Dear Dana,
We are coming down to the wire! It now appears that this month is the make
or break time for the U.S. Senate to take up the UN Convention on the
Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
Our champions in the Senate are working hard to garner enough votes to
approve the CRPD. Key decisions are being made this week about whether or not
to go ahead with votes on the treaty. We need to convince five more
Senators to approve the CRPD before it will be brought for a vote.
This is where you come in. Senators need to hear from their constituents
that we need to maintain America’s leadership in the world on disability
rights and we need to participate in the CRPD so the good progress we have
made here under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) can spread to other
countries. Help us secure all the votes to ratify this important treaty
this year!
* TAKE ACTION: _Please contact your Senators TODAY and ask them to
vote to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with
Disabilities_

We are SO close.
Sincerely,
Katy Beh Neas
