on campaign Dear Sir The National Citizens recently launched a cam paign to tell where leader Ed stands on four issues thai matter to us and millions of Canadians Unfortunately some in the media misunderstood and misrepresented what our cam paign ibout Please allow us to set the record straight A number of national polls in eluding our own have shown that Canidiuns like Ed for perMiriil reasons not because of his policies or values Canadians also believe that what he says the trouble is that they don realize what he saying Before Canadians in the next general election they should know where he stands on the following Ed opposes protecting in the Constitution one of our most fundamental human rights the right lo own private property He wants to abolish the Senate which would leave the less populated resource rich regions of at the mercy of central Canada Broad bent to desert our traditional allies and pull Canada out of NATO which has defended pi Jce with freedom throughout the western world or the past he supports forcing workers through their union dues to finance partv their wills On these four issues Broad bent does not speak for ordinary Canadians The overwhelming ma of Canadians disagree with i on each of these issues In the coming election Ed Broad party could end up forming a strong opposition to a minority government or could even end up forming a minority government We strongly believe that this would be a tragedy for Canadians We want Canadian voters to take Bmadbent seriously and to land what he stands for before they Sincerely
