  Tell my MP how I feel

Submitted By:   ideasinforum
Committers:  8
Date Created:  2009-06-12
Description:   If your municipal, provincial, or federal Government is planning to do something you don't like, tell them! Your MP (or MPP or MLA and even your Mayor, Premier, and Prime Minister!) are supposed to represent YOU, their constituent, not necessarily their party. You have the right to voice your opinion on an issue and they have the responsibility to listen... USE IT! Even a short, well written email can do the trick. It's also always good to end it with, "thank you for representing the voices of your constituents in Parliament". It's a good reminder of what their job is!

  To exercise my right to vote whenever I can!

Submitted By:   Ashley78
Committers:  65
Date Created:  2008-05-15
Description:   The right to vote is a privilege. By voting we express our opinions, participate in our society and help to determine our future. People have fought, sacrificed their freedom and their life, all to gain the right to vote. I will not let this privilege go to waste. I promise to vote in every election and have a say in how my country, province and city are run.
