It's a vote on Stephen Harper's motion to kill the bill. WE MUST WIN THIS VOTE OR THE MARRIAGE BILL WILL DIE!
We have a small lead in the vote count, but there are dangers. Will all supportive MPs show up to vote? Will the four supportive Conservative MPs dare to vote against their leader's motion?
Canadians for Equal Marriage urges you to contact your MP today!
Go to Canadians for Equal Marriage Go to Step 1 and E-mail all MPs. At Step 1 you can also find your MP and get their phone and fax numbers. Simply tell them you support equal marriage, you support Bill C-38.
Opponents of equality for lesbian, gay, bi and trans people are pulling out all the stops before the final vote. Today, Saturday, April 9, tens of thousands of opponents held their "March for Marriage and Freedom" on Parliament Hill.
Stephen Harper himself addressed the crowd! He told people, "if just a few more Liberals can be persuaded to change their vote, we can kill Bill C-38 in its tracks."
We're bracing for a storm of opposition messages flooding MPs' offices between now and Tuesday. It's important that MPs hear from our side too!!
We have the opportunity to settle this issue once and for all. But we can only win this fight with your help. Please contact your MP today.
Use this link to e-mail all MPs. It only takes a few seconds.
IF PARLIAMENT KILLS THE EQUAL MARRIAGE LEGISLATION, OUR OPPONENTS WILL CONTINUE WITH FURTHER ATTEMPTS -- EVEN U.S.-STYLE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS -- TO ROLL BACK THE CLOCK.
Today, on Parliament Hill, Stephen Harper once again pledged to bring in legislation to define marriage as a man and a woman.
We all know an election may be called soon. But before any election call will be Tuesday's vote. It may be the last time Parliament votes on equal marriage. Let's make it a positive one!! Let's ensure MPs know that many of their constituents support equal marriage.
Please help today. Don't delay. Please also pass this message on to your friends and your networks.
This is a crucial time. Please take action now.
