UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
From Michele Norman:
Dear Friends,
I just got an e-alert from HSLDA (Homeschool Legal Defense Association) about the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UNCRPD). The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilitiessurrenders U.S. sovereignty to unelected U.N. bureaucrats, and will threaten parental decision making for children with disabilities. If you want to know more, follow the link: http://www.hslda.org/LandingPages/crpd/index.html.
I called Senator Graham’s office to ask him to vote against it (Senator DeMint has already voiced his disapproval) and Graham’s aide told me HE WAS GOING TO VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY! Harry Reed is trying to get the treaty ratified during the lame duck session. The senate is to vote on this tomorrow, Wednesday, November 28th.
I am especially appalled by this treaty as it will take away the parental rights of disabled children to determine what they deem best for their children versus what the bureaucrats of the UN deem best. We have a disabled daughter with autism and have throughout her schooling years educated her at home, in the public school and in a private Christian school. My husband and I were the ones who decided when and where we thought the best fit was for her at that time. We would not have wanted to have bureaucrats who look at statistics and who have a godless agenda dictating where we would have had to educate her or where she will be forced to live after we die.
Here in America, we already have laws to protect disabled people called the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We do not need the UN dictating to us.
Please flood Lindsay Graham’s office with phone calls! (202-224-5972). We do not need our liberal Republican senator to vote against the most helpless among us.
Give them some or all of this message:
“I urge you to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This treaty surrenders U.S.sovereignty to unelected UN bureaucrats and will threaten parental care of children with disabilities. Our nation already has laws to protect disabled Americans. This treaty is unnecessary and will hurt families. If the Senate ratifies this treaty, it would be the first time ever that the U.S. has ratified a treaty that obligates us to recognize economic, social, and cultural entitlements as rights under domestic law.” (From the HSLDA website)
Thank you,
Sarah Grubbs
