I received this this morning...I did it...changed it a bit and said at the end that passage of the bill would result in a lost vote...and if my addys in this one don't even tell me!
In the past few weeks,
over 110,000 Canadians have spoken out against the government’s reckless, dangerous, and ineffective Secret Police Bill C-51.1
Stephen Harper knows that opposition to his bill is growing fast, so he’s trying to ram it through Parliament before Canadians can stop him.
The final vote will be held very soon – so your MP needs to hear from you right now.
Use our online tool to send a message to your MP. It’s crucial we each send our elected representative a message right now before the final vote in Parliament.
MPs are back in their ridings, so this is the perfect time for people across the country to tell them to do the right thing, and vote on behalf of Canadians against Bill C-51.
All our efforts are driving us towards a ‘Week of Education’ April 13-20 that will see thousands of Canadians speak up and educate their friends, neighbours, and MPs about how Bill C-51 will endanger our privacy and our fundamental democratic rights.
With just days before the final vote, we need to act now. Take a moment to send your MP a message they can’t ignore.
Letters to MPs are highly effective: no MP wants to stand against their constituents, especially in an election year. If we can get enough people to contact their MPs, we can put a stop to this bill before they head back to Ottawa.
There
’s a lot at stake: if Bill C-51 passes, you won’t need to have anything to hide to find yourself under the government’s microscope.
We can still win this, but we need to act now: please, use our tool to tell your MP to listen to Canadians and vote against this reckless legislation.
This is the most effective thing you can do at this moment.
I hope I can count on you.
For our rights and freedoms,
–Josh, on behalf of your OpenMedia team
P.S. We’ve had a few highly-engaged supporters to test the tool for us, and MPs offices have already been writing back to say they are feeling the heat. Let’s make sure they can’t ignore Canadians - send a message to your MP right now.
