Here's a chance to maybe do something about it.
1. E-mail Prime Minister Stephen Harper (Harper.S@parl.gc.ca) and Opposition Leader Jack Layton (Layton.J@parl.gc.ca). Congratulate them on their historic success in the recent campaign and urge them to reform Parliamentary pensions to a self-funding arrangement whereby taxpayers match MP contributions dollar-for-dollar. Currently, taxpayers cough up $4 for every $1 contributed by an MP. You can cc your e-mail to us at updates@taxpayer.com;
2. Forward this e-mail to your contacts. Encourage them to JOIN the CTF at no cost, and sign our Reform MP Pension Petition. Our influence grows as our numbers grow.
