Two posts tonight. The first is a call to action!

From: Concerned Women for America

“On Tuesday, Sen. Harry Reid (D-Nevada) had the Senate vote to begin the debate on the Senate floor on the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) treaty. As we expected, 61 senators voted to begin debate on this treaty. However, Sen. Reid has now pivoted away from this treaty to consider other legislation, while he tries to figure out which amendments to bring up and how to browbeat a few Republican senators to vote for the treaty.

So, while the CRPD is not currently on the floor, Senator Reid could bring it back at any moment. We need to continue to remind senators why this treaty is dangerous and should not be ratified!

U.S. law provides the highest protections for persons with disabilities. However, provisions in the CRPD could require changes to our laws in order to comply with the treaty. An unelected and unaccountable U.N. Committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities would have the power to review our implementation of the CRPD and urge changes to our federal and state laws to comply with the Committee's own interpretation of the Convention.

In addition to civil and political rights which are recognized in the U.S., the CRPD contains social, economic, and cultural rights that the U.S. does not recognize. Civil and political rights are included in the Constitution and tell us what the government cannot do to its citizens (like discriminate against us). The CRPD also includes rights that tell the government what it must do—such as free or affordable health care or adequate standard of living and social protection—which are not recognized in the U.S. Constitution.

The CRPD is designed to end discrimination on the basis of "disability." Yet, this treaty does not provide an explicit definition of the term "disability." Rather, it states that "disability is an evolving concept." With no clear definition or an evolving definition, ratification could cause a conflict between our laws and the Convention.

Act Now:

1) Thank the 36 senators who voted against taking up the CRPD during the lame duck. This is a great way to acknowledge their action and encourage them to maintain their position. Sen. Reid will be trying lure away some of these Senators to reach the needed 67 votes.

2) Call you Senators and urge them to vote against the CRPD. To find your Senators, please click here.

3) The following senators we have heard may be wavering. Please call them right away and urge them to oppose this dangerous treaty.

Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison (R-Texas): 202-224-5922

Senator Lamar Alexander (R-Tennessee): 202-224-4944

Senator Dean Heller (R-Nevada): 202-224-6244

Senator Mike Johanns (R-Nebraska): 202-224-4224

Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kansas): 202-224-6521

Senator Thad Cochran (R-Mississippi): 202-224-5054

Senator Joe Manchin (D-West Virginia): 202-224-3954

4) Senators Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) signed onto a letter not to proceed to the treaty during the lame duck session and they both disregarded the letter they signed and voted to consider it. Please call them and ask them to oppose the CRPD.

(Senator Brown is a lame duck Senator!—my addition)

Senator Scott Brown (R-Massachusetts): 202-224-4543

Senator Orrin Hatch (R-Utah): 202-224-5251 (See comment at end of the second post!—my addition)


Thank you for your help,

This is a dangerous and unwarranted treaty! We give away U.S. sovereignty! Call!

“‘There is a Civil War brewing in the GOP’ over abortion: Pro-life leader

BY BEN JOHNSON
Tue Nov 27, 2012 20:17 EST

WASHINGTON, D.C., November 27, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com)—If the Republican Party closes itself to passing pro-life legislation, it will signal the end of the GOP and the formation of a new, pro-life third party, a leader in one of the fastest growing pro-life ministries has warned.

‘There is a Civil War brewing in the GOP, and it’s not pretty,’ said Jennifer Mason, communications director of Personhood USA.

Over the weekend, 2008 Republican presidential candidate John McCain said pro-life conservatives should state their position on abortion, then ‘leave the issue alone.’ Elected officials, he indicated, should enact no new legislation to protect the unborn.

He and a host of GOP consultants have suggested the party downplay or abandon social issues in light of the 2012 electoral loss.

Mason said his comments ‘made me wonder: instead of dropping the abortion issue, why not drop John McCain (DUH!—my addition)?’

‘If McCain and his ilk are successful, we are looking at a major defection to a third party, and the ultimate death of the Republican Party (AGREED!—my addition),’ she added.

While Beltway insiders, long hostile to the party’s socially conservative base, pin Romney’s loss on statements by candidates like Todd Akin and Richard Mourdock, Mason says the blame lies with Romney’s mushy views on abortion.

She reviewed the former Massachusetts governor’s economic monotone from the primaries through the general election—skipping pro-life debates, refusing to sign pro-life pledges other GOP hopefuls signed, stating that no he had no pro-life legislative agenda, and running ads stating that he believed ‘abortion should be an option’ in the cases of rape or incest.

‘There is a lesson to be learned here. The old guard of the GOP is dying,’ Mason said.

She said while moderate candidates—figures from Ford and George H.W. Bush to Bob Dole, McCain, and Romney—are ‘unelectable,’ social conservatives are ‘without a leader.’

Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List, said McCain and others in the Republican Establishment should stop treating abortion as a political football.

‘We’re talking about defending vulnerable human life,’ she said. ‘If it’s not about that, it’s not about anything.’

Frank Cannon and Jeffrey Bell at NRO agree that ‘to hold pro-life beliefs while opposing any governmental action to protect the innocent unborn is not the position of a man of honor, which throughout his long life John McCain has always been.’

They said McCain’s advice to become ‘a pale social-issue copy of the Democrats’ would be counterproductive.

Refusing to ‘lift a finger on behalf of human life’ would tell voters that ‘whenever Republicans express a principle, it’s anyone’s guess as to whether we care enough to act on it.’

The SBA List said the effort by McCain and others to push pro-lifers to the party’s margins remind them of a quotation from Martin Luther King Jr.: ‘In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends (Is he really a friend? Does talking the walk but NOT walking the walk make one a friend?—my addition).’”

That Sarah Palin supported John McCain in his 2010 Senate race against a Tea Party candidate is one of several reasons why I will never support her for national office. I lived in Arizona when John McCain was a Senator. He would be as comfortable being a Democratic Senator in Massachusetts as he is being a Republican Senator in Arizona. He should have never been the Republican nominee in 2008 nor reelected in 2010! If I remember correctly, in 2012, Sarah Palin also supported Orrin Hatch over a Tea Party candidate!

I am posting tonight on http://christiangunslinger3.blogspot.com an open letter to the Republican Party that deals with this issue in more detail.
