Don't Scare the Canadians!

A Politicker reader forwards an amazing email from conservative organizer Paul Weyrich: From: Paul Weyrich Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 9:38 AM To: Bob Thompson [a staffer at Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation] Subject: message from Canada Importance: High Please get this message to the Stanton, Family Forum and Wednesday lunch groups: I received a call last night from Gerald Chipeur, an important figure in Canada's Conservative Party. He told me that Conservatives are with-in striking distance of electing an outright majority in Parliamentary elections Monday. He said the Canadian media, which is trying to save the current Liberal government, has a strategy of calling conservatives in the USA in the hopes that someone will inadvertently say something that can be hung around the Conservatives. Canadian voters have been led to believe that American conservatives are scary and if the Conservative party can be linked with us, they perhaps can diminish a Conservative victory. Chipeur asks that if Canadian media calls, please do not be interviewed until Monday evening at which point hopefully there will be reason to celebrate. Many thanks.
