I know they claimed it was because it was redundant. They claimed it would encourage the United Nations. The truth is that it had no ways of being enforced. It was entirely symbolic.
The Disability Treaty was just to tell every disabled American and those that love them how THEY MATTER AS A PERSON! It was to encourage other countries to also help their disabled and also realize that they are still people!
Even John McCain, Scott Brown and Lisa Murkowski voted FOR it. Bob Dole pleaded with them to ratify it.
BOB DOLE!
I know most remember him now as hawking Viagra but he was also a Senator; a Republican senator capable of supporting civil rights issues and measures to help the poor.
I admit it, in our 8th grade mock election, I voted for him over Bill Clinton.
Bob Dole knows more about war and disability than most of congress combined. When the treaty didn't pass, he cried.
THEY MADE BOB DOLE CRY!
assholes
We should use the Nay list and get them all unelected as soon as possible...ooh, Jim DeMint has resigned so 1 down, 37 to go...
