Dear Mr./Ms. Senator,
As your constituent, I am writing to urge you to reject any attempt to ratify the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. (CEDAW)
Not only does the committee overseeing implementation of CEDAW argue to legalize prostitution, it also discourages motherhood in an attempt to level every kind of distinction between men and women at every level of society. Yet some members of the U.S. Senate have suggested they may ratify this radical group's proposition before the UN-something every Presidential administration has refused to do.
5 years ago, the CEDAW Committee rebuke Slovenia because 'less than 30 percent of children under three years of age..' were in formal day care. Then, in 1999, the CEDAW Committee criticized Ireland for its consitiution promoting 'a stereotypical view of the role of women in the home and as mothers.' The list goes on and on.
Believe it or not, CEDAW even found fault with the country of Belarus for the 'continuing reintroduction of symbols such as a Mothers Day.' And now some Senators want to ratify CEDAW.
Despite their professed goal to end gender discrimination, the group is obviously anti-family and anti-mother. Their agenda is an offense to family values and should be rejected outright in the upcoming Senate hearing, and any subsequent votes in the full Senate.
Thank You.
God bless all the Mom's out there tomorrow..
