Frank Klees Message of the Day - June 21, 2009
Good Day Team Klees,
Today is the first of two days that you can mark your ballot with a number 1 by the name of PC Leadership Candidate Frank Klees!
It is important for you to come out and cast your vote to choose the next Leader of the PC Party of Ontario today. The polls open at 11 am today and close at 5 pm.
Today is an important day for our Party…it’s the day that you, as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, have an opportunity to decide the direction that our Party will take as we move toward the next provincial election in 2011.
Your involvement, as a grassroots member, is imperative as we move toward developing a platform that must resonate with Ontarians across our province if we are to beat the McGuinty Liberals in 2011.
As Frank traveled across our province over the last three months, speaking to Ontarians of every background and from every walk of life, he encouraged them to join our Party for two reasons: Our Progressive Conservative values of fiscal and social responsibility resonate with the people of Ontario, including New Canadians, and; that if you don’t get involved in the political process, you are destined to be governed by those who do.
Today is also an important day for the Klees campaign. A few days ago, the Tim Hudak campaign launched a frivolous attack against us – they went to the media and accused us of breaking campaign rules. We knew we didn’t, but the Party carried forward with a formal hearing of the Rules and Appeals Board. Last night, the Party ruled in our favour! In the decision, they wrote, “upon hearing the submissions and evidence of the Tim Hudak Campaign and the Frank Klees campaign, the Board determined the complaint was without merit.” Click here to see the full decision by the PC Party of Ontario: http://ontariopc.com/~/media/7C856423D85B4397A711FE522826B594.ashx
Just like the attack by the Hudak campaign was without merit, so is an idea raised during this campaign –abolishing the Human Rights Commission. Frank Klees has been clear from the beginning of the campaign that the thought of abolishing the Human Rights Commission is without merit – that it needs to be fixed and refocused. Frank is concerned that by talking about such a radical step as abolishing it sends entirely the wrong message to the people of Ontario. The Toronto Star agrees – read this story by Haroon Siddiqui to see why: http://www.thestar.com/comment/article/653912.
Today and Thursday, June 25 are important days for our Party. By signing up to become a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario you have taken the first step.
By participating in this process, we have made our Party stronger. We need to make sure all of this hard work will matter. We’re asking you to take the next step and, as you mark your ballot, place the number 1 by the name of PC Leadership candidate Frank Klees.
Thank you for your support!
