Allow us to offer a few slogans Mrs. Finley can use in the next Federal Election: 'Standing Up against Two Tier Justice', 'Working Hard to Settle Land Claims', 'Listening to the Voice of the People' or 'Standing Up for the Rights of the People'

You see it's not that hard to create words, to spin the truth, to B.S. your way to gain votes - but where are the actions to support the Politicial B.S.? Well, we have prepared a list of Mrs. Finley's actions.

Last Sunday night when the Mayor showed up to see how the Natives were attacking the home of the 89 year old WWII vet - Diane was nowhere to be found.

When the Power Station was attacked, Diane was nowhere to be found.

When the bridge was burned down, Diane was nowhere to be found.

When the Seniors were swarmed, reporters attacked, Diane was nowhere to be found.

When parents met at the school last week, Diane was nowhere to be found.

Has Diane spoken out against Two Tier Policing - No.

Has Diane spoken out against OPP failure to enforce the Rule of Law - No.

Has Diane spoken out against the assaults, intimidation, the attempted murder, the destruction of property & vehicles - No.

How many times has Diane been on the Radio, TV or talked to the Newspapers to draw attention to the voters' concerns?

What has Diane done to help the people who have lost tens of thousands in property value?

What has Diane done to uphold the Charter of Rights where all people are equal under the law?

"We have made many calls to Diane Finley's office begging for her to show some patriotism and send us a few flags.  After much blocking from her secretary, we received a call indicating that we can call the Heritage Ministry office and ask them.  The number they gave me was a fax number.

Our local elected politician is afraid to attach herself to our struggle and show some Canadian Patriotism by simply offering a few flags.  We no longer expect her to help us or even show up, just send some flags and we will take it from there."

The Conservatives Believe you have no Choice but to Vote for Diane.

Dear Doug:

Now I understand you and I have not been the closest of political allies. In fact, during that last election campaign I hear you, the supreme commander, considered me to be a potential problem. Maybe you were right. I did not always seek, or gain, permission to speak my mind. I wrote my own election materials. I championed the middle class. But I won.

You are a brilliant tactician. I am a populist demagogue. You are already plotting the next Conservative election win. I am a lowly backbencher – just an MP, and yet curiously proud of it. You are blessed by the party, and I probably am not. But it’s still my party, and I have been a Conservative my entire life – an MP twice, minister once, hell, even a national leadership contender.

My parents were everything the grassroots of this party stands for – workers, donators, constituency organizers. My brother and sister both sought Progressive Conservative nominations. My brother was an advance tour guy for Bob Stanfield. I bummed a ride to Ottawa and ate lunch with John Diefenbaker when I was twelve. I grew up, mobilized thousands of people, and led them to Parliament Hill two decades ago to take on Trudeau.

And today I am an MP again. This time with an agenda steeped in conservative values but topped with two simple promises I made a few months ago, when you were on the airplane leading the troops. I told people I would work for them first, party second. And I said I’d do the right thing, as I saw it, every day.

I hear you are planning things. So, I think you should return my call.
