A bit late, but I thought I'd share this.

The time to be spectators, onlookers, or sideliners is over.

It is time for us to show up, *** be heard & be counted ***

Prentice's Stampede Breakfast rally is tomorrow (8:45 - 11am, Sat July 5th). You can sign up here,

While Prentice refuses to consult with Canadians across the land, we, the lucky ones in Calgary, have the rights and duties to meet and tell him **in person** exactly why Bill C-61 is ill-conceived and how it will hurt all Canadians.

With the following slogans and info sheets, we hope to back up our passions with reasons. Slogans can be found in their respective directories,

"Fair Copyright info sheets.pdf " can be found here. Please print a few for distribution.

Hope you can show up, be heard & be counted.

****

P.S. Remember to speak on areas that we are passionate about and knowledgeably. Please be polite, clear and firm at all times.

If we are rude or rowdy, then those unacceptable behaviours will become the focus and distract needed attention from our fight against the ills of Bill C-61.

P.P.S. By the way, there is a scheduled brief interview around 7:15 tomorrow morning about the Prentice breakfast rally on CHQR 770 AM ( http://www.qr77.com/ ). Have a listen if you have time.

More info in this one.

Dear Fair Copyright for Canada Calgary members,

Here is an an update and our current plans. Please check the event page again on Friday (July 4th) in case of last minute change.

Please bring Cash donations for the Children's Cottage Society (as suggested by Prentice's breakfast flyer)


2) New slogans and information sheets

Thanks to Theo's help, we now have a new batch of slogans.

Please download & print the one you are most passionate about and knowledgeable about so you can speak with conviction.

The slogans are in colour and black & white. The "flipped" images are ready for use to make your own iron-on transfer t-shirts.

There is a Read-me file if you need extra help,

3) Meeting place at 8:45

The Osteria de Medici parking lot is not that big (8 parking spots?). But since many of us haven't met each other, I suggest we gather at the corner of Kensington Road and 10th Street NW at 8:45am

We will have a short briefing. And take some group photos and group videos sharing our concerns re Bill C-61.


4) 9:00 - 11:00 Stampede breakfasts and meet Minister Prentice

Go get our Stampede breakfasts and have our chance to talk to Minister Prentice about our C-61 concerns.

We may each only get a few seconds of Prentice's time. So be concise. Speak on areas that we are passionate about and knowledgeably. Remember to speak politely, clearly and firmly.

5) 9:00 - 11:00 after breakfasts and meeting with Minister Prentice

After we have our breakfasts and chats with minister Prentice, we can mix with the public to give the gathered breakfast event attendees chances to talk to us and ask us questions.


****) Photos and Videos

Please shoot plenty of photos and videos throughout our peaceful protest to post on Facebook, YouTube, and our blogs, etc.

Lets get our message out.
