WRITER LETTERS TO YOUR MP, THE PRIME MINISTER AND TO YOUR LOCAL PAPERS ABOUT THINGS YOU ARE PASSIONATE ABOUT: Canada is a democracy that values freedom of speech. That is a beautiful thing! Our Parliamentarians want to hear what you ahve to say so we encourage you to write them and let them know. Here are a couple tips:

• be concise, don't go on and on for pages. Our leaders are busy and your letter will have a better chance of being red if it is concise.
• talk a language that is easily understandable by someone not from a faith community. There is a good chance the person will understand you better.
• just share your heart on whatever issue you care about, authenticity is key
• share with honour and love but don't be afraid to make you point...just do it nicely
• Click here for a list of MP contact and PM contact information.

When writing papers here are some tips:

• if it is a response to an article (an op-ed) pick a main point and lay it out concisely
• if it is a response to an article (an op-ed) then try keep it to about 250-300 words

VOLUNTEER IN YOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT'S OFFICE: Many Members of Parliament tell us how much of a blessing volunteers can be, and, that the people who help them in practical ways are the constituents they really listen to when key decisions are being discussed in the nation. By volunteering in a MP office you are building relationship with the person who will cast a vote for you on moral issues. Your presence will affect them.
