LeadNow urges us to protest bill C-38
Today we’re writing because we want you to be part of a historic moment
for our country. By going to a 13 heroes action, you will help send a powerful
message direct to key Conservative MPs that Canadians expect Conservative MPs to
represent their constituents and stop the Budget
Bill.
We’ve created a powerful new way to bring your
voice into the House of Commons, and support opposition to the Budget
Bill. At each event we’ll take pictures of ourselves holding signs that
call for our MPs to be heroes, signs that call for the Budget Bill to be stopped
and split apart. Then we’ll post all of those photos onto a special web
page for our MPs in Parliament - and they will see your photos stream in on
their laptops and smartphones in the House of Commons as they test
their endurance and try to stop and split the Bill through the
night.
Stand against the Federal Budget
Bill
When: Today at 5:30pm local time in
most locations

If
you can’t make it to an event in person, you can still join thousands of
Canadians and send an urgent message to Conservative MPs that you want 13 of
them to defend democracy by stopping the Budget Bill, splitting it, and starting
over.

And
tonight, as the continuous voting begins, you can join us by taking a
picture of yourself with a sign, even just a piece of paper, that says “Heroes
Defend Democracy, Stop C-38”, and send it to photos@leadnow.ca. We’ll post it to
the 13
Heroes Live website along with photos from the rallies all over Canada, and
stream it into the House of Commons to support pro-democracy MPs in Parliament
at: http://heroes.leadnow.ca/live/
We
know many Conservative MPs have serious concerns about this anti-democratic
bill. Imagine them sitting through hours of tedious voting,
watching a wave of opposition to the bill pouring in from all across the
country. And, the opposition MPs who are fighting the bill will get a
huge boost to know that Canadians from coast to coast to coast are standing with
them.
If you like, you can also spread the word by posting your support
photo as your facebook profile picture, and adding a link to the petition, http://www.leadnow.ca/13heroes
so your friends can add their voice.
