These are comments from young people who signed the FreedomsDefenders.com "From America's Youth: Reject the UN CRPD" petition.
Victory: I'm not old enough to
vote, but you are. Please consider my future and the future of coming
generations by rejecting the CRPD treaty. Thank you. Kyla: I am against this treaty because it will take away parental choice on what is best for their child. | Nigel: Please, preserve for my generation the same freedoms you grew up with and enjoyed.
Elissa: This treaty won't help
Americans with disabilities. The US already enforces laws to protect
Americans with disabilities, including children.

Elise: I believe that parents
care more about their children with disabilities than the U.N. ever can,
and that the U.N. therefore has no right to take away the authority of
those who know best how to care for their children, who are those
closest to them, parents and grandparents.
