President Barrack Hussein Obama is set to sign the Convention on the Rights of People with Disabilities on July 24th, 2009. There are many greatly important ramifications contained in this convention; I have only begun to understand them. When I first began to read this lengthy document, the first thought that crossed my mind was, 'Finally! We will finally gain the recognition and rights that we deserve in America!” As I continued to read through the convention, I was stunned at the clarity and thought that has gone into the production of this convention. The points covered in it are incredibly valid, giving people with disabilities the very respect, honor, and place in societies they deserve.
