The fight for Canadian democracy

To all Conservative Senators:

As citizens concerned about our democracy, we call on you to amend all that’s wrong with the “Fair Elections Act.” The bill is an outrageous effort by the Harper government to fix the next election by disenfranchising countless Canadians. Your initial recommended changes of April 10, 2014 are a good start. But when the bill comes to the Senate we ask that you not only ensure all those recommendations are integrated, but that you also amend the bill’s remaining terrible provisions, including the ban on vouching and voter information cards. You have proven your willingness to stand on principle before, and your actions now can help protect the fundamental rights of Canadians.

The fight for Canadian democracy

There’s nothing “fair” about the so-called “Fair Elections Act.” It’s an outrageous move to fix the next election by silencing hundreds of thousands of voters, and removing protections against electoral fraud. But we can stop the bill in its tracks if enough of us take action in the next few days.

The bill tramples on the voting rights of the most vulnerable, like seniors, students and low income Canadians. And the Conservatives are dead set on ramming it through the House of Commons. But amazingly, Tory senators are starting to push back-- already 8 of them have spoken out! In 2013 they stopped a Conservative bill attacking unions, and now we can get them to act to protect our democracy.

Senators will decide on the bill in days -- let's send a deafening message to key senators now, and when we reach 100,000 we’ll launch a massive media blitz in Ottawa and run personalized ads calling on them to protect our right to vote. Sign now!
