* defendMARRIAGE Fundraiser This Coming Monday With Stockwell Day, Anne Cools

Charles Mcvety of defendMARRIAGE invites pro-marriage Canadians to a major fundraising dinner this coming Monday at 7 p.m. at Canada Christian College, 50 Gervais Drive in Toronto. Featured speakers include former Alliance Party leader and now MP, Stockwell Day, Senator Anne Cools whose address will be “Why This Battle Must be Fought”, Fr. Tom Lynch, Roy Beyer and others.

Charles McVety, spokesman for defendMarriage, says "marriage is under attack with Bill-C-38 that is attempting to redefine the foundation of civilization. Members of Parliament will soon vote and I believe the vote is virtually tied. If we band together we can make a difference and see marriage preserved for our children and generations to come."

To attend the dinner immediately contact defendMarriage at 416.391.5000 or email to reserve your seat. There is no cost however they are hoping to raise sufficient funds to finance the Defend Marriage Campaign.

* No Matter How Many Constituents Protest I’ll Support Gay ‘Marriage’ Says Fisheries Minister

Last Saturday about 125 people meet with Halifax MP Geoff Regan, the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans, at the Rockingham Community Center. There was an (almost) unanimous show of support for the traditional definition of marriage. In that one hour, many people, including several local pastors, urged Mr. Regan to vote according to the wishes of the majority of his constituents. He steadfastly said he would not - even if thousands had turned out against SSM. He said he will vote as the Prime Minister’s Office requires him to vote.
