The Equal Rights Amendment was sent to Congress in 1972 with a seven-year time frame to get 38 states to ratify it. The goal was not reached and an extension was approved by Congress. That second goal was not reached and, at that time, the supporters of the ERA agreed it was dead. However, in today’s crazy world it has been resurrected and its proponents are saying they only need three states to ratify it in order for the ERA to become part of the US Constitution – totally ignoring the deadline has passed twice and five states have rescinded their original approval!!
Action Alert: Dangerous UN Treaty to Be Voted On
According to Senator Reid the Senate will vote to ratify the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) by the end of the week. If this treaty is ratified it will become the supreme law of the land. This United Nations treaty will undermine parental rights and our very Constitution. U.S ratification of the CRPD would subject our domestic law to United Nations standards and oversight.
