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.

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,
