"This convention sets a precedent for treaties that would actually allow an international body to define our own domestic law." - Senator Mike Lee (R-UT)
ALERT: Dangerous U.N. Disabilities Treaty must be rejected! Take Action and Blast Faxes to Senators!
American Conservative,
Senate globalists have been working hard this month to move the United Nations Disabilities Treaty forward.
Senators John McCain and Bob Menendez have already made it clear that they want to see a full Senate vote on the Treaty before the end of the year, and they are doing all they can to lobby their colleagues to support the global scheme.
They argue that the Treaty is necessary to protect U.S. Veterans abroad, yet there is no evidence at all that the agreement would accomplish such. In fact, AMVETS recently pulled their support from the U.N. Plan because it would not "have any measurable, positive effects on veterans with disabilities travelling or serving abroad."
Disability advocate and former Senator Rick Santorum recently told Fox News that "there is no point in the in the U.S. submitting itself to review by the United Nations for something where we already lead the world."
"We don't have to sign-off on a treaty to show the world that we treat people with disabilities with more respect than, frankly, almost any other country in the world," says Santorum. "There's no reason for us to do this, it is simply another way for us to shift responsibility out of the hands of individuals, families, communities, and local governments, and give it to international bodies..."
With the Treaty soon out of committee, it won't be long until the international agreement faces a full Senate vote. We need to contact Senators now!
Take Action! Blast faxes to U.S. Senators telling them to vote against the United Nations Disabilities Treaty!
