DEMOCRACY IS WORTH FIGHTING FOR – JOIN US TO RALLY AND MARCH FOR FAIR ELECTIONS

Stephen Harper hopes the election fraud issue will just fade away.  Don’t let him get away with it!

Concerned individual Canadians and organizations including Leadnow, DemocracyCanada and the Council of Canadians invite you to join us once again in the streets of Vancouver to demand a full investigation into the Robo-calls scandal.

SATURDAY MARCH 31 – 2 PM
THE VANCOUVER ART GALLERY

We must restore the integrity of the election process and defend our democratic right to a government freely and honestly chosen.  We demand answers and the restoration of democracy: through Elections Canada, a Parliamentary investigation, an independent inquiry, a Royal Commission or legal challenges.

Many activists, political representatives and labour spokespeople have already spoken out. More are joining in every day. Final speakers list for the rallies before and after the march will be announced as soon as possible. Make your voice heard – as we march – and at the open mic. Speak our for integrity, democracy, fair and free elections.

Canadians will not be silent.  We will not be passive. We will not go away!
