Posted by Alan Robberstad on 6/22/2004, 9:28 pm, in reply to "Don Crawford to run as an Independent Reformer in Dufferin-Peel-Wellington-Grey-Caledon for MPP 2004" Paul Martin is no friend of mine. Since 1993: That is my story since the Liberals came to power. I am not voting for Paul Martin's Liberals. I am voting for Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party. Do I like the Conservatives? Until now. Now I am going to say something! In 35 of the past 37 years, Canada has been ruled by: The leader of the Conservative party, Stephen Harper, is: Stephen Harper says that the Conservative party will: That's good enough for me. But wait! The Liberals have had 34 years to be financially responsible. 34 years! And now Paul Martin says he'll stop taxing and spending. No way. Thank you for reading my story so far! Why am I telling my story to you? Although I feel alone, I know that I am not alone. Here is my idea: How can you and I fight a huge political machine? You and I have two things that we can use: The Internet is supposed to be this global zing tool, right? I have 27 Canadians in my personal e-mail address book. Vote for the Conservative candidate in your riding. I have probably written this e-mail too late. Please, forward the e-mail RIGHT NOW!! As I type these last few words the voting begins in less than 18 days. This may not work. Alan Robberstad
Hello.
My name is Alan Robberstad
I am a Canadian.
One voter out of millions of Canadian voters.
Liberal governments have not made my life any better.
Liberal governments have made the future worse for my children.
Jean Chretien and the Liberal Party became Prime Minister many years ago.
Guess who was the Liberal Finance Minister.....Paul Martin...LEST WE FORGET!
(1) My taxes have increased.
(2) My family's share of the national debt has increased.
(3) My personal expenses have increased.
(4) My waiting time to see a doctor has increased.
(5) My concerns for my family's safety have increased.
(6) My costs to educate my children have increased.
(7) Government interference in my life has increased.
( My personal debt has increased.
(9) My income has stayed more or less the same.
(10) My savings have decreased.
(11) The buying power of my dollar, in Canada, has decreased.
(12) The value of my dollar, in the U.S., has decreased.
(13) My trust of elected officials has decreased.
(14) My trust in the justice system has decreased.
(15 )My trust in the immigration system has decreased.
(16) My hope that a Liberal won't waste my tax dollars has decreased.
(17 )My dreams for a better future for my kids, in Canada, have
disappeared.
I am voting against Paul Martin and his Liberal Party on June 28, 2004.
Not particularly......I don't really like Politics.
I am not political by nature.
I am not passionate about politics.
I am a middle age guy (4.
I live in a small house on a fairly quiet street in Edmonton.
I have a wife, Kathy, and two children (ages 19 and 17).
I have no pets.
I am a middle class man.
I don't usually say too much.
(1) Pierre Trudeau - a multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec.
(2) Brian Mulroney - a multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec.
(3) Jean Chretien - a multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec.
(4) And now we are going to vote for Paul Martin???? - a
multi-millionaire lawyer from Quebec???
(1) Not a lawyer.
(2) Not a multi-millionaire.
(3) Not from Quebec.
(1) Reduce my taxes.
(2) Pay off the national debt as fast as they can.
(3) Shrink the size and influence of the federal government.
I'm going to give the Conservative party a chance with my vote.
Paul Martin is now saying the same thing.
My mother told me forty years ago: "Fool me once - shame on you. Fool me twice - shame on me!"
Remember, Jean Chretien was Trudeau's Finance Minister.
Remember also, Paul Martin was Jean Chretien's Finance Minister
These people have been raising my taxes for thirty four years.
They have been mis-spending my tax dollars for 34 years.
Your story may be similar to mine.
And you may also feel alone.
One small voter in the midst of millions of voters.
What can you and I do together to change things?
Lets you and I join up together.
Just you and I.
Together.
As a small team of two.
(1) Our individual personal connections.
(2) The Internet.
Let's put it to use.
I am sending this e-mail to each of them.
I'm asking you to do two things:
(1) Forward this e-mail to every Canadian in your own address book.
(2) Vote against Paul Martin and the Liberal Party on June 28.
As I said I am not politically adroit.
I feel like Peter Finch, in the 1976 movie "Network",
when he shouted: "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!"
432 hours till voting begins.
I hope the Internet is as fast as some people claim it is.
This e-mail may "fizzle out" and go nowhere.
But you and I will have tried, won't we have?
My best wishes to you.
My best wishes to Canadians everywhere.
My thanks to David Stokes from Toronto
He actually wrote this just (5) days before the last federal
election in 2000.
Fool me once - shame on you.
Fool me twice - shame on me!"
