A letter received regarding Sex Offender Legislation in Canada

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED - Canadian Government - Sex Offender Legislation

Hello,

In three weeks our Canadian government is coming back from summer recess. When they do they're going to decide on two pieces of legislation. The first will prevent former sex offenders from receiving a pardon- ever. The second will affect the registry- they will, among other things, notify other countries that SO's are traveling to them, they can use the registry to 'solve crimes proactively' (which means they can do pretty much anything to anyone on a registry as long as it is used to investigate possible crimes, etc, etc.)

I quickly created my web site so that I could affect the politician's decision so as not to support the bills. I linked my site to an on-line petition I created but in the months I've had the site up I've only received 45 signatures. It would be GREAT if I can at least get a few hundred before September 20. Also, I'm hoping I can ask a lot of people to just write directly to three Canadian politicians (the leaders of our 3 political parties) and just ask those politicians not to support the bills.

If we are successful then Canada can continue to serve as an example to other countries how ex-offenders can be treated fairly (which used to be the case). Would you be willing to help us get the word out to your members..?

Thanks in advance!

Steven Yoon
