\n\tURGENT ALERT!<\/strong>
\n\tHatch takes to the Senate Floor to Oppose Disability Treaty<\/strong><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tJuly 10, 2013. <\/strong> Yesterday afternoon Senator Hatch took to the Senate floor and unprovoked, made a long statement ( <\/span>READ STATEMENT HERE<\/a>) in opposition to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). Senator Hatch claims that he supports disability rights, but actions speak louder than words. Taking to the Senate Floor to oppose the disability treaty is a clear sign that he intends to turn his back on people with disabilities both here in the U.S. and around the world.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tWe need Utah and voices from around the country speaking out against this action. Please move quickly to activate your networks, partners, and members:<\/span>
