From email:
Dear Colleague,
If you have not done so yet, call the White House right now and tell them to "Un-Sign CEDAW."
(pronounced See-Daw, rhymes with Hee-Haw).
CEDAW (Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women) is the most dangerous treaty the US has ever considered ratifying. Some call it the ERA on steroids, or the ERA with a vengeance. CEDAW seeks to drive women from the home and to drive children into day care.
CEDAW seeks to eliminate Mother's Day.
Sounds crazy, but its true.
The CEDAW committee has
Pressured China to legalize prostitution
Pressured Kyrgyzstan to legalize lesbianism
Criticized Ireland for being too Catholic
Pressured Ireland to legalize abortion
Pressued Belarus to cancel Mother's Day
Pressured Libya to reinterpret the Koran to fall within CEDAW guidelines
Some in the US government are attempting to get us to ratify this treaty.
This must be stopped.
Right now, as we speak, the Bush Administration is determining its position on CEDAW. You can affect that position by calling the White House and saying, "Un-Sign CEDAW." (Rhymes with Hee-Haw). The number is
202-456-1111. They are waiting for your call.
Do it now!
And for added impact, email Secretary of State Colin Powell at
secretary@state.gov
and write, "Mr. Secretary, Un-Sign CEDAW."
Do these things right now.
THEY are deciding.
WE can stop the radicals right in their tracks.
Do it.
Call the White House at 202-456-1111 and email the Secretary of State at secretary@state.gov and tell them "Un-Sign CEDAW."
And tell all your friends. SPREAD THE WORD.
Yours sincerely,
Austin Ruse
President
C-FAM
By using the word "WE" are you saying you belong to a UN or UN NGO group?

Rumblings are leaking out of Washington that Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Joseph Biden (D-DE) and the Clinton holdovers in the State Department are conspiring to resuscitate the long-moribund United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). A hearing was scheduled for May 15 and then postponed, but the State Department has placed it on a list of acceptable treaties.
CEDAW is not acceptable, and George W. Bush's entire constituency is up in arms against it. It was signed by President Jimmy Carter in 1980 and Bill Clinton made an attempt to get it ratified in 1996, but no one rallied to support it except the Clintonista feminists.
The notion is downright ridiculous that American women (the most fortunate class of people who ever lived) should submit to a treaty that dictates uniform rules for 130 other nations (all of which treat women worse than the United States). But the whining feminists induce some men to do foolish things, and endorsing this terrible treaty is one of the most foolish.
Ratification of CEDAW would be craven kowtowing to the radical feminists, exceeded only by the treaty's unlimited capacity for legal mischief. It would be a massive interference with U.S. laws as well as with our federal-state balance of powers.
Even Edmund S. Muskie, when he was Secretary of State, admitted that this treaty applies "to private organizations and areas of personal conduct not covered by U.S. law."
His memo said that the treaty completely fails to take into account "the division of authority between the state and federal governments in the United States."
Article 1 purports to abolish discrimination against women "in the political, economic, social, cultural, civil or any other field." "Other fields"? Private relationships should be none of our government's business, much less the business of the United Nations.
lol
I immediately emailed Powell, and within seconds I got a canned response.
Thank you so much for the alert, madfly. I shall now follow through with my reps.
A colleague from Massachusettes emailed to say she called the White House and told the operator she was calling about CEDAW. The operator said, "You want it unsigned, right?" I would say, gentle reader, that our message is getting through. Keep calling the White House (202-456-1111) and tell them "Unsign CEDAW."
Let's have a Freeper-Ya-Ya-Sisterhood Campaign to blast the phones in DC to UNSIGN CEDAW.
We must do what we can so that little girls who want to be little girls can play dress-up and mommy like a lot of us did. Just as little tomboys can rough and tumble and do their thing, all being free from the Feminazi's and their plans for the innocent ones.
Faxes and emails too.
This was a www.sixtysecondactivist.com action item a couple of weeks ago. If y'all don't already subscribe, you should. They have pre-written responses on many conservative issues ready for email subscribers to edit or send as is. It is directly linked to congressional emails so they can be sent at the click of a button (just enter your ZIP code), or the letters can be printed out for snail mail.
I always email Byrd and Rockef***er which always burdens their office to reply. Usually I get canned response hard copy letters which waffle and don't identify a position. But, this time I was pleased to get John Boy's position on this horrible CEDAW UN POS for use as ammo for his challenger, Jay Wolfe. "Jay Wolfe - Our Values. Our Senator." "Retire Rockefeller. Give him his pink slip!"
"I call on the Senate, again, to ratify the United Nations Convention on the elimination of all forms ofdiscrimination against women ... it is, to say the least, an embarrassment that the United States has not done this...President Bill Clinton
Human Rights Day, December 10, 1996"...it is long past time for America to become party to the Convention on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women.
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright
March 12, 1997"Violence and discrimination against women don't just victimize individuals; they hold back wholesocieties ... Guaranteeing human rights is a moral imperative with respect to both women and men. It isalso an investment in making whole nations stronger, fairer, and better. "
From the official U.S. Government statement to the World
Conference on Human Rights, Vienna, Austria, 1993
On April 14, 1998, San Francisco became the first city in the United States to adopt and pass legislation implementing the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). This is a quick guide for those considering implementing CEDAW in your own city or county.
The most important job in the world.

It's been clear for some time now that the global socialist matriarchy, envisioned by those seriously radical feminists who swarm around the UN, doesn't have any men in it. The precise method by which men are eliminated is never discussed, but "masculinity" always seems to have disappeared. Those women are really creepy.
