[Nfbmo] CRPD fails to pass in U. S. Senate

Cory,
   According to a story in the Huffington Post, the treaty can be  brought 
up for another vote in the next Congress, so this isn't over.

Dear Dan and  all,

I do not know the answer to the question posed below; however,  will pose 
it 
to folks who would probably know.

Also, for those who  are "friends" with me on facebook (if you aren't, you 
can look me up by  typing my e-mail address:  cory.j.mcmahon at gmail.com into 
the facebook  search box), I just posted a link to a video of the rally 
that 
I attended  today at Senator Blunt's office. In addition to attending, I 
was 
fortunate  enough to be asked to be among a select group of individuals who 
spoke  with Senator Blunt's Representative.

Sincerely,

Cory  McMahon

P.S. You're welcome, Dan!
