Vote For Sovereignty

This is Frank Gaffney with the Secure Freedom Minute. Yesterday, thirty-eight Republican U.S. Senators stood up to intense demagoguery and pressure from the Obama administration and others to protect our sovereignty and constitutional form of representative government. They voted against ratification of a seemingly unobjectionable treaty protecting the rights of the disabled.  The U.S. actually already has on the books the most sweeping guarantees of those rights of any country in the world.  But this convention would have subjected us to an international committee charged with telling us to pass new laws – and amend or overturn existing ones – at the federal and state levels. Yesterday’s vote has done nothing to diminish our support for the disabled.  It has, though, protected our constitutional mechanisms for providing that support – and set a precedent for dealing with other, similarly defective treaties now awaiting Senate consideration.
