CRPD: Serious Action on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities<\/strong><\/p>\n

MONDAY, DECEMBER 3, 2012<\/p>\n

CELEBRATE THE INTERNATIONAL DAY OF
\nPEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
\nBY MAKING A CALL TO THE SENATE FOR THE CRPD!<\/p>\n

COUNTER THE LIES<\/p>\n

(FORWARD THIS MESSAGE VIA EMAIL BUT DO NOT PUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA \u2013 OPPOSITION IS MONITORING)<\/p>\n

We have come so far in the movement towards ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and if everything goes right, we are just a few days away from a final vote. At this important moment, we are facing lies from the opposition including that the treaty will sexualize children and hurt people with disabilities!<\/p>\n

They will stop at nothing to try and impact the vote and so we must take action now and take back our voice! So this Monday, December 3rd, on the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, call the Senate and call often!<\/p>\n

CALL BLITZ!
\nCall Capitol Switchboard to reach ANY Senator:
\n(202) 224-3121<\/p>\n

Call and ask to speak with the offices of the senators below and tell them that:<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a person with a disability and\/or advocate and I am counting on you to vote YES for the CRPD without new amendments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry that these senators aren’t from your state \u2013 this is an United States disability movement!<\/p>\n

Call each senator at least once! Call and call again \u2013 we need to flood the switchboard in order to show our commitment to the rights of people with disabilities.<\/p>\n

Lies from the Opposition about the CRPD
\n\u201cChildren will not be able to be homeschooled if this passes\u201d
\n\u201cThe rights of American parents to determine their children’s welfare and care would be overruled by an international standard if the U.S. Senate passes the treaty\u201d
\n\u201c[The treaty would] create an atmosphere discriminatory against children [with disabilities] and their families\u201d<\/p>\n
