BILL C-6 D-DAY?

A QUESTION OF FREEDOM.

The deciding vote for Bill C-6 will be held by Senate this week.

The Monday December 14th vote was postponed.

This means that Canada can continue making sure Senate knows
that they must think independently and not be forced or asked to
vote to 'toe the party line'. Senators must be allowed to consider.

The week of Monday December 14 2009 will be the decisive week.

We must continue, in this limited time, to communicate with Senators.
There are many of them who have understood our best interests.
There are many of you who've helped show Senators the dangers of C-6.

CNHC wants everyone, with all the information that is out there,
to draft their own personal letters and send, immediately.

Feel free to re-send historic letters you have written and adjust
them according to your response to recent developments.

SENATE REVIEW

2009 Dec 2 Senate Committee Clause by Clause review transcript

Witness testimony came to a close on November 26 2009.
A clause by clause review started and finished on December 2 2009.

What is a clause by clause review?
The Senate Committee looks at each clause and will have to carry it in a vote before moving on to the next point. Each clause may have an amendment. Each clause may have attached observations. This could take anywhere from one day to a few months. In this case, it took 3 hours. The Senate Committee will take back their review to the rest of the Senators and let them know if they agree or disagree with Bill C-6.

TESTIMONY AT THE SOCIAL AFFAIRS SENATE COMMITTEE HEARING NOVEMBER 25 2009 ON BILL C-6

2009 11 25 Senate Committee PDF

TAKE IT TO THE STREET.
OTTAWA RALLY WED NOV 25 2009.

OUR NUMBERS WILL ECHO OUR VOICES

A few weeks ago we asked the Standing Committee on Social Affairs to change the date and wait to hear Shawn Buckley speak to Bill C-6 on our behalf.

The Senate received over 200 emails; and they waited.

Ideally, all of us and more should be outside of Senate’s hearing to show that we're more than a click of a button. That we're real Canadians with deep concerns about Bill C-6 and have given our voice to Mr. Buckley in our wish that he speak for us.

We can’t all be there, but it’s vital that as many Canadians as possible, who live in and around Ottawa, back this action up with their physical presence.

OTTAWA: HELP REPRESENT.

TAKE ACTION ON WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 25 2009:

Plan to arrive between 3:30 PM and 4:30 PM.
Stay on the street during the entire session.
Hold your placards high.
Talk to one another.
Listen to the speakers.
Talk to the media.

LOCATION: Victoria Building at 140 Wellington Street in Ottawa
When you get to this link click on the A in the pink bubble and you'll be able to see a street view of where you want to be. You'll need to click on and drag the googlemap to the left and you'll see 140 Wellington Street. It’s actually a really amazing feature.

Shawn Buckley will get there shortly after 3:30 PM.

If time allows, CNHC will ask that Mr. Buckley give everyone who has gathered a short brief on the session after 6:00 PM.

Please circulate this among your entire database. Post it on your blog, on your website, facebook it, tweet it, have it go viral now.

20 SEATS: There are 20 available seats at the session hearing in Room 2, Victoria Building 140 Wellington Street. It’s first come, first serve. Leave a spot for Senator McCoy!

RALLY SPEAKERS: Health Canada whistleblower, Dr. Shiv Chopra will be accompanying Shawn Buckley while he is in Ottawa and hopes to address all rally participants that afternoon.

Pierre Mathieu of the Fondation Liberté Choix Santé has confirmed that he is attending.

Shawn Buckley will personally address the group if there is time before his flight leaves Ottawa.

SUDDEN CHANGE?

It has come to CNHC’s attention that there have been changes in the members that make up the Social Affairs Committee. Just last week Senator Tommy Banks, known to oppose Bill C-6 has been replaced by Senator Jim Munson. Reports tell us that Senator McCoy and Day, also both in opposition to Bill C-6, have been marginalized.

AS IT HAPPENS.

WATCH THE SESSION: If you're unable to attend the rally you can listen or watch the November 25 4:00 PM Bill C-6 hearing on LIVE via the Senate Committee’s webcast.

But!

We need to have the physical numbers out on the street to show our Government that there is strong opposition to Bill C-6. And for good reason. READ SUMMARY OF BILL C-6 DANGERS HERE AT NHPPA.ORG

OUR GOAL: To protect the rights and freedoms of Canadians. We must stop external influences on our Government and ask them not to succumb to pressure. To choose what they know is right for our country. Our own Government can set a precedent for world leaders everywhere by having no fear and keeping our sovereignty

As a constitutional lawyer, Shawn is uniquely qualified to speak to the Senate Committee on the unconstitutional nature of Bill C-6.

This opportunity was the result of the actions of hundreds of concerned citizens who wanted someone to speak on their behalf and trusted Shawn to represent them.

Each of you will represent for so many more of us that wish they could be there.

A rally sends a powerful message and ensures that we're heard.

Sending letters, emails, faxes and calling the Senators has been instrumental. Now it's time to be seen and be on the street. It's critical that we back up our chosen representative with our presence. Your numbers will reinforce our message: We do not want Bill C-6!

VITAL SIGNS.

SIGNS AND POSTERS: We’re exercising a peaceful protest but that doesn’t mean that we can’t convey our message with power. Below are a few examples of some signs and posters you might consider taking with you to the rally. We need placards (and you) to show the Social Affairs Committee that the Citizens of Canada will not sit by idly while our rights and freedoms are stripped from us.

This will not only show the Committee how we feel but will also create greater awareness. Make the signs.

SAY NO TO BILL C-6
SENATORS: PROTECT OUR RIGHTS & FREEDOMS
RULE OF LAW: YES. BILL C-6: NO!

MEDIA: Local media are being contacted to ensure that the message extends beyond the rally site. But please, if you live in Ottawa, call all of the local and national media news outlets to cover your rally and begin to write about Bill C-6 nation wide. CNHC is picking up the phone and following up on emails and faxes we have sent to the media. We suggest that you do the same. CNHC is pressed for time so please help us and find newspapers or radio stations in your area. Call each one to let them know a rally will be going on, the reason, street address and time.

NOW WHAT?

BEYOND THE RALLY

The Standing Committee wraps up its review hearings on November 26th, the day after Shawn’s testimony. This day has been secured for Health Minister, Leona Aglukkaq. After proceedings have come to a close, there will be a clause by clause review. The Senate Committee will look at each clause and will have to carry it in a vote before moving on to the next point. Each clause may have an amendment. Each clause may have attached observations. This could take anywhere from one day to a few months. Once the clause by clause process is complete the Senate Committee will take back their review to the rest of the Senators and let them know if they agree or disagree with Bill C-6.

CNHC is confident in 2 things.

1. That right will trump wrong and Canada will remain free.
2. That Senate will Vote down Bill C-6 in its entirety.


READ ORIGINAL CAMPAIGN FROM MON NOV 2 2009

SEE SHAWN BUCKLEY.
HEAR THE PEOPLE.

48 HRS TO GET A CRITICAL MESSAGE TO 12 KEY SENATORS

Here's the issue: Bill C-6 is now being reviewed by the Standing Senate Committee on Social Affairs. Their job is to review Bill C-6 in detail, hear from witnesses and make recommendations to the rest of Senators before the 3rd and final reading and vote. This Committee will give the rest of the Senate a final analysis of Bill C-6 based on what they have heard. But they will not have heard from Shawn Buckley.

And by extension, us.

Shawn Buckley, constitutional lawyer and author of the Charter of Health Freedom, has been invited as 1 of the key 14 national witnesses to appear before this Committee. That’s the great news.
To have him admitted to this chamber is an honour. And now, for the bad news. It’s on a day, when he will be in Federal Court. He is in a lock down at this trial for 3 weeks. He has been hired to challenge the validity of a section in the Food and Drug act, and show how the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms is being violated. It is an unprecedented case and the Social Affairs Committee apparently, won’t wait.

As of Friday October 30th, the Committee has not given him another option to appear.

NO SUBSTITUTES

It is imperative that he be allowed to give his testimony before this Committee. We all know his perspective is absolutely essential and irreplaceable. There is no alternative. No one has spoken for us, for the Constitution.

We have only tomorrow, Monday November 2 and Tuesday November 3 to let this Committee know that the public wants Shawn Buckley
to represent us in Ottawa.

The first phase of the Stop Bill C-6 Emailing and Letter Writing Campaign was successful. Many veteran and emerging Health Freedom groups, collectively, created a division in the Senate to force a review in Committee.
We made an impact and had emails quoted in the Senate, so they are hearing us.

THE BIG ASK

YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE AN EXPERT TO TALK TO THE SENATORS, THAT’S WHAT SHAWN IS FOR!

All we have to do is make our voice heard. And that we want Shawn Buckley to have the opportunity to truly represent our interests in detail.

Please take a few minutes to PHONE, EMAIL AND FAX your concerns.

It’s really easy to do and can make a big difference.

There are 12 senators and 1 committee clerk. We must reach them all so please contact as many people from the list below as you can! Our CNHC group is very active. Please GET YOUR ACTIVIST ON today and again tomorrow.

It’s best to send short, strong and constructive written communication by email or fax. This time we have to call because we can’t risk not being heard. Here is a sample letter you can send as is, modify, or simply take some ideas from for your telephone call. You have lots of information on the subject. We know you can make this count.

Dear Senator ____________________ ,

Your Committee is now considering the approval of Bill C-6 which is a bill that I have very serious concerns about.

I am disturbed to learn that the Committee has not re-scheduled to hear from Shawn Buckley. I understand that he was offered a slot during a period of time which he was previously scheduled to be in Federal Court and that he has been denied the opportunity to be heard at a time when it is actually possible for him to attend.

I feel very strongly that Mr. Buckley is a uniquely qualified individual who truly speaks for the interest of Canadians. He is not only a Constitutional lawyer but also the author of the Canadian Charter of Health Freedom, which is a proposed legislation that nearly 40,000 Canadians have signed a petition supporting, with hundreds more signing on every single week.

I strongly believe that to proceed with your final analysis of Bill C-6 without hearing from Mr. Buckley would be a grave omission. One that would have not have heard from the voice of the Canadian public.

I urge you to hear from Shawn Buckley on November 25th, 2009.

Sincerely,

Your Name, City & Province Here

48 HRS TO PHONE, EMAIL & FAX

You can call the toll free line and ask for the Senator 1-800-267-7362 but
if you can afford long distance then call the direct line to each Senator’s office. Call all 13. Email all 13. Fax all 13.

THEN let CNHC know that you did.

Please help get Shawn Buckley to in front of the Senate Committee for the Senators and the Canadian public.
