Friends,
I’ve spent almost three decades in politics, so I know when a government is trying to hide something from the public.
Right before the Olympics, Stephen Harper introduced radical changes to Canada’s election laws. He did it without any real consultation. And then he shut down debate in Parliament to ram it through quickly.
Conservatives don’t want you to know what they’re up to, but New Democrats are fighting hard to make sure your voice is heard. We’ve launched a new website and petition, and already more than 10,000 Canadians have signed on to fight back against the Unfair Elections Act.
Join them today. Add your voice now.
The so-called “Fair Elections Act” is anything but fair. It will weaken your democratic rights. It makes it harder for thousands of voters to cast a ballot. And it will help big money influence elections with new spending loopholes.
We led a three-week long filibuster at committee. We’ve been mobilizing support across Canada by making phone calls and writing hundreds of letters to local newspapers. And soon we’ll be hitting the road for a series of public consultations.
These voter suppression tactics come straight from the U.S. Republican playbook. And it’s all designed to give Stephen Harper the advantage in 2015.
That’s why our leader, Tom Mulcair, has been crystal clear: we have to stop this.
Together, we can save your vote and stop big-money from influencing politics.
