Disabled Americans who travel overseas will directly benefit by U.S.ratification of this treaty; 2. Ratifying a treaty does not require us tocomply with international law.They are arguing that a treaty is an empty promise with no actualsubstance.

mistake—ifthey succeed at ratifying this treaty, the Convention on the Rights of theChild is next. This is not a battle just for parents with disabled andspecial needs children. This is a battle for every parent.We absolutely *must* flood the U.S. Senate with phone calls. Senator Durbinmentioned that they were hearing from homeschoolers (and he was annoyed atus for voicing our opinion of his side’s planned assault on parentalrights.) But, we need to do even more.This is the most important issue that we will face this year. By July 26—upor down—we will either take another step toward becoming the subjects of aworld government *or* we will preserve our rights as American citizens.I urge you all in the strongest possible terms—*call both of your U.S.senators today*.

canfind online.Please give these senators some or all of the following message:“I urge you to oppose the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons withDisabilities. This treaty surrenders U.S. sovereignty to unelected UNbureaucrats, and will threaten parental control over children withdisabilities. Our nation already has laws to protect disabled Americans.This treaty is unnecessary and will hurt families.

Hi Tammy,

I agree, but you are seriousely restricted in your parental rights as is, by us

gov. And no one protested that. My I conclude it is ok if us gov takes your

children away but not un?

Jolanta
