Honour Government.

The Apostle Paul wrote some words about giving honor to government that I think is worth repeating now that the election is over.

Romans 13: 1 - 7 - 1 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. 3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. 4 For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. 5 Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake. 6 For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God’s ministers attending continually to this very thing. 7 Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor. (The New King James Version. 1982 (Ro 13:1-7). Nashville: Thomas Nelson.)

We had a very poor voter turn out to the election this year. I hope that doesn't mean that people are giving up on the belief that there is someone to vote for.

Please come back to this blog from time to time. I will continue to post news items occassionally, especially regarding some of the social needs of our community. There are some volunteer opportunities for service in the community that I unearthed while campaigning that you could help me with by letting me know you would be willing to volunteer. One example is a half way house called Newmarket Residence. Some entertainment for the folks there would be welcomed. Church groups who wish to host a praise night with these folks should contact me.

Stand Behind Lois and help her by joining the Conservative Party
I am grateful that Newmarket - Aurora had 3 persons of faith to chose from in this election. I congradulate Lois Brown for her opportunity to serve this constituency. I congradulate Lois for stating when asked in the final debate whether she was ProLife that she was. This demonstrated that she values her commitment to Christ above Party. Lois warned everyone that it wouldn't make a difference in Ottawa however. I also congradulate Dorion Baxter for speaking out in support of the faith statements that I made in my campaign.

I ask any who voted for Lois to join the Conservative Party and fight within the party for change. A riding could send a conservative to Ottawa who vows to fight the system if it choses to do so. Lois could follow the example of others who have tried to assert themselves. But here is the lay of the land that she is up against. The Prime Minister will not allow abortion to come to the floor anyway. If an independent bill were introduced then it would be a whipped vote. Thus, Lois Brown's personal viewpoint is immaterial to the question. Peter VanLoan in the Simcoe Grey riding also answered that he was personally prolife, when asked. However he also will vote along party lines or be sent to the back benches. Its the same for Lois if she breaks rank. Remember the fate of Bill C484. Women are not given the option to choose to have their baby for fear that it might affect a woman's right to kill her baby. Beyond this there is a reason why the Conservative Party will not allow the Abortion debate in parliament. The reason is that the party has between 20 to 60% Pro-Choice members in the party depending on who you ask. Harper has not cleaned house. Many Conservative MP's would quit if Abortion were allowed to be debated. So don't just vote. Join as I did in the past and advocate within if you are going to vote for their party. The same goes with the Liberal party. Join them and change them from within if you are going to vote for them.

ProLife Reiminder
I wish to remind anyone who voted for NDP that their party is officially Pro Abortion on Demand. Anyone voting for GREEN that their party is officially Pro legalization of Marijuanna, Pro Euthenasia, Pro Abortion on Demand. Anyone voting for Liberal or Conservative, because of hte mix of Pro choice and Pro Life in these parties nothing will ever happen under their leadership for this issue until they as a prty make a stand as Pro Life before they go into an election. Anyone voting for PC, there is a possibility they will make an official Pro Life stance, put pressure on them to do this, especially if you voted for them. People told me that I would fail if I bring up Prolife issues. My poor rating at the polls seems to indicate that but I beleive we have Prolife people who voted for the other parties, hoping for a hidden agenda. I don't expect that much will change either even though CHP clearly is officially Prolife as a party. I do not chastise anyone who is Prolife for staying within the strategic voting system. I only challenge them to, like you have never done before join these parties and do everything you can to shake them out from within so that they will act for you in future. Realize that 79 percent of Canadians are Pro Life.

Realize that 30 years of waiting for a change regarding this does not mean it has to take another 30 years to solve it. Realize that this is not the only issue where the moral compass of this country is needing correction. Just as you expect financial accountabliity within your family members, start to demanding that our national debt be paid off. I predict instead of this that with recent moves by the Conservatives the actual National Debt which is 1/2 Trillion currently will increase significantly in the years to come rather than reduce by the 3 Billion they promised. I hope I am not right. If I am right tell me to run again next time there is an election so we can tell the truth once again. If you get tired of nothing being done regarding the 220 Million dollars and 220,000 surgery hours wasted in our hospitals to terminate 110,000 Canadians lives each year and if you get tired of hearing we need ghettos in our cities to house 250,000 imigrants who we are inadequately allowing to integrate into our society each year, speak out about it. Help us to speak out about it.

A Rally at Newmarket Town Hall Mulock drive,
There is a rally being held this Friday the 17th night at Newmarket City Hall on Mulock Drive by a group that advocates for the ending of homelessness.

You are invited to a Stand Up events in Newmarket this Friday, October 17th.
Date Time October 17, 2008 4:00 pm – 7:30 pmLocation: Newmarket Town Office395 Mulock Drive Newmarket, ON Contact Tom Pearson :: tpearson61@rogers.com :: 289-221-0928Website http://list.makepovertyhistory.ca/e/lists/lt.php?id=KRpQUQReAwADARhRAAlPAFZaAFEADetails here: http://www.makepovertyhistory.ca/en/event/newmarket-york-region-event-international-day-eradication-poverty%5Beventdd%5D

Ray will be attending and will keep you posted as to the outcome of this event.

October 17th is recognized by the U.N. as the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. This day is marked annually by events held around the world by poverty groups and was started to give a voice to those marginalized by poverty.
Newmarket has played York Region’s host for the past three years and has aided in setting a world record number of those standing up at once against poverty alongside other similar stand-up events around the globe. The local day will kick-off with a press conference at 4:00 pm this year and ends at 7:30 pm.

Last year, over 43 million people Stood Up to demand that world leaders keep their promises to end poverty and inequality . This year, help us break that record and send an even louder message to our governments.Learn more at : http://list.makepovertyhistory.ca/e/lists/lt.php?id=KRpQUQReAwADAhhRAAlPAFZaAFEA

What is Ray doing now after the election?
Ray will continue to advocate for the needs of the community and continue to seek media attention. It is not likely He will win an election any time soon based on the votes given in this election, but Ray did not enter this election to win, He entered it to speak the truth because our nation needs its moral compass adjusted in the Finances of our country, in the rights for all persons including those deemed not legal persons and there needs to be a war on poverty which must continue to be fought. Ray hopes to continue to fight with his pen after the election. He has written a few books that are available at the second hand book store on Davis Drive in the flee market. They will be available on the internet. More about these books will be posted here in the days to come. Ray also will be concentrating on his work as a director of an organization called ICC. This organization seeks to reach the Secular Humanist Western world with the truth that we are created beings in need of a right relationship with our Creator. For more about ICC go to this newly formed blog. http://icctruth.blogspot.com/

A Final Word,
Please come back to look at the blog occassionaly. The email campaign will now be slowed to a trickle. Perhaps twice a year at most between elections. Please email me rayluff@rogers.com to get directly on my email list for these occassional emails as most who received them are on other peoples email lists who were forwarding them for me. Some of those emails were forward many times. I figured out some connections to people who responded representing the 4th forwarding of the email.

All the votes for CHP - Ray Luff in this riding were not wasted; 211 in all. They represent likely 10x that number of persons who believed in what we said but were unwilling to step out of the 2 party strategic vote. Unfortunately also many never heard of us until they saw our name on the ballot. We hope they will know better by the next election. If you want me to run again join the CHP by visiting http://www.chp.ca/

It is a huge effort taking 5 weeks of time with no remuneration. It is worth it if those that voted for Ray believe in what was said and believe it needed to be said.

I will lobby all that he can with our Conservative Representative Lois Brown and PC Provincial MPP Frank Kleese for the things you bring to my attention between elections.

I can be found bloging at this other newly created site in the days to come. http://icctruth.blogspot.com/

If you join the CHP party you help our advocacy in future. If you chose to give any money to CHP up to 400 dollars in any given year, 300 of it is deductable on your income tax statement. Your gift will be used to continue our advocacy in many ways.

Let me thank every person who voted for us. Do not be dissapointed with the number. We did not do this just to win an election. We are trying to win the hearts and minds of fellow citizens of our Newmarket - Aurora riding. Congradulations to everyone who participated in this, who gave money, time and votes for this cause. Thanks to those who forwarded our message for the purpose of free speech even though they didn't plan to vote for us. Thanks to those who shook my hand and thanked me for what I did in this election but indicated they would vote for someone else. Thanks especially to those that voted their Conscinece! and Voted CHP - Ray Luff.
Ray,

Homelessness happens quickly.

I spent over 10 years as a volunteer counsellor at Yonge Street Mission in Toronto. I remember a man who rented a home outside of Toronto. One day he was laid off. He decided to come down to Toronto to find work and left his wife with the kids. Six weeks later he was desperate, living in the Sally Ann; He was unkempt and he was in great despair. His wife and kids had been evicted and were living with her parents. His life had fallen apart. He became a homeless person to what to him seemed overnight. He had lost his family as well in the process.

The CHP platform has a plan to virtually end poverty by reducing the work force and making it available for those who need it, by offering 12,000 per year to couples to have one of them drop out of the workforce to raise their children.

Candidate Ray Luff - Christian Heritage Party

CHP has Better Solutions for fighting poverty
CHP is against the issuing of tax-credits because they discriminate against the poorest members of our society who don't make enough to file a tax return. Instead

--- excerpted from CHP Platform at website ----
CHP wants to Introduce Family-friendly Childcare Allowance—$1,000 a month for families where one parent stays home to raise the children.
-
CHP policy, overall, reflects the conviction that the married two-parent family is the most important foundation of society. Public policy should reflect a recognition and protection of the important function of a family in training up the next generation of stable and responsible citizens. The CHP Family Friendly Childcare Allowance touches on child care, but in a way totally different from all of the other parties. It would provide $1000 per month to any family where one of the parents chose to stay home and raise their children—until age 18—unlike the current policy of $100 per month for children under 6.

The Conservatives recently added a $2000 per child tax credit—annually—which will provide about $310 per child in tax relief. Hardly what a family needs to help a parent stay home to raise their children. For real pro-family legislation, you need the CHP’s $12,000 annual childcare allowance.

The average take-home pay of a woman who works at a second job is under $1000 per month. We want to help her stay home and care for her children if that is what she wants, and surveys continually tell us that this is what she wants.

Additionally, it will open about 1.5 million existing job spaces -- mostly entry-level jobs, which would especially help to relieve youth unemployment -- and would reduce overall unemployment to between 3 and 5 per cent.

Now that’s a Better Solution!
--- End of Excerpt from CHP Platform. ----

For Better Solutions read the full CHP Platform here:

My own experience
Many don't know this but until age 8 I myself lived in a project called Edingarth court near Yorkdale mall. That is why poverty is one of my concerns and why I have invested many years of my life volunteering in various ways to help people who are under its weight. I have my father to thank that he managed to work his way out of the project by retraining and starting a career path in his early 30's. I also have the government to thank that back in the 1960's before our nation fell into what seems like insurmountable debt that made it more possible to work your way out of poverty. It doesn't seem so easy for folks today.

My wife and I bought our first home in what is called the patch. A subdivision of semi-detached homes on the east side of Yonge Street, across from Upper Canada Mall. We have been fortunate in various ways and hope to do whatever we can to help others as we have been helped.

Please do your part to get our blog news to your friends, neighbours and relatives. If you found this blog or were invited by someone to view it, please send an email with a link to it to all your friends and relatives. Our platform was not of great interest to the media. We need your help to get the word out to the 86,000 voters in our riding.
-
To send the strongest possible message go to the main CHP site and sign up as a member, especially if your are from outside the Newmarket - Aurora region and there is no CHP candidate for you to vote for on your ballot. There have been faithful members of the CHP in the Newmarket - Aurora riding waiting for the past 2 elections for a candidate to speak for them which I am now doing. Let us prove that we represent the people not just by votes at the ballot but by signed up memberships in the party. http://www.chp.ca/en/involved/membership.html

The need for Rest - Reflecting on the message after attending Church on Sunday morning Oct 12th. I appreciated this morning a message that was given at a church we visited called "Salvation Army Northridge Community Church" in Newmarket. The message regarded the need for rest. We need to have rest in our society from our busy lives. We need times to reflect and appreciate all the good things that God has given us. Our party policy regarding having less workers in the workplace would have the side benefit of encouraging the retail operations to cut down on 24 hour shopping and Sunday shopping as workers will be harder to find. We hope they will be found at home with their families resting and nurturing the next generation of Canadians to have wholesome family values. Community involvement, volunteerism and time to consider our personal beliefs might also be fostered, when we take time to rest.

A final word to my readers on Thanksgiving day
I trust if you are reading this post on Oct 12th that you were able to rest today and celebrate Thanksgiving. At 7pm on Channel ten please consider watching the one hour debate that was recorded at Rogers TV. Let others know by sending them this email so they can tune in too. On election day VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE! I am not worried if you don't vote for me but reflect and decide where your vote will go that will do the most good for Canada. If you toss it our way then you are voting that the message matters more than winning. You are giving us a vote that will make our voice heard through the media later on. If we get enough votes they will listen. If we don't we may not be here next time.

Podcast Live Show 8:00pm on Wednesday Oct 15th.
Brad Snell who assists in putting out a well organized Podcast based internet radio show from an office building on Bay Street, Toronto was in the audience who heard my message to the Aurora Chamber of Commerce debate regarding the fact that no one shows concern for the ethics of where our borrowed national debt comes from. As a result he invited me to come to the studio downtown to as his guest to discuss this further at 8:00 pm on Wednesday. The other topic that may come up on the show will be the current bailouts of the banks including the Conservative Governments recent move this past Friday. CHP is the only party that stands for the elimination of the Public Debt during our lifetimes.

We may also touch on the topic of the current Green Shift and C02 hysteria.

Click on this address at 8pm Wednesday night to here me live on this show which will discuss the aftermath of the election 2008.

<< THE SPECIFIC LINK WILL BE HERE ON WEDNESSDAY >> A general link to the radio station for those interested is http://www.thatchannel.com/

I have decided that I will continue accepting such invitations after the election to continue to promote the CHP party between elections.

One last stop after the debate.

After the last debate on October 8th at Newmarket Theatre, Ray couldn't resist one more stop on the campaign trail. Ray has been trying to meet the residents of Newmarket and Aurora by stopping in at coffeeshops throughout the region. The car to look for is a 1987 Turbo T-Bird with a scrolling message sign on the back. Ray has a passion for these cars because they get 33 mpg on the highway and they have more horsepower than a 5.0 Litre Mustang at the same time. In the hopes they will be collectable in the future Ray has 3 of these old cars which he is lovingly restoring. It's been 20 years since Ford made these cars but the good news is they plan on bringing 4 cylinder Turbo's back starting in 2010. Let' hope for the ecologies sake that this time they will be here to stay. We could have saved possibly 10% or more of the consumption of fuel over the past 20 years if all the 5 passenger and down cars were turbo based vehicles. Ray believes in conserving the environment and conserving energy while using fiscal restraint. However Ray believes the Green Hysteria is misdirected regarding CO2 which is good for crops and only 2% of which is man made.

Caroline of Caroline's Caricatures is the person Ray is greeting in the second picture. Carolyn attended the debate and did some charicatures of the various candidates.

High quality copies of the below artwork are available from Carolyn.
Send me an email if you would like to get one sent you by email in high quality. I will put her in touch with you. There will be a nominal charge as Carolyn tries to make much needed income by this to help put bread and butter on her table.

Did you miss the debates
Click here to listen to Ray's answers at the Aurora Townhall Debate on October 6th. http://bibledoor.no-ip.org/pdf/chp_aurora_townhall_20081006.mp3

Green Shift Histeria Unwaranted
At all 4 of the debates Ray Luff said that CHP stands for the abandoning of the hysteria of the Green movement. Last time we checked CO2 and Water Vapor are good for our crops. Only 2% of the CO2 is man-made. Viking’s grew grapes in Greenland 1000 years ago. Polar bears survived that warming period just fine. Scientists have noticed that the temperature on mars has also warmed lately. The only explanation they have is sunspot activity on the sun. The world has warmed only 0.7 degrees in the past 100 years. The billions of dollars being asked for by the Greens could be better spent to pay down the national debt.

None of the media seems interested in picking up this story or in checking out the facts to see if what he says is true. None of the other candidates challenged Ray. They had plenty of opportunity to have people who work for them check Ray's facts so that they could challenge his accuracy in the next debate. Is it possible that they found out he is right and it wouldn't have helped their cause to argue with him?

Carbon taxes and schemes will hurt Canada
I just signed an online petition at http://www.nocarbontaxes.com/ and hope that you will do the same. Carbon taxes and trading schemes will hurt Canada. In Europe, they have led to higher energy costs, fewer manufacturing jobs and expensive new programs to address "fuel poverty."
-
It's no surprise that new carbon taxes in Quebec and British Columbia are proving extremely unpopular. The idea that new taxes - making all of us poorer - is somehow going to change global temperatures is madness. We live in a cold country with long distances between us. Energy costs are high enough as it is. The Liberals propose a carbon tax; the Conservatives propose a 'cap and trade'. We are too complacent in this country. Join me in taking two minutes out of your day to send an important message to politicians of all stripes: enough! The CHP agrees! Enough!
-
Please sign the petition at http://www.nocarbontaxes.com/ and forward this email to anyone that you know who will join our important effort.

Meet and Greet any time between now and October 14th
I am inviting anyone who plans to vote their conscience and vote for CHP - Ray Luff in the upcomming election to drop by my home so I can shake their hand. I would like to give you a white ribbon as well to wear for the remainder of the campaign. Call my phone number ahead of time and I will tell you how to get to my house. (Also to make sure I am in.)

There will also be a get together at my home for those that are members of the CHP for the final countdown. If you are not a member because of size limitations please drop by for a meet and greet any time in the evening but if we run out of room it will have to be a short visit. But I do dearly want to meet and shake the hand of each and every one of you.

I want to meet everyone if possible who voted their conscience. It is not a vote for me, it is a vote for your conscience and I believe it will count in the same way that salt preserves meat. We want to preserve the society that we live in. We cannot do that if our voice is ignored because no one voted for us.

Ray,

Do you know what a Roman Candle is?

I want to give a special pep talk to the troops supporting me in this riding.
-
There was a one year long party held by NERO in which Christians were tied to polls in his garden, doused with oil and asked if they wished to recant their belief that Christ had risen from the dead and that he now lived inside of them and will resurect them as well some day. When they said no they would not recant this the torch was pressed to them and they were lit up like candles for the amusement of the friends of NERO that were invited to the party.
-
You do not have to be a Christian to believe in your conscience that it should not be violated by government and that government must be held accountable. My story is just an example. Allow me to widen the scope of this by saying. The persuit of truth, justice and freedom of religion which is part of our Judeo Christian Heritage as a country is such that there are people who are willing to die for it. Our soldiers are another example of such resolve.
-
Canada sent more than their share of troops during both world wars becasue of the Canadian culture which fostered this. That is because there was a belief in truth and justice and that it was worth protecting. Today sadly our youth are struggling to find out what made our nation great and why we see ourselves in glowing terms on the world scene. We need to remind them of our resolve when many of us were Roman Candles so that they could have the freedoms they enjoy today.
-
Canada is a great nation because of our conviction and resolve to stand up for truth. I ask you will Canada continue to be great if we silence people who hold convictions? (See our post regarding Harpers efforts at this http://chp-newmarket-aurora.blogspot.com/2008/09/not-now-note-ever-will-conservatives.html)
-
Do you want a representative who is not saying what they mean and meaning what they say becuase they tow the party line which does not allow them to do this? Or do you want a representitive sent to Ottawa that will clearly state their convictions? I invite any of the candidates to stand out and speak their convictions. Be a Roman Candle. A Candle blowing in the wind but one that stands for truth despite the odds of society wanting to hear that truth. Wear the white ribbon if you believe in the right to life from inception to natural death. Don't tell me that you can't do this. We need candidates who we can trust who will not compromise their standards.
-
I had the opportunity many years ago to declare personal bankruptcy but did not. Others would have suffered harm who invested in me by that decision. The right thing to do is what is right and not what is expedient. I have never regreted my decision but I do not have as much material wealth today becasue of it. It took me 10 years of hard work to pay off those creditors before I could start my career after that as an investor. I missed out on 10 lucritive years in the market. But I can live with my conscience. That matters more. I learned a hard lesson that money is not all that matters. As a side benefit of my decision which I didn't think about then is that I could run in this race as a candidate now because if I owed anyone anything from the past my conscience wouldn't have allowed me to do this now.
-
In this election, winning is not all that matters. Standing for the truth in our society matters more. Even if it seems impossible to win. we need votes for candidates who say what they mean and mean what they say to represent us. I wish voters would stop telling me they agree with me. Over 54% of Canadians agree with CHP, more than any other party. Just tell me that you will vote with your conscience on election day and not compromise by voting for someone else who compromised.
-
My supporters in this riding are also Candles in the wind as Elton John's song goes. I thank you for your support.

Ray,

Stewardship of the Environment

CHP recognizes that Mankind has been given the responsibility of being stewards of the earth. Listen to what one of our candidates in another riding, "Peter Vogel" has to say about his pioneering efforts at stewardship.

(look toward the bottom of this page for what he has posted on Youtube)
http://chpdurham.com/PeterVogel.htm

CHP Agrees with the following message regarding Carbon Taxes being nothing but a tax grab by the parties who are talking about it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uin-59CsNLY

We also believe the Green movement is based on bad science. Listen carefully to what I have to say about this. Listen to my comments in my closing remarks that were delivered in the Aurora / Newmarket Debate. http://bibledoor.no-ip.org/pdf/chp_aurora_speech_20081006_practice_close.mp3

The townhall debate in Aurora was held at 7 pm. Location: 150 Henderson Drive at Theatre Aurora
We were handing out ribbons for the right to life. We commend Dorion Baxter as the only other candidate that agreed to dawn the right to life symbol which stands for "the right to life from inception to natural death". Although other candidates said they agreed with it they refused to wear the ribbon. We advise anyone concerned about that to ask your candidate why they refused. We want the public who agrees with us to make a 3" x 1/4 inch ribbon pinned in a loop and wear it for the remainder of this election period. All the other parties have not only promised not to make this an election issue but they have also promised not to have it on their agenda if they are voted in.

There was a debate at Sacred Heart High School
It was for the students of Sacred Heart only. Not open to thep public at 8:30 am Tuesday October 7th. If you are fortunate to have a young person in your familly who attended the debate at that school ask them were their white ribbon is that we offered them which stands for the "right to life from inception to natural death". We asked the students to wear these if they believe in this issue until the election day. If anyone wants one email me. rayluff@rogers.com

Advanced Polling is unfair to CHP
Advanced Polling is unfair to CHP as they are the only other legal Party. A party must have 50 ridings covered in order to issue tax receipts and have their name on the ballot. CHP is the only one that met that criteria with 62 candidates after the Green Party. The CHP lost millions of dollars of free advertising by being refused access to the same debates the Greens were given access to. Advanced polling has resulted in 1.5 million voters voting in ridings where their local townhall meetings and local cable broadcast debates which feature CHP candidates have not yet been held. Also repeated attempts to get into print media has been met with only limited success. We need all the time available to get our message out. Already I have had advanced poll voters apologizing to me becasue they did not know the CHP platform, claiming they would have voted CHP. If you agree with me write to the editor of your local paper. Make your complaint known. Also ask them why my picture was the only one not displayed in the paper and why the social conservative platform was not of interest to the local media. Send me a copy if you do write.

Vote Your Concience, Vote CHP, Vote Ray Luff!

Ray,

Why Human Rights Commissions?

Why does the Harper government allow Human rights commissions to exist? They do nothing but take away the rights of ordinary citizens. The doctors recently were targeted by them. They were told to check their beliefs at the door and perform functions that they deem unethical and against their conscience rather than referring patients as is the practice now when a doctor finds it against their sense of right and wrong to obey a patients request. The government failed to define what those requests are but wanted full compliance of the doctors to this demand to be willing to go against their own personal sense of morality.)-We believe the problem is that Governments have come to believe in the Supremacy of government rather than as our constitution states “the Supremacy of God” over our country. ( http://bibledoor.no-ip.org/pdf/chp_CanadianConstitution.pdf)

"Whereas Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law:"
-
Governments become unaccountable to the public when there is no higher authority over them. If you do not believe in God then we ask that you believe in your Conscience. Do you want a government that will force you to act against your conscience?
-
Why are we blaming the current sitting government for the Human rights commissions. Because they are silent on the matter. We want a position to be stated by them. No other party is stating their position regarding the current gross violations of human rights that are happening by non-elected government funded tribunals which have been allowed to run rough shod throughout our land. We want whoever rules our country after this election to reign in these agencies and restore to Canadians the due process of law which is part of our heritage. We also believe when it comes to the issuance of laws that affect the moral judgements of our country that Ottawa is responsible for protecting the rights of citizens.
-
In 1929 Parliament trumped the Supreme court of Canada decision that women are not legally persons by declaring that women are legally citizens. Parliament has been sitting lame regardless of whether the liberals or the conservatives have been in power since then. We call on them to declare that the unborn are legally citizens. We call on them to declare that human rights tribunals are to be disbanded in our nation as we have the courts and parliament to decide the rights of our citizens. We call on the Parliament to obey the charter which says that all citizens have equal rights in our country. We call on government to get rid of Tribunals and to examine the Supreme Court of Canada judgements to see if they are contstitutional based on 1982 Charter which states that "Canada is a Nation which recognizes the Supremacy of God."
-
We call on the Conservative Party to change their governing principles which are unconstitutional from asking for a pledge from their members to the Supremacy of Government and the rule of law to a pledge to uphold the constitution a pledge to the Supremacy of God and the Rule of Law. We call on this for the other parties as well. How can we sing "God save our land" otherwise?
-
Let me know what you think.

Read about Larry Spencer's experience in Ottawa. Larry was a sitting MP who is now with the CHP Party.

Another book I recommend is called "No Sacred Ground - Human Rights Thought Police clamping down on Christians" You can find it at this website.

Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,Hold our Dominion, in thy loving care.Help us to find, O God, in thee,A lasting rich reward.As waiting for the better day,We ever stand on guard.

Did you know that we refer to God on all the coins we carry in our pockets?

D - Dao = God

G - Gracia = Gracious

Regina = Queen


This is latin for "The Queen by the grace of God"

This inscription is added becasue we want a Queen that is subject to a higher authority. Thats why we used to sing "God save the Queen". We still sing "God save our land" in the national anthem becasue we want a government that is subject to a higher authority.

Did you know that Canada's original name was "Dominion of Canada" because a verse of scripture was discussed by our founding fathers found in Psalm 72:8 which says "He shall have dominion from sea to sea". The founding fathers prayed for 3 hours about this in the Parliament and then decided to name our country "Dominion of Canada" rather than just "Canada". Later on to commemorate this decision it was inscribed over the archway to the peace tower. These things were done to remind future generations just as the CHP is doing about the Heritage of our Land.

Did you know there are 3 more verses to "O Canada"?
1. O Canada! Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise, The True North strong and free!
From far and wide, O Canada, We stand on guard for thee.

Refrain
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

2. O Canada! Where pines and maples grow,
Great prairies spread and Lordly rivers flow!
How dear to us thy broad domain, From East to Western sea!
The land of hope for all who toil, The true North strong and free!

3. O Canada! Beneath thy shining skies,
May Stalwart sons, and gentle maidens rise.
To keep thee steadfast thro' the years, From East to Western sea.
Our own beloved native land, Our true North strong and free!

4. Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,
Hold our Dominion, in thy loving care. Help us to find, O God,
in thee, A lasting rich reward.
As waiting for the better day, We ever stand on guard.
Ruler supreme, who hearest humble prayer,

4th verse refrain:
Hold our Dominion, in thy loving care.
Help us to find, O God, in thee,A lasting rich reward.
As waiting for the better day,We ever stand on guard.

What about seperation of church and state?
Canada was not a theocracy in times past when these references to God were made in our society. We want to return Canada to its Heritage. We at CHP believe in seperation of church and state, but Canada has become so seperate that it is losing its lustre as the great and free society that it once was. We want to return Canada to its greatness. No one need fear our intentions as the great freedoms and due process of law that we enjoy are due to the Christian Heritage that made our country great. There is room in our Canadian heritage for other religions and beliefs as freedom and liberty are at the core of the Judeo Christian values that our great country were originally built on.
