The following is from an email sent to the FreedomsDefenders.com email list (sign up here): Dear Defenders of Freedom, The
UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is back
- and the proponents of this dangerous treaty are now more determined
to pass it then ever.
Together, we stopped this treaty once before, and we need your help to stop it again. Please call your two United States Senators
and/or one of the Senators on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,
which will be considering the treaty soon. Find their contact
information and make the call here: www.freedomsdefenders.com/crpd/action
Young people, please sign our petition! You are the
future of America and the Senate needs to know that you oppose this
treaty. After we reach one thousand signatures on our youth petition,
we will be sending it to key Senators. Sign it here:...

Senate leadership has promised that they will bring the CRPD up

Not long ago, I had the privilege to briefly speak with a man who has been instrumental in fighting the UN CRPD, former Senator Rick Santorum. He reaffirmed the fact that the CRPD will come back - we must keep fighting it. We are very grateful to Senator Santorum for his leadership in fighting for faith, family, freedom, and opportunity for all in America.

Dear Senator, I just signed the following petition asking the U.S. Senate to vote against ratification of the UN CRPD. ---------------- The undersigned youth call on the United States Senate to reject the
United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities
(CRPD).It may sound good to support a treaty that claims to
