Some people will simply want those seeking political office, to say the things they want to hear


Here's a question for you ... "Who do you think wants to find out about what the BC Conservatives stand for, and how we would govern?" 

Well off the top of my head, the easy answer would be, “People that are small ‘c’ conservatives” … but who are those people?  The problem is, how do we know who those people are?  I certainly can’t tell by looking at them.  

With that in mind, I decided to send out an email to some of the people who, last Fall, let their names stand for elected office in the Kamloops area.

Here is part of the message I sent:
Because of a commitment by BC Conservatives to provide a common sense alternative, to the New Democrats and the BC Liberals, I have gone from being a member of the party ... to working with others to create Constituency Associations for both Kamloops riding's ... to also become the Regional Director for the Kamloops, Thompson, Fraser Nicola area. 

Last year you let your name stand to become an elected representative on Kamloops City Council.  That tells me you are interested in, and sincere about, the well-being of our community ... and our province.  With that in mind, you may be interested in taking a look at the policy document for the BC Conservative Party.

If you would like to find out more about what our party stands for, I'd also like to encourage you to look over the information you’ll find at http://www.bcconservative.ca/what-we-stand-for. You can also read a piece I was asked to submit, on why I believe people can and should support the BC Conservative Party, which ran in Kamloops This Week on May 29th.

I believe that the BC Conservative Party is one that can and will be both fiscally responsible, and have a social conscience.  That is why I support the party, and why am working to its continued growth in our city.

Thank you for your time; please feel free to contact me if you would care to discuss party policy on any issues you feel of importance to the people of BC ……


One of the people, I sent this message to, replied by saying:
Bring back the Eco-energy program and you'd have my support. I look forward in reading your platform more closely.
