Hello Gerard!
A big thank you for this nice message...YES...we can write Sign  
Language!

And it is true that our political season, here in the US, has been  
unusual and historic in many ways...and it is still going on too...not  
over yet!

I am so happy Adam Frost's video "Why SignWriting?" was shown at the  
Cherasco Festival 2008 in Piedmont, Italy. I agree it is eloquent!

We will be posting Adam's video on the SignWriting site as soon as the  
video is written in SignWriting, so people can read it and view it...

Val ;-)
