[Nfbf-l] Fw: Fwd: Fw: Urgent Calls Needed by Thursday 7/26!

[David Evans]

Dear Jody,

Give me a break?

This has nothing to do with taking the power away from any country and 
placing it in the hands of the UN.
It is an effort to get backward countries to treat People with Disabilities 
with some dignity and common sense.
This country, and a few other industrialized countries are the only ones 
where the disabled even have Rights.
In some foreign countries, today, you are a second or third class citizen if 
you have a disability.
This means that you are treated with no regard as a person.
I have personally seen this behavior and know people who have come from 
other countries where you are not allowed to leave your yard without a 
"keeper,' or someone to be responsible for you and your conduct.
In the Middle East, you are treated like the "crazy old aunt" that is kept 
locked up in the basement.  No one , outside of the family is allowed to see 
you or talk to you.
You are hidden from society, not allowed to marry or have children and the 
family is ashamed of you.  .
If you have a physical disability, such as being in a wheelchair, there are 
no rights to access.  There are no curb cuts in China, no accessible hotel 
rooms, stores ,shops or factories.  Ask the members of the Para-Olympic 
Games that when to China for the last Olympics.
If you are allowed to work, it is in a sweat shop and only covers your room 
and board, nothing else.
You have no Rights to protest any treatment you get, including beatings or 
sexual abuse.
By being a signature to this treaty, we can hold other countries accountable 
and pressure them to change their ways and conduct toward the disabled.
The treaty will effect the U.S. very little as we already have the ADA and 
Rehab Act to protect and promote access and humanain treatment of the 
disabled.
In several foreign countries, especially Asia and the Middle East, disable 
children are forced to under go sterilization or just die or be quietly 
killed, or they are used in the "tourism sex" trade.
The treaty doesn't give any power to force another country to do anything it 
doesn't want to do.
It does allow the signature countries to set model standards of treatment 
and accessibility to make living conditions better for People With 
Disabilities in housing, employment, medical treatment and civil rights.

This stupid Right Wing view of everything that government does is wrong 
headed and begs the question, "What kind of human being are you?"
If you are not for humane treatment, universal access and the Right of Self 
Determination for the Disabled, then you are for enslavement, political, 
economic and sexual exploitation of the Disabled.  Where do you stand?

I am calling both our Senators today and telling them, to bring it to the 
floor for a vote and then please vote for the treaty or don't expect any 
support from me at election time and that goes for their party as well.

David Evans and GD Jack.
