This petition is directed toward all US citizens. A few years ago, a law was made to make all tvs closed captioned. That was a good law, but what is the use when so many programs aren\'t closed captioned. Why not make the closed captioning of all programs on all stations a law Those that don\'t want to read the captions can just turn on the captioning on their tv, so it wouldn\'t get in anyone\'s way. It would have many benefits: help those learning to read, help those learning to speed read, help the elderly understand the programs, perhaps improve the reading level of various people, etc..
The momentum behind this initiative continues to grow at an encouraging pace. It is clear that the need for universal closed captioning resonates with a wide audience who value accessibility. This progress confirms that our push for better standards is both necessary and timely.

Hard to believe this is still an issue in 2016. Should be automatic for every single show.
