Subject: SOUND THE ALARM: TOMORROW US Senate vote on Rights of Disabled. Very bad.<br />
From: amyjaynehawkins@gmail.com<br />
To: ginamichop@gmail.com<br />
Thanks to my dad,&nbsp;Glenn Beck, Rick Santorum and this ParentalRights.org initiative (with HSLDA's Michael Farris) for raising my attention to this issue and calling for action. <br />
<br />
Rick Santorum puts it better than I can: <br />
<br />
&quot;The U.S. Senate has scheduled a vote on the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) for Tuesday, December 4.<br />
<br />
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) would give the U.N. oversight of the healthcare and education choices parents with special needs kids make. &nbsp;It is outrageous that the government could tell you and me what is best for our children, particularly when they&rsquo;ve never met the child. <br />
<br />
If this were to pass, CRPD would become the law of the land under the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause, and would trump state laws, and could be used as precedent by state and federal judges. This treaty would give the government, acting under U.N. instructions, the ability to determine for all children with disabilities what is best for them. It also would give the U.N. discretion over decisions about how we educate our special needs kids, and could potentially eliminate parental rights for the education of children with disabilities.&quot;<br />
<br />
The call to action: <br />
<br />
Michigan has two US Senators - Stabenow and Levin, both democrats. Please call, email, fax, reach them via social media - and PRAY. It is most worthwhile to call your Senators; recruit people in other states to call theirs. If you were to call Senators in other states, it will not have a great impact as their job is to listen to their constituents. <br />
<br />
Tell them to vote NO on CRPD. Read further for more information; and see PatriotVoices.com/&nbsp;Rick Santorum's website and information here. <br />
