                              This is it. The Senate is voting today on the 
                              Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities at 12PM ET.

                              You have accomplished a lot with your calls, demonstrations, visits, and more. Thank you!  We were outnumbered yesterday, but we made a dent. Thanks to all of your actions, we were able to have demonstrations and press activity in our target cities -- and we are seeing movement as a result!  

                              But, we are not quite there, so this morning please continue to take action!  The following Senate offices are counting calls-- so KEEP THEM COMING!  This is the final PUSH!
