National Association of the Deaf (NAD) and CDR have come so far in the movement towards ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, and if everything goes right, we are just a few days away from a final vote.The battle for the UN Convention on the Rights of People With Disabilities is the first test since the recent election to see where our elected officials stand on issues of importance to the Disability Community.  How these eight Senators vote on CRPD is a good indication of how they will handle the “fiscal cliff” as well as other legislative issues in the coming year.Are they with us or against us?

These eight Senators are key to passing CRPD.  Using the link below, e-mail them to tell them not to give in to idealogues.

[Note: because of technical constraints, we had to break this up into TWO different alerts.  The webpage below has the links for both alerts.]
