My letter to Senator Coburn regarding the confirmation of David Ogden as deputy attorney general

Honorable Senator Coburn,

Please vote against the confirmation of David Ogden to the position of deputy attorney general. His stance as to how UN treaties affect states rights is a threat to our national sovereignty. Most case law that I have read about has upheld that the intent of the constitution in regards to treaties is limited to trade, however there are many progressive who are pushing for the idea that by adopting treaties they can effect create law that is binding over every state. Putting our country under the thumb of an international court system that we as a people have no control over.

One treaty that Ogden supports is the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which is a direct assault on parental rights. The treaty basically puts the choices a parent would typically make for thier child in the hands of the child or the state, and takes the will of the parents out of the picture. This is immoral, unacceptable, un American, and people in support of such ideas must not be allowed positions of power within our governement.

Sadly, since our country has drifted so far from it's founding, the only real solution is to create a constitutional ammendment providing for the rights of parents. Our forefathers found this unecessary since it was obvious to them, however as a society we have drifted to the absurd and now must meticulously spell out even those rights our founders believed were so apparent they need not even be named.

Please use your power on the judiciary to protect the rights of parents and our national soveriegnty by rejecting Mr Ogden from this post.

Sincerely,

Dax Ewbank
