To this date since the President's inauguration on January 20, 2017 all the videos and broadcasts from the White House cease to be captioned. The White House is a government institution and is subject to the Americans with Disabilities laws. The ADA requires all government institutions to give captions or subtitles on their television wherever they broadcast their message or news or announcement. Not to caption nor subtitle government broadcasts is to leave 48 million Americans with varying degrees of hearing loss in the darkness. Whenever the President speaks from the White House, he has to speak to all Americans, not a portion. Once the White House videos are captioned, all the nation listens, not a portion.

This petition is to urge the White House to respect and comply with the ADA.
