Sister

A little over a month ago my little sister and her husband got a piece of mail from concerned parents of Canada (or something very similar to that). The piece of mail was disguised to appear as if it was coming form our MP. When she read it she found it to have language stating how the new legistration on gay Marriage will ruin the values of her children. The piece of mail continued on with several unsupported statements and in the end was a horrible little bit of literature based on opinion and had no concrete facts in. My sister took it as Hate mail and took it upon herself to write into her MP expressing her opinion and extreme displeasure that Canada post would allow the delivery of such a piece of mail.

The result:

A press release from her MP. Stating he does not endorse this campaign, as well a note saying that after several months of deliberation he will be voting in favor of gay Marriage rights. He mailed this press release to my sister and with was a letter explaining that he was thankful that this matter had been brought to his attention and that apparently my Sister was not the only person who was malcontent with the campaign. My sister and her husband were very content with the responce. My roommate (who happens to be gay) was pleased with the results as well. Big sister is proud of little sister.

Way to go Kim

That's great that they took it upon themselves to do more than just complain among themselves. The reason why the right-wing hate groups have so much more power than their actual numbers is because they are very active. If the rest of us were to get up off our asses and speak our minds when they try and spread their filth we could shut them down pretty quickly.
 
PS. Good on Shawn Murphy for having a backbone. Now on to the rest of the Island MPs.
