ACTION ELECTION FRAUD: Compel Conservative Party to Disclose Records to #EC - Letter |

Please use as is, or modify.

Subject: Elections Canada and its investigation
Importance: High

May 16, 2012

Dear Opposition leaders:

I wasn't aware until today that Elections Canada has not issued a production order to legally compel the Conservative Party to hand over relevant records and is instead relying on voluntary disclosure. http://bit.ly/JLmfRw

What we know about the Conservative Party is that disclosure, even necessary disclosure as in the instance of the F-35 procurement or the costs of Bill C-10, is not its strong point.

What we know about Elections Canada is that the Chief Electoral Officer was hand-picked and appointed by Stephen Harper. We also know that the Chief Electoral Officer cut a deal over the electoral fraud that took place in 2006, so none of the Conservative Party members who stood to go to jail actually did. And we know that Elections Canada has kept secret the rulings it has made on the 2,982 complaints it has investigated across the last fifteen years.

I am not confident in the will of Elections Canada to properly investigate the electoral fraud of 2011 and apprise Canadians of their findings, so I ask you today to once again call for a fully empowered, transparent public inquiry to delve into this sordid affair and report back on it.

Such a call might have the added benefit of reminding the Conservative Party of the need to conduct everyday parliamentary business according to democratic principles and processes. It seems that every day, they transgress without a whole lot of nuance to it.

Sincerely,

Be sure to email them all separately!

Here is some suggested text. Use it, or write your own. Above all, please be respectful.

Dear Honourable XXX,

When the vote on banning asbestos was called, you had the courage and strength of character to abstain. I respectfully ask that you not participate in the upcoming Budget vote -- call in sick instead. 

The gutting of 50 years of environmental legislation will have profound implications for the health and safety of Canadians. There is quite simply no justification for ramming sweeping changes through in an omnibus budget bill. Please defend our democracy and insist that the environmental provisions be separated from the Budget, discussed in the appropriate committees and thoroughly debated in the House.

Sincerely,

A Nation With Vision!

We the people of Canada wish to serve notice to you; the United States of America, China and the European Union, that we live in a democracy that gives the people of this great nation the ultimate say on whether we will ratify or reject all agreements that have been made with you that have not received the support of at minimum, a Real Majority of all eligible voters in this country!

Stephen Harper, you too are being served notice, that your agreements; whether the Perimeter and Security Agreement, Security and Prosperity Agreement, Free Trade Agreements with other countries that are currently being entered into without full disclosure to the Canadian electorate, will be subject to the acceptance of at least 2/3rds of all sitting Members of the House in a free and unwhipped vote in the next Parliament of Canada! You promote democracy around the world! Canadians will be given a chance to exercise it through the Gathering Will of a Real Majority of the people! We must always accept the judgement of the people, and honour the decisions of the people who make the right decisions provided they are given full disclosure on matters before the nation!

In clear conscience we cannot allow a government which has received only 40% of the popular vote of the people to enforce a mandate that was not clearly communicated to Canadians by the Conservative Party of Canada!

As you are preparing for the next General Election, let it be known that whether we have 308, or 338 federal ridings in the country, there will be one non-partisan Courageous Canadian who will stand in each riding and serve the Will of a Real Majority of his/her constituents, their national Vision and a Mandate of and by Canadians.

You will have a chance to meet them when every seat in the House of Commons will be occupied by men and/or women duly elected, who will take the Stand for our national sovereignty, and deliver the democratic and economic authority to the most important SHAREHOLDERS, every citizen of this great Canadian nation!

The Spirit in this country is what calls us to serve the freedom of Canadians in truth and in justice!

Change is coming!

VOTER FRAUD COURT CASE - CANADA ELECTION 41

Dear Friends,

Voting Matters.

Whether it's Election Day in our community or a vote in Parliament or City Hall, every legal vote must count.

Last year, something went wrong during our federal election. As we have read in the papers and seen on the news, many Canadians, Etobians included, were targeted with lies and dirty tricks, as bad actors attempted to rig our election. Sometimes voters were misled and misdirected so as to take away their right to vote. In other cases, the voting at polls was disrupted.

In Etobicoke Centre, among other things, it is possible that some people voted twice.

Last June, to get to the truth, I took on the fight for our democratic rights. Using my own resources, I challenged last year's election results in Ontario's courts.

On Monday, April 23, the case I have brought forward on behalf of the people of Etobicoke Centre, and all Canadians, will be heard commencing at 10:00 a.m. in Court Room 806, 393 University Ave., Toronto.

If you would like more information about this important issue, please contact my team. 

Because your vote matters.

Why Harper had to win a majority in Canada, rules or no rules.

There's a global chess game unfolding right now and it's going to pit the Western Alliance of North American countries, Eurozone and Australia against the Eastern and emerging alliance made up of the BRIC countries.

Back in June 2008 China called for a world currency; China snubs U.S. dollar! Calls for new world currency maybe even the Euro to replace the dollar.

"In November, concerns about some EU member states' debts start to grow following the Dubai sovereign debt crisis. In December, Greece admits that its debts have reached 300bn euros - the highest in modern history." (exerpt from Timeline: The unfolding eurozone crisis )
Coincidence?

The Euro will not replace the dollar and Erozone countries start on a downward spiral economically. Governments are voted and/or undemocratically  replaced by - Conservative governments.
Coincidence?

France, UK, and other like minded leaders take control. In 2011 Canadian elections tactics were employed to make sure there is no alternative than a majority Conservative Harper government.
Coincidence?

Obama will lose the 2012 US elections.


BRIC expands . . . 

Meanwhile Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) strengthen by admitting South Africa and are now working to have their own World Bank/IMF model.

Leaders from the world's five largest developing economies — the so-called BRICS — are moving toward the formation of a shared development bank.
Coincidence?

The world is reshaping in geopolitical ways. China and India continue to buy Iranian oil Obama embargo or not. China is opening up new trading routes and markets with resource rich Russia and trade between the BRIC countries reaches record levels.In a move to insulate themselves from the Euro-Zone debt crisis and to boost trade amid slow growth in the West, the Heads of State signed several agreements aimed at facilitating trade.

The group also slammed the West for their lax in monetary policy and for causing instability in global financial markets, statements that drew flak from several influential commentators. The participants of the summit also proposed setting up a Brics-specific bank modeled along the lines of the World Bank and of the International Monetary Fund.


What about our children? . . .

Our kids will grow up in a world very different than the one we knew. Do you think a new arms race will be far off? The Western alliance conservatives do not want to play with anyone else but like minded people so isolation and confrontation is preferred over co-operation. We the people are mere pawns and pawns are expandable.

LEGAL ACTION IS BEING TAKEN TO OVERTURN 2011 CANADIAN ELECTION RESULTS

HOW CAN YOU HELP?

To All Canadians,

We're taking the fight to expose election fraud to the next level – and I urgently need your help.

You've likely heard news from our press conference on Parliament Hill earlier this week where we made a major announcement. The Council of Canadians is now supporting legal actions to annul the election results in seven federal ridings.

These are legal actions brought by several courageous Canadians, regular people like you and I, who are stepping forward with evidence of fraudulent activities they encountered during the 2011 federal election. They are bravely exercising their rights under the Canada Elections Act, which empowers individuals to contest the election results in their riding if there were "irregularities, fraud or corrupt or illegal practices".

Regardless of political stripes, we can all agree that any attempt to deliberately interfere with an individual's fundamental constitutional right to vote cannot be tolerated. And where that right was denied, it must be legally restored.

These fraudulent election activities are a harsh reminder that as Canadians we cannot take the integrity of our democracy for granted. Neither our individual democratic rights nor our collective responsibility to defend them ended on Election Day May 2, 2011. True democracy is a 24-7 pursuit.

Today, I am proud to announce the Council of Canadians has launched the Democracy 24-7 Legal Fund to raise the funds necessary to pursue justice for all voters who were affected. Court challenges can be long and costly, and we need to raise $240,000 now.

I'm asking you and all concerned Canadians across the country who believe there was election fraud to contribute. Your donation of $24 (or as generous as you can be) to the Democracy 24-7 Legal Fund will help to support these 7 legal actions and the Council's work moving forward. Can I count on you?

If you are active on social media, please help spread the word too!

Imagine, if 10,000 Canadians each contribute $24, together we can sustain this fight to expose election fraud and begin to restore the integrity of our Canadian democracy that has been stolen.

I know you agree this is a fight worth fighting. With your gift of only $24 you will be part of groundbreaking actions that may lead to changes on the current political landscape and the way Canadian elections are run and regulated in the future.

We simply can't allow election fraud to go unchallenged. Please give to the  Democracy 24-7 Legal Fund today.

With thanks,
Garry Neil
Executive Director
The Council of Canadians

CANADIAN ELECTION FRAUD DESERVES EQUAL REPORTING - CONTACT MEDIA


The budget is coming out the same day that the Electoral Chief will speaking to Parliamentarians about Elections Fraud, Robocalls, Election Suppression - Thursday, March 29, 2012. However, the media seem to be only promoting the Budget Release. The Elections fraud needs equal promotion and reporting.

MPs summon elections watchdog to talk robo-calls on budget day

It is my belief that the election fraud deserves equal if not more attention than the budget.


Contact the CBC: http://www.cbc.ca/contact/
Call CBC: 1-866-306-4636

[This is letter can be used in part or whole or modified.]

To Whom it May Concern.

I have seen your promos for reporting on the upcoming budget on Mary 29, 2012. I have not seen your promos for the upcoming Chief Electoral Officer coming to speak to the MP's on March 29, 2012 regarding the fraud and election robocalls and vote suppression.

The scandal around the 2011 Elections will be in history books. Illegal fraud has been committed with our 2011 Canadian Election. Canadian Democracy and the right to a fair vote has been attacked. This is wrong. This is being reported world-wide. Canadians send delegations to other countries to supervise and ensure that those countries conduct fair and Democratic elections, and yet our own election of 2011 has been corrupted. This needs attention.

This scandal is not going away and Canadian media needs to continue reporting on it - Radio, Local and National TV broadcasts. This is monumental that the Chief Electoral Officer is investigating 7000 contacts of fraud. This is monumental that the  Chief Electoral Office is coming to speak to the MP's.

I would hope that the Chief Electoral Officer to committee would receive MORE if not equal attention and reporting on your Radio and TV Broadcasts, as the budget will. The budget happens every year. It is not every year that Canadian Elections are dogged by fraud which has been committed by the party members currently in power. This is news!!

Please balance your reporting about the Elections Fraud and the Chief Electoral Officer with reporting on the budget on March 29, 2011. Please balance your promotion of these two upcoming newsworthy events. Thank you for you attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
[Name, Address, Postal Code]



UPDATE:  March 27, 2012
Thank you to everyone who participated in this campaign. I believe your emails & calls had impact. I believe that the CBC graciously listened. Today, Evan Solomon's Power & Politics had a panel to discuss the upcoming court actions being taken by citizens. He also announced the on his show today, that they would be covering the Chief Electoral Office attending the committee and speaking with MP's on Thursday, March 29, 2012

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Second Rally to Protest Voter Suppression in 2011 Federal Election

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 23, 2012

In response to Democracy Canada’s call for a second day of action to protest voter suppression in last year’s federal election, concerned citizens in Kelowna will be meeting on Saturday, March 31, at 1:00 at The Sails. The previous day of action on March 11 saw people from 32 cities in Canada converge to call for a public inquiry into the robo-call affair.

Thirty-one thousand Canadians have reported irregularities in the last election, and 700 incidents are under investigation by Elections Canada. While some like to portray the misleading robo-calls as trivial and characteristic of the dirty tricks that all politicians take part in, harassing voters at odd hours of the day or night and deliberately misleading voters by telling them to go to incorrect or non-existent polling stations is not a case of politics as usual. Harassing voters and misleading them are voter suppression techniques and they are unjust and illegal.

Jean-Pierre Kingsley, a former chief electoral officer at Elections Canada, has called the scope of the illegal robo-calls unprecedented and says that jail time should definitely be considered if the allegations can be proven. The allegations must be dealt with swiftly and transparently because they erode our democracy and cast real doubt on the legitimacy of the Conservative’s claim to a majority government. Regardless of who might be behind the scandal, protecting democracy is a non-partisan issue.

According to a recent Postmedia News poll, 75 per cent of Canadians support a call for an independent inquiry with judicial powers to look into the robo-call affair. Prime Minister Harper has countered by saying that Elections Canada is invested by law to investigate and must continue in its role. But Elections Canada will not obtain all of its promised new investigative powers for at least another six months, when required legislation might be passed. Moreover, Canadians have seen with the in-and-out fraud of 2006 how seriously and for what length of time Elections Canada can become bogged down in acrimonious litigation, right up to the Supreme Court. For these reasons, Canadians need a public inquiry into the Robocall fraud, and we need it today.

In Kelowna, the second ‘Get Fraud Out of Parliament’ rally will cross over in time and place with a ‘Costs of War’ peace gathering organized by the Kelowna Peace Group. Organizers of each event see an obvious affinity between those who seek justice and those who seek peace. The peace gathering is, like the protest rally, the second event of its kind to fall within the month of March. On March 3, peace activists gathered at The Sails to call for peace in the Middle East.

Election Corruption: The Conservative Story Keeps Changing.

The story keeps changing. 
by Red Forneri 

How many more excuses and versions of the story are Dean Del Mastro and his buddies planning to throw up there in an effort to seed confusion and misinformation about what happened?

Stop lying. Stop stonewalling. Turn all your records over to Elections Canada. Support the creation of a Royal Commission to get to the bottom of this before you completely exhaust every possible excuse you can go through.

And for Dean Del Mastros' sniveling about people jumping to conclusions?!? Give me a break!

This government would rather be bent on protecting the conservative party rather than protecting the core fiber of the very thing that is Canada.
  • Democracy
  • The Right to Vote in secret ballots in free and fair elections.
  • The Canada Elections Act
  • The Charter of Rights and Freedom.
  • The Constitution


CONSERVATIVE ROBOGATE EXCUSES AND COUNTING...
  1. It was a rogue junior staffer, 1 week on the job, was blamed and fired, AMERICAN Michael Sona
  2. They then blamed Pierre Poutine.
  3. Calls, what calls? There were no calls... it is all being made up by the Liberals, they are just sore losers.
  4. Then came the US call centers that the liberals used. Turned out these were most entirely conservative.
  5. The NDP did it the opposition is making baseless attacks
  6. Then it was Vikileaks and tell Vic everything!
  7. It was a smear campaign.
  8. Conservative party had "absolutely" and "definitively" no role in any of the calls.
  9. It was just an isolated incident.
  10. There weren't enough calls to actually influence the election results.
  11. It is the fault of unnamed "third parties"
  12. It is all the press's fault for pushing a non-story.
  13. Liberal Party must open their records so we can prove it was them accidentally calling their own voters - but the Conservatives have no reason to open their records. 
  14. It is Elections Canada's fault for providing bad information to the parties. 
  15. After that it was voting using utility bills
  16. And then, revelations about late voting with false addresses.
  17. Yesterday this is acknowledged to be a MISTAKE!
  18. Today - recycled campaign volunteers in Guelph facing charges?

CANADIANS WANT INQUIRY INTO ROBOCALL SCANDAL

Hi folks. 
Here's a letter you can send out to Harper and all the MPs. 
(via Dianne Varga)


Dear Prime Minister and Members of Parliament:

It should be clear from the numerous rallies that happened in cities across Canada this past weekend, Canadians want answers about the Robocall scandal and the many other complaints surrounding 2011 electoral processes that were studiously ignored by Elections Canada when they were lodged. From coast to coast, Canadians called for an independent inquiry into these matters.

According to a Postmedia News poll conducted last week, 75 per cent of Canadians support an independent inquiry with judicial powers to look into the Robocall affair. Those Canadians cannot be said to be involved in “baseless smears” such as the opposition is accused of doing. Canadians are simply calling for a rigorous inquiry, an inquiry with teeth.

While the Prime Minister is correct when he says that Elections Canada are busy investigating right now and are invested by law to do so, Elections Canada will not obtain all of their investigative powers for at least another six months, when related legislation might (or might not) be passed. Moreover, Canadians have seen with the In and Out scandal of 2006 how seriously and for what length of time Elections Canada can become bogged down in acrimonious litigation, right up to the Supreme Court.

I hear the voices all across this country saying that whether or not the election was stolen, this affair must be investigated fairly, fully, and without delay. I call upon you to establish an independent inquiry with judicial powers, or indeed a royal commission, and to do so immediately.

Sincerely,
(Full Name)
