Informed voting can only take place if voters are made aware of the CLC election database BY LifeSiteNews.com By Steve JalsevacJanuary 17, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) – Campaign Life Coalition leaders, after completing a huge effort to evaluate the life and marriage positions of candidates for this election, are concernedÂmany voters will still cast an uninformedÂballot unless they become aware of the information on CLC’sÂElection 2006 web page.To this end, although CLC has accumulated the information for its supporters, it is encouraging those supporters to ask church pastors and other organizationÂleaders to promote the availability and Internet address of the CLC Election 2006 page. The easiest way to guide voters to the information that compares all the candidates positions (where it is available), say CLC organizers, is to tell pro-life, pro-family voters to go to www.lifesite.net. A prominent link on the LifeSite home page takes viewers to the Election 2006 webpage.As well, CLC notes, churches and other organizations would not be in violation of any election laws by printing out and distributing to members the single riding reports available from the provincial sections of the CLC candidate evaluations, or any of the several LifeSiteNews Riding Reports. The riding reports do not advocate one candidate or party over another but simply state the positions of all the major party candidates. Mary Ellen Douglas, national organizer for Campaign Life Coalition, states it has been disheartening in recent elections how relatively few churches advised members about the availability of CLC’s crucial voting information - information that is not available anywhere else. Douglas said it is beyond her to understand why any of these organizations, that have strong principles in favour of life and marriage, would not do everything at this crucial time to direct their members to CLC’s information about the candidates’ stands on those very principles.Douglas notes that not only are the unborn and the institution of marriage under attack, but “the freedoms of conscience and religion are in serious and immediate danger of being taken away from Canadians if they do not now elect candidates who will defend those freedoms.”“In other words”, says Douglas, “it is in their own serious self interest for churches and other life and marriage appreciating communities to spread the word about the CLC Candidate Evaluations.”See the CLC Election 2006 web page and Candidate Evaluations athttp://www.campaignlifecoalition.com/elections/federal2006/index.html http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/who-are-the-pro-life-pro-marriage-canadian-election-candidates/
