====================================================================== From the HSLDA E-lert Service... ====================================================================== Please Call Senator Hatch and Urge Him to Oppose UN Disabilities Treaty Dear HSLDA Members and Friends, As you know, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has said that the Senate will take up the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), possibly as early as tomorrow or Thursday. Unfortunately, we have been unable to confirm that one of your senators, Senator Orrin Hatch, will oppose this treaty. Senator Hatch's silence on the CRPD is baffling and concerning. He is a respected conservative and his lack of action in protecting parents and special needs children is disappointing. We need urgent calls to his office (even if you have already called) urging him to stand against the CRPD and protect U.S. sovereignty and parental rights. You can call his Washington, D.C. office as well as one or more of his district offices, and email him at http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=16343 . If you are able to visit a district office, that would also be wonderful. Washington, D.C. Office 202-224-5251 Salt Lake City Office 801-524-4380 Provo Office 801-375-7881 St. George Office 435-634-1795 Ogden Office 801-625-5672 Cedar City Office 435-586-8435 Please give his staff some or all of this message: "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 disabled Americans. This treaty is unnecessary and will hurt families. If the Senate ratifies this treaty, it would be the first time ever that the U.S. has ratified a treaty that obligates us to recognize economic, social, and cultural entitlements as rights under domestic law." Then, please forward this email to your friends and family in Utah and urge them to call as well. Please also post this information on social media to help get the word out to parents and freedom-loving people in Utah. For more information on the dangers of this treaty please visit our CRPD page. http://www.hslda.org/elink.asp?id=16344 Your contacts will make a difference. In the past few hours, we have seen several other conservative senators who had been waffling on the CRPD come out and strongly oppose it--all because of the calls and emails they received from parents like you. Thank you for standing with us for freedom. Sincerely, Mike Smith President, HSLDA ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Remember the last time you wrote a term paper?
