Subject: MP Junk Mail Vote Tomorrow
To: backtoeden.ontario@gmail.com
Tomorrow, March 16, all Members of Parliament will vote on a motion to end the most offensive aspect of MP junk mail.
Known as "ten percenters" in Ottawa, the CTF has long stood against this wasteful and abusive practice, particularly when MPs mail partisan propaganda to constituents that aren't even their own! All at taxpayers' expense of course.
Last week at a national press conference the CTF awarded the junk mail sent by our federal politicians its federal Teddy award for government waste.
This motion is being put forward by the Opposition. Rumour has it that the Bloc are also poised to support the motion. It is imperative that members of the Conservative and NDP caucus support this motion as well to ensure its passage. Please send an e-mail to the NDP and Conservative (A to F, H to O, P to Z caucuses urging them to end these junk mailers. Alternatively, you can contact the leaders of all four parties (Conservative, Liberal, NDP, Bloc) as well as your own MP urging them to support the same.
This issue has come to a vote in the House of Commons because the Canadian Taxpayers Federation is standing up to make our voices heard. Your contribution ensures we can continue to grow and increase our impact!
