| Dear Friend, The U.S. Senate has not ratified a major multilateral treaty since 1997. Global Solutions has launched the "Stop the War on International Law" campaign to change this. We are up against a well-funded opposition, and the only way we can win is to get political in the halls of Congress and on Election Day. Join the Action Network - Create the world you want. Despite the major role the U.S. has played in crafting the Women's Equality Treaty (CEDAW), the Law of the Sea Treaty, the Disability Treaty, and more, we repeatedly fail to uphold our proposed values and actually sign onto these agreements. This damages U.S. credibility, economy, security and global leadership. The "Stop the War on International Law" campaign is just one of the ways that Global Solutions Action Network (formerly Citizens for Global Solutions) works for a better and more secure future. As the legislative arm of the GlobalSolutions.org community, it is where we build relationships with members of Congress and engage them on critical global issues. I invite you to join the Global Solutions Action Network today and continue to help us carry out your agenda in Washington. At a time when our interconnected world more than ever needs clear rules to live by, some senators are pandering to an isolationist Tea Party base. They are hurting our nation, our world, and our future. Will you become part of the Network to stop this? As a member of the Action Network, in addition to participating in cutting edge campaigns, you will receive: strategic election information from the Global Solutions Political Action Committee; the Global Solutions 2014 Congressional Report Card; invitations to special Action Network events; a vote for who is on our board of directors; access to advocacy trainings and national webinars; conference calls with global policy experts; and much more. There is not much I can say to a lawmaker that's more powerful than "our members in your district believe..." And then they hear from you too! If you share our vision of a world where nations work together to abolish war, protect our rights and freedoms, and solve the problems facing humanity that no nation can solve alone, please join today! There is strength in working together. Sincerely, Don Kraus, President and CEO PS: Texas Senator Ted Cruz has made a case in the Harvard Law Review that "the President, even with Senate acquiescence, has no constitutional authority to make a treaty with a foreign nation that gives away any portion of the sovereignty reserved to the states."
