Up date on Saito Rie's run for Tokyo kita ward election

I was surprised to see the topic of my media discussion report being on tv. My media discussion report was about a deaf single mother, Saitou Rie, running for election for the Tokyo kida ward. The controversy was that being deaf she had to use writing on paper to communicate. In the laws for running for election you are not aloud  to use extra material specifically pamphlets and leaflets. Saito Rie's writing was argued that it is against the rule. My opinion was that we need to make it possible for semi disabled people as well. The reason why I say semi disabled is because people like Saitou Rie are disabled physically however are very active mentally and have just as much rights as anyone else. On TV they were showing how Saitou Rie's run for election was accepted and a new machine to help deaf people understand the debates. It is a new machine that types the words you say in a device on the big screen. Even with three or more people talking it shows what each person is saying in seperate paragraphs. I'm glad to know that tokyo city is respecting people like her and thinking of new ways to include peopl like her in the political world.
