[Nfbmt] Reminder: Fwd: [State-affiliate-leadership-list] Urgent Action needed on Tuesday November 27, for the CRPD

[d m gina]

Hi again,
I called both numbers, and the first one they looked me up found my 
address and everything like that.
The second one said that he would share and was there anything else I 
wanted the senator to know.
I said that we want to keep our freedom as disabled persons, and hope 
this doesn't stop.
That I would be calling again I am sure.

Original message:
> I've checked back with both of our Senators, and neither office will
> divulge how they will vote. They still have it under consideration.

> So, please call the offices, leave your name, organization, and city
> and ask the Senator to vote for ratification of the Convention on the
> Rights of People with Disabilities, or CRPD.

> We need to push our Senators toward doing the right thing. Numbers are
> below, thanks!
> Dan

> and former Senator Santorum held a press conference yesterday to rally
> Senators against the treaty, so we must make our voices heard today.
> Members can be connected to the switchboard by calling 202-224-3121,
