SUMMER IS HERE AND YOUR MP'S EAR IS ONLY A STONE'S THROW AWAY FROM YOU!

This means your Member of Parliament is home and likely a short drive from where you are right at this moment! The main priority of your MP in the summer is simple: YOU. Their job over the summer recess is to connect with you and hear your heart on the issues you are passionate about. We encourage you to take advantage of it by giving their constituency office a phone call, setting an an appointment to swing by and see them and share your heart - it is easy and you will be surprised at how much fun it can be. Here are a few things you could talk to them about that will be relevant to them in the fall when they return:

ask them to support Conservative MP, Rod Bruinooge's abortion coersion bill which will protect women from being pressured or badgered into having an abortion if they don't want one (C-510 / click here to read more)

ask them to support Liberal MP, John McKay's bill that will put ethical regulations on Canadian mining companies overseas (C-300 / click here to read more)

ask them to vote in support of C-22 which will crack down on child porn on the internet (C-22 / click here to read more )

visit our Bills page for a few more idea

BOTTOM LINE: talk about whatever is on your heart...just talk about something. Your voice really does make a difference!
