>>> Thursday, 7/26, is a big day, but not in a good way.
>>> Here's why.
>>> On Thursday, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee will vote on a 
>>> treaty that would put us under international law when it comes to 
>>> parenting our special needs children.
>>> Yes, you read that right.
>>> In the United States of America, there is actually discussion about 
>>> adopting the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with 
>>> Disabilities (CRPD), which would give the U.N. oversight of the 
>>> healthcare and education choices parents with special needs kids make. 
>>> It is outrageous that the government could tell me and you what is best 
>>> for our children, particularly when they've never met the child.
>>> As parents of a precious special needs child, Karen and I have already 
>>> written to every U.S. Senator and are making calls as well to stop the 
>>> ratification of this treaty.
>>> But we can't do it alone. Please join Patriot Voices, the Home School 
>>> Legal Defense Association and others to help us stop the U.S. Senate 
>>> from considering this deeply misguided treaty.
>>> We need you to do four things to help us stop CRPD:
>>> • Please call your senator and ask them to vote NO on this treaty. Find 
>>> your senator's contact information here.
>>> • Please email your senator and ask them to vote NO on this treaty. 
>>> We've made this easier by providing sample email copy for you to use.
>>> • Please call the White House at 202-456-1111 and ask President Obama to 
>>> withdraw this treaty from the U.S. Senate now.
>>> • Please Tweet on our behalf: "Help stop ratification of UN Disabilities 
>>> Treaty #CRPD 
>>> http://www.flhef.org/component/acymailing/url/urlid-3521/mailid-97/subid-90 
>>> Contact US Senator today 
>>> http://www.flhef.org/component/acymailing/url/urlid-3522/mailid-97/subid-90"
>>> If this were to pass, CRPD would become the law of the land under the 
>>> U.S. Constitution's Supremacy Clause, and would trump state laws, and 
>>> could be used as precedent by state and federal judges. This treaty 
>>> would give the government, acting under U.N. instructions, the ability 
>>> to determine for all children with disabilities what is best for them. 
>>> It also would give the U.N. discretion over decisions about how we 
>>> educate our special needs kids, and could potentially eliminate parental 
>>> rights for the education of children with disabilities.
>>> Please join our fight and tell our Senators that this treaty has no 
>>> place in the United States of America.
>>> Thank you and God Bless for all that you're doing to stand with us!
