Messages:  "The CRPD is coming to a vote this year! The disability community
supports the CRPD and it is important to have your vote!
Senator, will you support the disability treaty?"

Remember:

·        Ratification of the CRPD costs NO additional funds and
requires NO change to U.S. law.

·        Ratification of the CRPD extends U.S. global leadership on
disability rights.

·        Ratification of the CRPD protects Americans with disabilities
who travel, work, study, or serve abroad.

·        Over 250 American disability organizations, 21 veterans
organizations, and 26 faith organizations SUPPORT the CRPD!

Want more information about the CRPD?  Visit the U.S. International Council
on Disabilities http://www.usicd.org/index.cfm/crpdupdates.
