Thank you for offering to help spread the facts about FIPA in your community. Let’s get started right away with two things you can do…
1. Visiting MPs to counter Prime Minister Harper’s FIPA spin
On Fridays MPs are home in their communities. We’d like you to pay them a visit to let them know their constituents have the facts about FIPA, and we’re not buying into Prime Minister Harper’s spin — especially if you live in riding with a Conservative MP.
Visiting an MPs constituency office is easy. Here’s how:
(a) Find the address for their constituency office here.
(b) Print off these three key documents to take with you
- Professor Gus Van Harten’s point-by-point rebuttal of Prime Minister Harper’s spin
- Our FIPA fact-sheet
- A copy of The Hill Times ad we ran on Monday
(c) Head over to their office - with a friend if you can so it’s more fun - and deliver the documents to your MP. Hopefully they’ll be there in person if you go on Friday, but if not give them to their staff and ask them to make sure they pass it on to your MP, so they can learn the facts about FIPA.
2. Postering and spreading the word in your neighbourhood
We’re already reaching tens of thousands of Canadians online - but we need to quickly reach out offline in our communities to make sure all Canadians know the facts about FIPA.
Postering can take half an hour, or all day - you can do as much or as little as you like. It all helps. Just download the fact sheet on FIPA, make as many copies as you like, and put them up around your community… places like coffee shop notice boards, community centres, churches. If you like you could even go door to door and put copies in your neighbours mail boxes. (If you put them up in public just make sure it’s places where postering is allowed.)
Here’s the fact sheet link to poster and distribute offline: DOWNLOAD PDF HERE
