Open Letter to Tom Mulcaire:
I have been a supporter of the CCF and NDP for over 50
years, and am currently a monthly contributor. I am shocked by the leadership
handling of the current crisis regarding misuse of parliamentary funds
(alleged). To keep my loyalty, here's what you ought to do: 1) Announce
immediately that the NDP will pay the costs as calculated by the internal
economy committee - under extreme protest. 2) Pay to the House of Commons and
Canada Post the amounts named immediately. 3) Appeal to the membership to cover
the costs with additional donations (I hereby pledge $500.00 that I absolutely
can't afford) and begin seeking a court determination of the legality of the
payments.
I can pretty safely predict that
the spotlight will then shift to the other parties' use of parliamentary
advertising. I can also pretty safely predict that given the above, donations
will cover the payments in 24 hours and membership will increase substantially.
If you don't do this, we'll be held up for months as the party that won't pay
back to taxpayers what they owe. Tom, please abandon this "everybody does
it defense" and get us back to higher ground.

Sask NDP member # 233695
