I hope the senate will not vote in favor of ratification of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. After breaking my leg I can empathize a little more with people who do have disabilities and it is so important that we as a society do what we can to help them have a better quality of life. America is a passionate and giving county. We do not need to be told by the United Nations how we should take care of our citizens. We have been doing such a good job that people from around the world have come here to experience the caring and opportunities we have as citizens. We are a sovereign nation!
We should not ratify or align ourselves with any UN Convention proposals because in doing so we give up of our sovereignty to make our own decisions for our citizens. I didn't think the original intent for the United Nations was to be the Big Brother of the world?
