APC is now offering you a quick and easy way to multiply your efforts and help win more battles! Simply click http://www.referralblast.com/rblast.asp?sid=5906 to send this APC Action Alert to up to TEN of your friends! It’s fast, it’s easy, and most of all, it’s extremely effective in KILLING LEFTIST POLICIES!

After sitting in the dustbin since Jimmy Carter was president, Democrats have resurrected The United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW). It was recently passed in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and now awaits a vote by the full Senate.
It must be stopped.

CEDAW is a thinly veiled attempt by the United Nations to influence the policies of independent nations—including the U.S. Article 17 of CEDAW creates a panel of 23 "experts" (read: global governance bureaucrats) to monitor compliance of the treaty. If ratified by the U.S. Senate, CEDAW’s panel of U.N. THUGS would have the ability to scrutinize U.S. laws, and lobby for every feminist pipedream you can imagine. CEDAW has already begun lobbying for legislation in countries that were foolish enough to ratify the treaty. Just what are CEDAW’s concerns? Take a look:

-

abolishing Mother’s Day

- creating quotas and affirmative action

- establishing government-paid, global village daycare

- population control and abortion

The United Nations has no business concerning itself with the laws of sovereign nations! It is unfathomable that the Senate Foreign Relations Committee would surrender U.S. sovereignty AT ALL, much less to satisfy a radical feminist social movement within the U.N. CEDAW must be stopped!

**Action to Take**

1. Call President Bush and urge him to unsign the CEDAW treaty. White House: (202) 456-1111.

2. Because the Senate is currently in recess, you can make a HUGE IMPACT! Contact BOTH of your Senators in their district offices and DEMAND that they vote against CEDAW. Attend town hall meetings and write letters-to-the-editor of local newspapers urging the Senate to oppose CEDAW.

I truly wish I was.

"Senator, you plan to vote for CEDAW?
You're kidding, right?"

[goldstategop]

If you like Kim Gandy telling federal and state governments what to do, you'll love CEDAW. Tell the Senate to vote it down!!!

Cool. Maybe Concerned Women for America (CWA) has some good numbers for Washington on their site.

So did you take out the "UN-NOW attacks".... part?

[stimulate]

Thanks for the information.

[Ragtime Cowgirl]

The "UN-NOW" angle I just thought up. It is good. I like this one, too....think I'll use them both:

"Senator, you plan to vote for CEDAW?
You're kidding, right?"
(^:

It really is too easy. You have to be both un-American and power hungry (on a globalist scale) to vote for this garbage...and confident that the (globalist) press will never tell the American voters the truth.

The left hates free speech, and property rights, but the left loves Big Brother, and tyrants like koffi annon.
