Dear Tyler,

This email is a passionate
 plea to Mr. Portman to vote for the CRPD when it comes up again for consideration in the Senate. By the grace of God and the wisdom of the Congress, disabled people in the United States have the rights by law that underpin freedom and equality. Even so we have problems. But those with disabilities in the developing world face oppression of a kind and degree that we in the US cannot imagine.

Major disability organizations of all types in the US support this treaty as does the Chamber of Commerce. We need Mr. Portman’s support. Thank you for conveying the views of the National Federation of the Blind of Ohio to him.

Cordially,
Barbara Pierce
President Emerita
