Support a national child care act

[jason]

Ex-Lemmingworks. ##.

A private members’ bill that takes child care from patchwork to program needs your support. Take action today by emailing your member of parliament.

Bill C303, the Early Learning and Child Care Act, will help build child care through a law like the Canada Health Act. The NDP- sponsored bill directs federal funds to high-quality programs that are universal, accessible and accountable.

If your MP is a member of the opposition, they need to know Canadians are counting on their support as the bill moves to a vote on second reading on Nov. 22. Tory MPs need to hear from their constituents that their “plan” for child care won’t help Canadian children and parents.

Email your MP today. There’s a sample letter, but add your own comments to be sure your letter has an impact. Form letters to MPs don’t get noticed. The upcoming vote is a free vote, so pressure on individual MPs is especially important.

Earlier this year 100,000 Canadians signed an open letter supporting a pan-Canadian child care program. Let’s flood the Hill again. Don’t forget to spread the word in your family, workplace and community.

OT: Hi.......

[dracschick.livejournal.com]

I saw you on my LJ buddy annef's flist. I read some of your LJ and thought it was interesting so I friended you. I'm 36 and have been a huge Dracula fan for over 20 years. My other interests are Phantom of the Opera (since '89) and the anime/manga Hellsing. Feel free to read my LJ, Dracula stories and friend me back:)

Take care,
Chris

OT... hi yourself. You sure are a chronic (said in the nicest way). Drac and fanfic... dangerous drugs. Don't post much vampirological on this LJ, mostly pedagogical, cause it's my job. I'm sure you know the bloofer. She and I (more she than I) co-edit the Journal of Dracula Studies, and that's how I got to know Annef.

You might like my video, shot of Bloofer's cat Quincy P. Morris (aka The Mighty Q, Prince of Softness) http://youtube.com/watch?v=uTZzMpcPics

Thanks for friending me.........

I do appreciate it:)

PS----I like the cat name. Very catchy:) Unfortuately, I have dialup and cannot do video/audio files.

eeek. dialup! Oh, the tragedy of it all. :)
It takes me back to my first modem, it was 300baud.
I assume you have 56,000baud which is the slowest.
Someday you can see the mighty Q.
