Dear Sam,

Never before in Canadian history has a governing party chosen to
vilify its citizens for the offence of commitment to our environment.
The Prime Minister has made it clear he regards the determination of
Canadians to oppose oil tankers on the BC coast and piping bitumen
crude out to the US or China as anti-Canadian activity.

The attack has included demonizing charities receiving money from US
charities to oppose the pollution of Big Oil. For years, Canadians
have donated generously to protect the Amazon or to save rare tigers.
But when other countries' citizens donate to help Canadians protect
our precious eco-systems, Stephen Harper acts as though the effort is
a threat to national security.

The tactics of the Harper Conservatives are chilling. They combine
suppression of dissent, with conflating the "public interest" with the
profits of foreign oil companies. We need to speak out clearly. The
national interest requires addressing the climate crisis, establishing
energy security and diversifying energy sources.

As the only elected leader of an Opposition party in the House of
Commons, I am very grateful for your help. Support now [2] will help
us spread the word and improve our ability to get the word out at the
grassroots.

Please take a moment to donate time (go to www.keepkyoto.ca/en [3]
to sign our petition) or write letters to the editors of newspapers
across Canada. Please make a donation [4]for as much as you can afford
to help us function after the significant reduction of our resources
due to the removal of public financing through the per vote subsidy.

Do not lose heart. We may be in the fight of our lives, but we can
revive democracy. We can restore Canada to the place of respect in the
world which we once held. It is possible to mobilize effectively and
force a change in the dangerous course Stephen Harper has set for our
nation.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Elizabeth May, O.C.

Member of Parliament, Saanich-Gulf Islands
