Bob Corker Announces Opposition to CRPD

12/20/2013

0 Comments

 
Great news: Senator Bob Corker (R-TN), the Ranking Member on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, just announced that he cannot support the UN Disabilities Treaty (CRPD).  His colleague from Tennessee, Senator Lamar Alexander, announced his opposition as well.
Ultimately, I’m unable to vote for a treaty that could undermine our Constitution and the legitimacy of our democratic process as the appropriate means for making decisions about the treatment of our citizens.

Moving forward, Senator Corker's opposition to the treaty will serve as a significant barrier to ratification of the CRPD in 2014 and beyond.  We applaud Senators Corker and Alexander for their position protecting the Constitution, national sovereignty, and parental rights.
