Know! Where else to go?
March 16, 2009 | Author: Jim Hnatiuk |
A very encouraging letter was recently received at my CHP office in Nova Scotia from Prayer Canada's head office in Surrey, BC. Arne Bryan, Founder and Director of Prayer Canada, whose goal is "to encourage Christians to pray for their nation and to establish weekly prayer meetings in legislative buildings, city halls, churches, and homes," wrote that he can no longer encourage his members to vote for Christians in any of the other federal political parties.
Periodically, journalists from across the country will comment on the quandary of "conservative" voters as they see their party abandoning them on an increasing number of policies, but then their articles or commentaries will invariably report that alas, those poor voters have no where else to go. Of course, it's a lie. The truth is that those journalists simply don't want to recognise the CHP and its policies.
But Canadian voters are increasingly searching out the CHP. They know that their vote is important to the future of this country, and they're tired of having their franchise taken for granted. They are principled people who want their vote to reflect their values.
Arne Bryon is one of those Canadians. He knows there is somewhere else to go, and in excerpts from a recent letter written to all Christian Members of Parliament in Canada, Mr. Bryan clearly states his reasons for supporting CHP Canada,
"…it is very evident, electing Christians into present ruling government parties has little value because their mouths are bound shut…."Therefore, Prayer Canada can no longer encourage its people to vote for any existing party in power that is presently given recognition, NDP, Liberal, or Conservative. The only registered and operating federal political party that stands up for Biblical principles is the Christian Heritage Party…
"I for one know this party could take over Canada if every Christian would recognize they have no biblical right to vote otherwise.
"I come from Alberta. In 1935 I was 17 years old. Not old enough to vote but well aware a God-directed team, under William Aberhart in a 2-year span in the middle of the "great depression" took over every riding in Alberta and formed a brand new government for Alberta under [the] Social Credit.
"…CHP is moving ahead slowly but surely as Christians are beginning to wake up to the facts. There were never so many Christians in the federal government as there are right now, but your hands are tied, your mouth is sealed shut by an ungodly power plant in all but the CHP."
We at CHP Canada hope this will be the first of many endorsements from Christian organisations all across this land who realise that for biblically sound principles to be advanced in the House of Commons, they must come from a political party that is willing to openly defend those principles.
The years of countless debates, protest, letters and phone calls are falling on deaf ears in the House of Commons. MPs didn't listen after fifteen thousand marched on Parliament Hill in April 2006 in defence of traditional marriage and the five thousand that marched at Queen's park in Toronto. There is only one thing that will open the ears and mouths of those in parliament and that is when they see growing support for another political party. The CHP thanks Arne Bryan and the approximately five thousand members of Prayer Canada for their support. Our aim is to replace those now sitting in the House of Commons. The members of Prayer Canada can rest assured that CHP MPs will speak up and they will receive the much-needed encouragement and support of an entire team working behind the scenes for them on these important issues.
This is not only a Better Solution—it's the only solution
