We get emails

Or rather, we get forwarded emails that have been sent to some large number of emails Liberals . From the Inkless emailbox:

If your family is anything like mine, you don’t always agree with each other. Sometimes you fight, and I’d be willing to bet that no one knows how to push your buttons the way certain members of your family can.

But when the chips are down, most of us turn first to our families for support and encouragement. And at times like that, families set their differences aside and pull together to fight for what’s right.

We Liberals are a family, too. And we sometimes have our differences. But we are united in our belief that government should protect its citizens – all of them – and that the magnificence of Canada results from its diversity, rather than in spite of it. We believe that prosperity and social justice go hand-in-hand and that the global climate change crisis must be addressed with immediate action.

Those Liberal values are under attack in this election, and now is the time for our entire Liberal family to pull together and fight back. As my Liberal brother or sister, I’m asking you to help me now.

I am tremendously proud of the campaign we are running, of the team we have fielded and of the principled leadership of Stéphane Dion. With the united support of all Liberals, we can and will win this election and create a richer, fairer, greener Canada.

The alternative is more of Stephen Harper’s Conservative ideology, intimidation and iron-fisted dismantling of the Canada we know and love. Do you really want more of that? I don’t think so.

Yours in Liberalism,

Doug Ferguson,
President
