UN Disabilities Treaty on the Move
Contact Members of U.S. Senate Foreign Relations Committee!
Dear Champion of Parental Rights,
We are hearing from multiple sources that the U.S. Senate’s Foreign Relations Committee is gearing up to hold hearings on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. The plan is to hold the hearings sometime next month. The Senate needs to hear from you immediately that this already defeated UN treaty must not be ratified by the U.S. Senate. The United States Senate must not surrender our domestic sovereignty and the care of children with disabilities to unelected, unaccountable UN bureaucrats. Parents know best how to care for their children with disabilities. U.S. law is the gold standard for ensuring that people with disabilities are protected and able to participate in all areas of U.S. society. The U.S. Senate will be in recess next week, which means that your senators are back in your state meeting with constituents. Please do three things:
Your message to your senators can be as simple as the following:
“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 Americans with
disabilities. This treaty is unnecessary and will hurt families by
giving bureaucrats the power to decide what is in the best interests of a
child with disabilities, not the child’s parents.”

Thank you for joining with us in this battle to protect our children and our children’s future. You defeated this treaty last year. Standing together, we can defeat this treaty once again. For liberty,
Michael P. Farris, J.D., LL.M.
