United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)!

From Rick Santorum:

Thank you for all you are doing to rally against the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD)!  Your commitment to fight this treaty is now more critical than ever.

Yesterday, Karen and I -- along with our daughter Bella -- joined with U.S. Senator Mike Lee of Utah and Michael Farris of the Home School Legal Defense Association for a news conference calling on the Senate to NOT bring up this flawed treaty.

And just like that, Senator Harry Reid announced that he will bring this treaty up for a vote this week.   

CRPD, if ratified, threatens U.S. sovereignty and parental rights, and would effectively put the U.S. under international law when it comes to parenting special needs children. One provision in the treaty would give the government, acting under U.N. instructions, the ability to determine for all children with disabilities what is best for them. 

I don't know about you, but I believe that in America, that is the parents' job, certainly not the government's. 

Furthermore, the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities does nothing to improve the rights of the disabled in this country. Our country already meets or exceeds the U.N. standards, and contrary to reports, passage of this treaty will do NOTHING to give disabled Americans or any disabled person traveling in a foreign country greater protections or rights. 

What this treaty does do is make American laws subservient to the United Nations.  It is flawed, it is wrong and we should not see this in the United States of America.

In light of Senator Reid's decision to bring this treaty up this week, we need you tocall the Capitol switchboard at 202-224-3121 and ask to be connected with your senators.  Tell them you are strongly opposed to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities and if it comes up for a vote, please vote NO!   To find a list of all senators, please click here.

And if you haven't already done so, please visit our CRPD page and sign our petition to take a stand against this flawed treaty. 

Thank you for all you doing!  We will fight this until it is defeated.

Game on,

Rick Santorum

The Kline-denigrating tweets of Sarah Peterson Kerr (outed last night by Operation Rescue) reflect the culture of abortion corruption that has long plagued Kansas as well as a deep, dangerous and pervasive animus towards Kline among the legal authorities in this state."

Our Disenfranchised Troops Deserve Better - Michelle Malkin - National Review Online

Our Disenfranchised Troops Deserve Better - Michelle Malkin - National Review Online: "Veterans’ groups and soldiers’ advocates have warned about military disenfranchisement for years. M. Eric Eversole, director of the Military Voter Protection (MVP) Project and a former litigation attorney in the Voting Section of the U.S. Department of Justice, reported that “more than 17,000 military and overseas voters were disenfranchised in 2008 because their ballots arrived after the deadline and had to be rejected.”

That doesn’t include the thousands more whose ballots never arrived or arrived at their bases too close to the election to be returned. The total number of troops affected this year could be more than double or triple that because of the relocation of nearly 70,000 military personnel out of Iraq and Afghanistan over the past year."

It's Time for Republicans to Embrace Conservative Candidates Read The Circle Game by Lowman S. Henry

The Circle Game  By Lowman S. Henry

           After the longest and most expensive election cycle in American history we are

. . . right back where we started. President Barack Obama has been re-elected by a narrow margin - even more narrow than his 2008 victory over John McCain, Democrats will continue to control the U.S. Senate - although holding less than the magic 60 votes needed to move legislation; and the GOP has maintained, even increased its hold on the House of Representatives.

           Voters have opted to gridlock the federal government. Given President Obama's razor thin 2.5 million vote win in the popular count, and the GOP's failure to capture control of the Senate, Congress will continue to be polarized and paralyzed. Thus in the coming weeks as the nation faces a series of critical fiscal tests including raising the debt ceiling, dealing with the expiration of Bush era tax rates and the need to enact a 2012-2013 budget, the national government will be deeply divided.

           In the wake of Mitt Romney's defeat, pressure will be on Republicans to cave and compromise. They should not. This election was not a repudiation of conservative economics. If anything it was a continuation of the deep, even division among the American electorate that was ushered in at the beginning of this century when the 2000 Presidential race ended up essentially tied.   The re-election of President George W. Bush hinged on a few thousand votes in Ohio; the movement of less than a half million votes in a few key states powered Barack Obama's victory in 2008; and, less than 100,000 votes in three or four key states decided Tuesday's election.

          Thus voters have been remarkably consistent over the past four presidential elections. The big swings have come in the composition of Congress, with Democrats affecting wave elections in 2006 and 2008, and the GOP staging a historic resurgence in 2010. This year, voters appeared to have sated their appetite for legislative change and embraced the status quo.

          The 2012 election was not an electoral repudiation of either party, rather it served as validation of each.   In short, there is no consensus among the electorate on a way forward. Under those circumstances we should not expect our elected officials in Washington to arrive at one. Republicans were put in office by their voters to rein in government spending and reduce the federal deficit. Democrats embraced a tax and spend approach and have been rewarded by their constituents. It is unlikely either side is going to back down because to do so would be to alienate the very voters who sent them to Washington in the first place.

          In the days and weeks ahead the failure of the GOP to capture the White House amidst dire and deteriorating economic circumstances will be the subject of much discussion, debate and finger pointing. But, Republicans should resist the urge to be swayed by denizens of the Left who will claim the party's historic conservative economic principles caused that failure. It did not. Mitt Romney was never a disciple of the Right and his rejection at the polls was not a rejection of conservative principles.

          In fact, perhaps the time has finally come for the national GOP to realize that nominating moderates for President simply does not work. Despite the fact he performed admirably throughout the campaign, Mitt Romney was never an effective spokesman for the conservative wing of the party. Aside from a pivot to the Right in the early primaries he did not try to be. He was nominated in an effort to appeal to independents and to moderate voters. In the process, the GOP did not develop the bold sharp contrast needed to convince the broad electorate to fire a failed president.

          This is the fourth time in recent decades this strategy has failed. George H.W. Bush in 1992, Bob Dole in 1996, John McCain in 2008, and now Mitt Romney in 2012 all fit the moderate mold. All lost. Ronald Reagan and George W. Bush flew the conservative flag, and won. With Barack Obama the Democrats were not afraid to embrace their party's left-wing ideology. They won because they stood for something, just like Reagan and George W. Bush did in achieving their victories. The GOP sacrificed its core message and lost.

          And so, here we are back where we began. Hopefully - finally - some lessons will be learned. As we move forward, Republicans in Congress must embrace the GOP's core ideology, start drawing those bright lines of distinction and put together a strategy for effectively communicating it to the American people.

It's All about the Supreme Court

Will the day ever come when human life is respected and
protected by law from the moment of conception?  That depends
on who gets to name the new members of the Supreme Court
in the next four years.  Most Americans pay little attention to
politics and many are still unaware that abortion is legal through
all nine months of pregnancy.  ABORTION is the absolute
right to kill a child in the womb up to the moment of birth, for
any or no reason at all!!!  Most Americans are also unaware of the
fact that unborn children feel pain Operation Rescue’s President

Troy Neumann recently wrote about the Supreme Court:  “The
appointment of one or more new Supreme Court Justices…. is
almost certain to happen in the next four years because of the
age and/or health of several of the Justices.”   Neumann wrote.
“Here are the facts, once again, about the current Supreme
Court line-up...Ruth Bader Ginsburg (proabortion) is 79 and has cancer.
Anthony Kennedy (pro-life to ‘moderate’) is 76.  Antonin Scalia
(pro-life) is 76.  Stephen Breyer (pro-abortion) is 74.Clarence
Thomas (pro-life) is 64.  Samuel Alito (pro-life) is 62.  John Roberts
(pro-life) is 58.  Sonia Sotomayor (very pro-abortion) is 58 and Elena
Kagan (radically pro-abortion) is 52.” Neumann said.  “As you
can see, there are at least four members of the Court that could
(or should) be retiring in the next 4 years. So if even one of them
retires in the next 4 years, whoever is President will be able to forge
the destiny of the United States regarding abortion. Since the
recent Supreme Court cases that  have challenged Roe have come in
consistently at 5-4, just one of the pro-abortion Justices needs to be
replaced with a pro-life Justice... and it’s all over for Roe v. Wade.”
Neumann believes.   Neumann points to the fact that former
Justice Thurgood Marshall in his published memoirs, explained that
on quite a few occasions, Roe v. Wade was very close to being
overturned by the current Court, to bolster his position.  The two
Supreme Court Justices named by Barack Obama are Sonia
Sotomayor who is very pro-abortion and Elena Kagan who is
radically pro-abortion Should Obama be re elected, many more
millions of unborn children will be killed by abortion   for many
years to come as Obama will inevitably name justices who share
his pro-abortion views.

Congressmen Lou Barletta and Tom Marino Represent Conservative Values

From the Daily Item regarding Congressmen Lou Barletta and Tom Marino:
Marino and Barletta campaigned as outsiders who pledged to represent conservative voices inside the Beltway. They have appeared as blocking linemen in the goal line stance against runaway spending. Message received.

To that I also want to add, they continue to strongly support pro-life issues.
