Don't
bother calling the following Senators because they are already opposed to the
bill:
Angus;
Keon; Carney; Lynch-Staunton;
Cochrane; Merchant; Comeau; Plamondon;
Cools; Rivest;
Di Nino; Sparrow; Forrestall; St.
Germain; Gustafson; Stratton;
Kelleher; Tkachuk
The following Senators are in favor of the bill. I
have put their political affiliation in brackets:
L=Liberal, C=Conservative, IND=Independent. Notice how almost all those in favor of the bill are
Liberals. We should especially
target Jack Austin, who is the leader of the Liberals in the Senate:
Adams
(L); Joyal (L); Atkins (C); Kirby(L); Austin (L); Lapointe(L); Bacon(L);
Lavigne(L); Callbeck(L); Lawson(L); Chaput(L); Losier-Cool(L); Christensen(L);
Maheu(L); Cook(L); Mahovlich(L); Day(L); Mercer(L); De Bané(L); Moore (L);
Fairbairn(L); Morin (L); Ferretti Barth(L); Munson(L); Finnerty(L); Murray(C);
Furey(L); Phalen(L); Gauthier(L); Robichaud(L); Gill(L); Rompkey(L); Hubley(L);
Spivak(IND); Jaffer(L); Watt(L)
More importantly, we should also target the 2
Senators that abstained and the other Senators listed below that we not present
for the vote:
Corbin (L); Sibbeston (L); Andreychuk (C); Baker
(L); Banks (L); Biron (L); Bryden (L); Buchanan (C); Carstairs (L); Cordy (L);
Doody (C); Downe (L); Eyton (C); Fitzpatrick (L); Fraser (L); Grafstein (L);
Graham (L); Hays (L); Hervieux-Payette (L); Johnson (C); Kenny (L); Kinsella
(C); Kroft (L); LeBreton (C); Léger (L); Massicotte (L); Meighen (C); Nolin
(C); Oliver (C); Pearson (L); Pépin (L); Pitfield (IND); Poulin-Charette (L);
Poy (L); Prud'homme (IND); Ringuette (L); Robertson (C); Rossiter (C); Smith
(L); Stollery (L); Trenholme Counsell (L).
When
you call, you need only say 2 things
(if nobody answers, leave a message on the voice mail):
1.
"Hello, My name is John Smith, from Ottawa, Ontario"
2.
"I am calling to urge the Senator to please vote against Bill
C-250." (You don't need to
debate the issue)
If
the Senator happens to be a Liberal, then you add this 3rd sentence:
3.
"Also, please tell the Senator that this is a very important issue
for me
and I couldn't possibly vote for the Liberals in the upcoming election if
this bill is passed".
It takes less than 1
minute per Senator. Even an
introvert like me managed to do 40 yesterday.
Don't bother calling the following Senators because
they are hard-liners in favor of the bill:
Harb(L); Lapierre (L); Milne (L).
