ACTION ALERT
Canadians for Equal Marriage
November 25, 2004
Act Now! ANTI-Equal Marriage Bill Update!
Last week we told you that Parliament may soon vote on legislation
to restrict marriage to heteroual couples. Private Members'
Bill C-268, introduced by Rob Moore, (Con) for Fundy, NB, would
define marriage as "the lawful union of one man and one woman
to the exclusion of all other persons".
Thanks to you, over 700,000 e-mails have been sent to MPs
through the Canadians for Equal Marriage (CEM) website.
What an impact this has had!
Even though a Parliamentary Subcommittee ruled last week
that the bill was unconstitutional, and therefore not eligible
for a vote, CEM learned shortly afterwards that a deal had
been made in August that would have seen this ruling
overturned on an appeal by Rob Moore to the Procedures
Committee. But thanks to all of our efforts, we convinced
MPs this deal didn't apply to C-268!
Today, in a dramatic turn of events, MPs on the Procedures
Committee upheld the ruling that Bill C-268 is unconstitutional
and therefore non-voteable. Today, we proved that together
we can make a real difference!
But the Anti-Equal Marriage Bill is not dead yet. Rob Moore
still has one week to appeal the ruling to the entire House of
Commons. If he succeeds, then the bill could still become law.
It's too close to call.
That's why we're asking you to keep spreading the word and
contacting MPs to let them know that they should not
support this unconstitutional bill.
Opponents of equal marriage are still lobbying MPs in support
of this legislation. Focus on the Family is still mobilizing
thousands of equal marriage opponents to email and call
their MPs in support of Bill C-268. We need to make sure
that theirs is not the only message that is heard.
If Parliament passes Bill C-268, it will be legal chaos, and
our right to marry will be in jeopardy across the country.
Now is the time to keep up the stream of e-mails to MPs,
telling them to uphold the Charter and the Canadian values
it represents by voting down Bill C-268.
Please contact your MP now!
E-mail your MP from our action website: www.equal-marriage.ca.
Just click on Step 1: MP Action, and go from there. You
don't need to know who your MP is. All you need is your
postal code and our action website will find your MP.
In addition to e-mailing, please call your MP. Their phone
number is also listed on our action website. Our experience
shows that MPs pay most attention to phone calls.
Please tell your Family and Friends!
We must continue to flood MP offices with emails and calls
telling them to vote down Bill C-268. This Bill flies in the
face of the Charter and in un-Canadian! Click on Step 4: Invite
a Friend where you can send equal marriage supporters an email
asking them to visit the CEM website and
contact their MPs.
Thanks in advance for your continued fast action!!

I just tried to go to the equal-marriage site, and the Ottawa Public
Library computer system told me I had performed an illegal operation
and my internet connection would be shut down -- it did.

That reminds me of my landlord on Quadra Island who was using the
computer for he first time and got an "illegal operation" message. He
panicked thinking he had inadvertently broken some law and unplugged
the computer.
What is means is the CPU tried to execute a calculation type the CPU
did not have built in. It is a sign the computer programmer screwed
up in some way -- in other words Microsoft.
You American perverts have killed over 50,000 Iraqi children
and also maimed, tortured and raped many more.
Read Matthew 25:40 for Christ's sake!
