DEMOCRATS USING AUGUST RECESS TO FORCE U.N. CRDP TREATY ONTO US ALL
Protect American Children, Families and
U.S. Sovereignty From U.N. Meddling!
U.S. Sovereignty From U.N. Meddling!
Demand NO Fake "Disabilities" Treaty
One
of the most prominent voices against the United Nations Convention on
the Rights of Disabled Persons (CRDP), former Senator Rick Santorum
warned us after our December victory to stall ratification of this
treaty, "CRDP is not dead… its supporters are pushing to bring it up in
the next Congress."
He was right – and we MUST defeat CRDP today!
Senate
Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Bob Menendez (D-NJ) has stealthily
revived ratification attempts for the so-called treaty THIS MONTH.
And Menendez is continuing to work right now to gather
support to force this treaty – already signed on July 30, 2009 by former
Ambassador to the U.N. and Benghazi bungler Susan Rice – through Senate
ratification while we are all currently focused on more high profile
issues!
If
Menendez is not stopped, not only will disabled Americans be subject to
the authority and enforcement mechanisms of the United Nations first
and foremost, but so too will be their families, employers, neighbors –
each and every one of us – by DEFAULT.
Article 6, Section 2 of the United States Constitution sets forth that all treaties ratified by the Senate become part of the "supreme law of the land."
If
we don't hound the Senate to REJECT the CRDP, our parental rights and
our national sovereignty will be displaced from our own homes and
usurped from our public life as the United Nation's "evolving concept"
of disabilities and what that means in terms of "rights" becomes
ascendant as the supreme law of the land right here in the United
States.
Pro-life opponents of this unconstitutional, anti-American
treaty are warning that if passed, the CRDP could uphold Roe vs. Wade no
matter what OUR courts decide!Senator Orrin Hatch (R-UT) warns that "more than two dozen areas of national life including education, health, employment, accessibility, and independent living" would be affected by this treaty.
"Ratifying nations must enact,
modify, or abolish not only laws and regulations at all levels of
government – federal, state, and local – but also social customs and
cultural practices," Sen. Hatch noted in July as the CRDP emerged back
on the Senate radar. "Ratifying nations must refrain from engaging in
any acts or practices that are inconsistent with the treaty as well as
ensure that all public authorities and institutions act in conformity
with it." The seditious nature of this globalist U.N. instrument is
clear!
The last time around, we defeated the CRDP by a mere five votes leaving Reid unable to reach the 2/3 vote threshold.Our elected officials, again, need to hear your resounding REJECTION OF THE SOVEREIGNTY-CRUSHING, ABORTION-PROMOTING CRDP!
There
is no doubt that the United Nation globalists in Congress are working
with the Obama to violate the U.S. Constitution and to steamroll U.S.
sovereignty, this time seeking to subject our most private family
decisions to the United Nations for approval – killing liberty
plus ensuring that the U.S. gets stuck with picking up the multi-million
dollar tab for U.N. treaty compliance!
It MUST be stopped NOW!
The
United Nations Convention on Rights of Disabled Persons (U.N. CRDP) is
not only a globalist assault on parental rights, family privacy,
disability and childhood education and care alternatives like
homeschooling – it is an anti-American sovereignty nightmare that
implicates U.S. legal compliance in another extremist treaty, the UN Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women.
THAT
treaty, to which the U.S. is NOT yet a party, enshrines abortion and
homosexuality as basic "human rights" and is another U.N. gun grab that
calls for universal disarmament!
Already, 153 countries have signed the treaty United Nations Convention on Rights of Disabled Persons (CRDP) – including the United States.
ALL that prevents this odious treaty from intruding the coercive power
of the United Nations and the U.S. federal government right into your
home is REJECTION by the U.S. Senate. But we aren't yet certain of
enough NO votes to stop CRDP! WE NEED YOUR HELP URGENTLY TO GALVANIZE
SENATE REPUDIATION OF THIS GLOBALIST POWER GRAB!
WE
MUST SHOUT OUT TO OUR SENATORS IN THEIR DC AND HOME STATE OFFICES TO
REJECT RATIFICATION BEFORE ANY BACKROOM DEALS GET DONE DURING THE RECESS
– IT MAY BE TOO LATE WHEN THEY RETURN TO WASHINGTON!
This is yet another awful U.N.
treaty that threatens American sovereignty, promoted by foreign
diplomats and their internationalist allies in our federal government.
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Disabled Persons (U.N.
CRDP) empowers government agents above the authority of
parents of disabled children, outlaws corporal punishment of ALL
children (including spanking!) and endorses and facilitates
government-paid abortions.
Proponents,
including many Republicans, falsely claim it will help to expand rights
and opportunities for disabled people in all nations. Fortunately,
pro-Constitution Senators like Mike Lee and Ted Cruz reject these
specious arguments, and are likely to lead the charge to again shut
ratification of the CRDP down. But many RINOs like John McCain are fight
their valiant efforts!
"When you look at the language in the treaty you realize
there are other things at stake here. A lot of language in there has
nothing to do with disabilities and that is likely to push the U.S.
toward more international law," and should make the CRDP
ineligible for U.S. ratification, according to former Senator Jim
DeMint, now president of the Heritage Foundation.DeMint says the language of the treaty reveals that it will promote abortion and erode rights and parental legal authority – particularly the rights of homeschooling parents.
"Homeschoolers
are up in arms. We already have some judges in our country that are
using international law to change our laws. We're afraid that if the
language suggests that parental authority is not absolute, we're going
to have an international body telling our parents they can't
homeschool."
PERSECUTION OF HOMESCHOOLING FAMILIES IN EUROPE IS ONGOING,
AND SHOCKING, and includes detaining and jailing of homeschooling
parents, state seizure of children from their parents, and families
having to flee to avoid unjust prosecutions! NOT IN AMERICA! THIS U.N.
TREATY MUST BE DEFEATED!
Senator DeMint rightly notes
that the U.S. is by far the most respectful nation on earth of the
God-given natural parental authority to raise children according to a
family's decent beliefs and convictions, and that the U.S. is the most
accommodating nation in the world to people with disabilities. For the
U.S. to ratify this Convention can only create globalist mischief, and
diminish our American sovereignty. "We're well entangled
internationally at this point; we don't need another treaty," says
DeMint. "America needs to be the model of the world. We need to be the light rather than trying to submit ourselves to other nations."
The
U.N. thinks ALL our children must NOT ever receive any corporal
punishment including spanking, that they must be NOT be exposed to any
knowledge or familiarity to guns, and that they MUST be facilitated
abortion services by the state. This U.N. treaty WILL violate the
parental rights of authority in families caring for minors, including
disabled children AND compel signatory states to provide free abortions
as part of mandatory "reproductive health" services for disabled
individuals!
MAKE NO MISTAKE: This treaty tramples American
sovereignty AND opens the door to unaccountable bureaucrats to come into
your home and decide how best to educate and care for YOUR children!Article 4(5) eliminates state and federal sovereignty on disability laws. |
When
the United States joined 19 other nations to approve the CRDP in 2008,
our delegation issued an official statement that the phrase
"reproductive health" does not include abortion. But that was just empty
whistling in the wind, because international law does not recognize the
validity of one nation's reservations to a treaty ratified by many
other nations.
In 2009, then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made a change
of policy ON THE RECORD, stating that the definition of "reproductive
health" includes abortion. In testifying before the House Foreign Affairs Committee on April 22, 2009, she said: "Family planning is an important part of women's health, and reproductive health includes access to abortion."
THIS IS CHILLING. Liberal
justices, like Ruth Bader Ginsburg, have already urged using foreign
law to interpret U.S. domestic laws – and now, if this convention is not
stopped, the door will be left wide open to the trumping of our U.S.
domestic laws with the whims of a U.N. "committee of experts"! What
few restrictions we have managed to maintain in America against the
eugenicist, abortion-on-demand globalists will be swept aside!
This is the United States of
America. The liberals may be plotting a globalist legal and policy
putsch, or they may be just conveniently forgetting that the rights and
freedoms of individuals with disabilities are already well protected
under our Constitution and existing case law. But if America is to
remain a sovereign nation, we cannot afford to let our lawmakers have
such a memory lapse. Just like able persons, disabled Americans are
treated in the United States with more rights and more respect than in
any other nation on earth, regardless of wealth or circumstances. If the
rights of disabled Americans require further protection or definition
then it should be accomplished through the appropriate legislative
processes right here in the U.S. – NOT outsourced to international law
through the United Nations as a one-size-fits-all, globalist "solution"
of grasping, meddling bureaucrats!
Advocacy organs such as Disability Scoop
and some of our elected officials on Capitol Hill are touting this
treaty as an instrument that promotes "greater community access" and a
"better standard of living" for people around the world with
disabilities, but don't be fooled.
The CRDP removes parental authority in favor of faceless
bureaucracy, and leaves globalist agencies and government in charge of
deciding what's best for OUR children! These decisions must NEVER be
surrendered to international agencies, national governments, nor
ultimately subject to the America-undermining United Nations general
assembly. This treaty leaves the health, welfare,
wellbeing, education and the futures of OUR children and especially our
vulnerable disabled American youth at the mercy of the America-hating,
ever-expanding United Nations globalists.
The United States signed onto this BINDING global pact
submitting America's treatment of disabled individuals to international
scrutiny during the first year of the Obama administration in 2009, but
SENATE RATIFICATION is still needed to make CRDP official and fully enforceable.
This unnecessary international agreement is expected to sail through the Senate with 'bipartisan' support unless WE ACT NOW to demand the U.S. Senate defend our liberty, sovereignty and private decision-making from U.N. encroachment!The CRDP has been relentlessly shoved along toward ratification by USEFUL IDIOTS IN THE SENATE from both the left and right wings of the establishment, keen to surrender our national sovereignty to political correctness and ever-growing globalist bureaucracies.
IF THE CRDP IS TO BE SUCCESSFULLY STOPPED, TODAY YOU MUST SHOUT AT THE GOP SENATE AND HOUSE CONFERENCES TO STAND FOR THE U.S. CONSTITUTION AND REJECT RATIFICATION AND FUNDING OF THIS ODIOUS TREATY!
Speaking about the swift schedule of U.N. adoption and broad membership ratifications, a lead representative noted: "By U.N. standards this is very rapid progress. However, the real work of implementing the Convention is still to be done," said Jennifer Lynch, Chair of the International Coordinating Committee (ICC) of National Human Rights Institutions.
Ms. Lynch advocates national human rights commissions to maintain a dominant role for CRDP. Under its auspices, a global disability rights database is being established, which will provide an internationally comparable source of information on disability and human rights.
The database will assist with the collection, analysis and reporting of disability complaints, compliance and other related issues to control OUR families' care and education. National human rights institutions from each of the ICC's four regional groupings – Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe – will be involved in the project. ICC Chair Jennifer Lynch said the database will have a range of practical applications "to promote social change by helping national institutions to more effectively monitor implementation of the CRPD…
…National institutions must do what they can to inform their governments and citizens of how the Convention can make societies just, equal and accessible for all."
If this convention is not stopped, the parents of an estimated 1.5 million home-schooled special needs children will be subjected to the scrutiny of international bureaucrats telling them what is in the best interest of THEIR children!
"The [U.N. treaty] would usurp the rights and powers of parents here in the United States to do what is best for their special-needs child by placing the law of the U.N. above the rights of the parents," said former GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum and his wife Karen in a statement. "It is the job of our elected representatives to preserve these rights, not hand them off to unaccountable international bureaucrats."
"If the Senate ratifies this treaty," their message says, "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. Please take the time to examine this treaty carefully." And then URGENTLY SHOUT at the Senate to vote NO!
Some
establishment Republicans remain unconvinced by conservative arguments,
claiming that the convention "offers a forum" for the United States to
influence other nations to recognize the rights of disabled individuals.
They insist the CRDP will help Americans with disabilities be protected
and accommodated while abroad.
But there are already MANY U.S. and international laws
to do just that! And as with other U.N. treaties, once approved, this
convention authorizes vast government powers inside our private sphere
of home and family life that cannot be contained, and that are inimical
to liberty! The CRPD will establish a treaty body composed of unelected
"experts" – the Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities that evaluates the compliance of state parties to the treaty every four years and issues recommendations for how they might improve and be brought into better compliance in
fulfilling their obligations – leaving wide open the opportunity for
the U.N. to broaden, redefine and expand the original treaty!
If
ratified, the CRDP will trump U.S. state laws, in effect becoming the
supreme law of the land under the U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause
in Article VI. It will also be used as a binding precedent by state and
federal judges! The U.N. will take over essentially every
aspect in the care and treatment of disabled individuals; vitiate our
laws, culture, and traditions of familial care – and stick us with the
bill.
Obama's Senate MUST be stopped
from ratifying this freedom-killing, sovereignty-strangling, U.N.
treaty! And the U.S. House MUST use its power of the purse to choke off
funding to this liberty-killing convention! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD, right
now, we can make sure the U.S. Senate does NOT have the 67 votes it
needs to ratify this travesty.
