Former Senate Majority Leader and 1996 Republican Presidential Nominee Bob Dole, disabled serving his country in World War II, came to the Senate floor today, in a wheelchair, to lend his support to the American ratification of the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.  Only eight of the U.S. Senators of the Grand Old Party voted to ratify the treaty.  Thirty-eight Republicans having voted against, the two-thirds majority needed for ratification was not reached.
