[Nfbf-l] treaty didn't pass

[Tara Prakash]

I disagree with Sheri's statement. First of, tea party people are not in 
power. There are just a troublesome minority. By next month we will 
definitely have two more votes with the new Senate coming to existence. And 
if the state affiliates work more aggressively on their senators, it 
shouldn't be difficult to have the treaty ratified. I am not sure if NFBF 
had a policy on specifically working on Florida senators, but when I am 
reading these past emails, I don't see any email from the NFBF board members 
on this issue. I have been out of  Florida for a long time, I may be wrong.

Secondly, the bigger problem is not the name of UN, it is the name of 
American with Disabilities Act. Tea party whole heartedly hates this law. I 
should say the shepherds leading this seemingly disparate movement hate the 
law. Rand Paul, and other libertarians have openly opposed ADA before. 
Ratification of this treaty will be another affirmation of ADA from the 
Congress. No ratification doesn't hurt anyone in  the US right now, but 
closer to the doom's day when tea party controls the government they may do 
away with ADA. In the absence of an international treaty bounding on the 
government in the US, they won't be required to reinstate this ADA kind of 
laws. Opposition of ADA fits the general tea party philosophy, or lack of 
any philosophy, ADA is just another government regulation which is 
burdensome and restrictive for businesses.
Here is an NPR interview with the one of the darlings of tea party.
