Subject: [Ohio-talk] Calls and Emails to Senator Portman needed

I received the following message from Jesse Harttle.

Please help us by calling and emailing starting on Monday.

 
     As you know we have been working with a number of groups on
ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities,
(CRPD).  Supportive Republican Senators have asked us to reach out to a
number of their Republican colleagues to help persuade them to join in
support of the CRPD as well. Senator Portman of Ohio is on this list, and it
would be helpful to get some calls or emails in to his office next week to
register support for the treaty.  I have pasted his staff contact on this
issue below. We should let the Senator's office know that this legislation
is supported by disability groups from around the Country, major Veteran's
groups such as the American Legion, and the United States Chamber of
Commerce representing American business. I would appreciate any help you can
provide on this matter, and would be able to answer any questions.  Thank
you as always for all that you do.  Jesse
