Hello and welcome to this brand spanking
new website whose raison d'être is to engage Canadians
in grassroots initiatives, calls to action if you will. We
are Canadians - citizens, activists, politicians and others
who are alarmed about the direction this country is taking.
This site is not affiliated with any one group or political
party, and all are welcome to join us!
The catalyst for it was a wish to launch a petition campaign
to stop bills C51 and C52 dead - period! No amending. No tweaking!
Way too many of our elected representatives seem to have forgotten
who they work for and its high time we remind them who's boss!
So together let's raise our voices: "Hands off our natural
health freedoms and our civil rights and liberties!"
This is where we let them know that little brother is watching
them and if they don't sit up and fly right, It may very well
cost them their cushy job in the next election!
So, we hope you will join us in this endeavour and add your
voice to the growing number of Canadians who know exactly
what our Government(s) are attemping. And together we say
"enough!" Our freedom of choice in natural health
care is our constitutional right! Codex Alimentarius is definitely
NOT welcome here!
Right now there are online petitions on bill C51 circulating,
but we think that nothing beats a real paper petition with
real signatures on it! La pièce de résistance
is that we recently found out that each time there is a petition
with just 25 signatures from any one riding on it, your Member
of Parliament MUST announce it in the House of Commons! Yes,
that's right!!! They take paper petitions seriously because
each signature is apparently akin to 5,000 votes!
Of course, it is too much to expect any one person or group
to collect millions of signatures, but its easy for every
concerned citizen to get 25 signatures from people in their
neighbourhood or who live anywhere in their riding. As the
saying goes, "Many hands make light work."
The Proposal:
that concerned Canadians in every riding in this amazing country
print out petitions, hit the streets and collect a minimum
of 25 signatures.
The Follow-Up:
- We need people in each riding who
will act as the "point" person to receive all
the petitions.
- These people would be responsible
for delivering the original petitions to the MPs constituency
offices, having first secured copies stamped "received"
by the office (why not ask for the MP's office to make the
copies!)
Next, the stamped copies will be mailed
to the post office box below where we can decide the next
steps of what to do to get publicity and attention to the
initiative.
Getting Publicity:
Being grassroots, we're still working out all those details,
but it is thought that we can do an e-mail blitz to all all
MP's, Senators, Health Critics, Leaders of the Opposition,
the Prime Minister and the media. With ammunition in the form
of petitions from all over the country we will have options...including
for example a mass mailing to the Speaker of the House, or
a press conference. If you have any ideas or would like to
get in on the action - send us an e-mail. The most important
thing is that we all get started now - there is no time to
waste!
Should you have any questions, or wish to volunteer to be
a riding point person, send us an e-mail to:
We encourage you to join the cause - collect signatures for
your own petition page as well as encourage others to get
involved. Be creative:
- dress like a big bottle of Vitamin
C, go door to door and tell your neighbours about the bills
;
- write a song;
- make a video and put it on Youtube;
- post it on your Facebook profile;
- post it on blogs, social networking
sites, Kiiji and Craiglist;
- e-mail all your contacts;
- make posters;
- have a rally or a street party -
contact your local media!
Or come up with your own ideas to get
the word out. Let`s see what we can accomplish between now
and the first week of September. Be confident that you CAN
make a difference and be the change you want to see. After
all a snowball rolling down a hill gains momentum and gets
bigger and bigger as it goes! Who knows how big this action
could get!
Tell us about what you've planned and we'll post it on our
calendar so that other Canadian grassrooters know what you're
up to and to inspire others to action!
