WV Legislators, WV Governor, and WV Dept of Motor Vehicles to support Deaf West Virginians's recommendation to create a new decal on the special license plate that include blue ribbon and George Veditz instead of icon of ear with slash. We strongly believe it is best to identify our culture, language, community, and history.

Why is this important?

We, Deaf West Virginians support Karen Kingrey's idea to create new decal on the special license plate. We prefer blue ribbon and George Veditz instead of symbol of ear with slash. We want to honor George Veditz, former President of NAD who preserved our sign language which is most noblest God-given gift and blue ribbon represents Deaf culture, language, community, and history.
