The Democracy Wing of the Conservative Party of Canada is here to promote honesty, accountability and transparency, which will finally put an end fully to the Democratic Deficit inside the House of Commons in Ottawa, through first democratizing our own inner party politics. Using an all-inclusive approach from right to centre, our group realizes the broad-based membership’s majority is overtly pro-democracy, therefore the true centrist in our party is not the elitist who believes in the status-quo but the democrat who believes in reform.

The Democracy Wing, for example, supports previous books, reports and papers that foster democratic reform such as federal Tory MP Patrick Boyer’s Progressive Conservative “Direct Democracy In Canada” book of 1993, Etobicoke Centre’s Canadian Alliance “Common Statement of Conservative Principles” report of 2001 and Deborah Grey’s Democratic Representative “Working Group on Building an Effective Alternative” paper of 2002. We would ask the party for the implementation of the ideals within those works above and push those not included forward for future consideration until they were finally included.

The Democracy Wing believes each and every democratic voice of all members of the Conservative Party of Canada is important and must be heard. In order for us to make this happen within this party, we must today pledge to work together as one united voice for reform, or else divided, we shall fall. We have witnessed in the past what can happen within the Tory ranks if Democracy dies as the top-down elite take over the machine and forget the most important part of the party: the grassroots. If we fail them, the membership-at-large, then what have we left but a Liberal Party whose colour is blue yet essentially agrees with Paul Martin on the issue of the Democratic Deficit: that it has magically disappeared without any actual changes made to that seriously fundamental issue.

So, today, I humbly ask for your support as a grassroots member of the Conservative Party of Canada in helping me start our Democracy Wing of this party to lobby for Democratic Reform within the party’s principles, policies and platform, elect Democracy Wing-CPC members at conventions, nominations and elections and make sure we safeguard them and our ideals at each and every other future convention, nomination and election. If you agree with the 7 Common Values of our Democracy Wing, please phone or email me at the number and address below, be sure to send me your full name, electoral district and title politically so we can add it to a national list and get this organization moving in time for the next election, nomination or convention. I look forward to hearing from all Conservatives for Democratic Reform over the next year or so who want a more democratic Conservative Party of Canada right now.

Yours for Democracy,

When the Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance's leader Stephen Harper and the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada's leader Peter Mackay signed their Agreement-in-Principle to merge their two Conservative-Tory parties on October 16 of 2003, which was ratified by the membership of the Canadian Alliance on December 5 by a margin of 96% to 4%, then by delegates of the Progressive Conservatives on December 6 by a margin of 90% to 10% and was finally officially registered with Elections Canada as the new Conservative Party of Canada on December 8 of 2003, it was the True Blue Tories, neo and classical, who believed they got the better of the united Conservative movement.

But, it was actually the Red Tory Council (Rick Peterson) at www.redtory.ca, who along with his fellow fiscally and socially liberal red neo and classicial conservatives, figured out lobby groups were the best way to get out your message in the new party by getting their message out at the leadership vote, backing nominations on the ground, and finally, winning the major policy battle at the Montreal Convention.

Then along came the Social Conservative Organization Network (Connie Wilkins) at www.socon.ca, with her socially blue neo and classical conservatives, all of who realized you needed to be in the game to win the game, and after their major loss at the Montreal Convention decided they needed to get in it before more policies such as the Partial-Birth Abortion, Full-Assistance Euthanasia or Same-Sex Marriage are lost in the upcoming election.

And finally, a recently proposed True Blue Committee (Calvin Arnt) which will likely be at www.trueblue.ca, that is surely being formed as we speak to make room for all fiscally blue neo and classical conservatives, who originally created the Unite the Right merger as provincial Conservatives of the 90s in the first place so it can be deducted they wish to now reap the crop they have sown through the party's agenda and platform.

The problem is, where do Conservative Party of Canada members who aren't necessarily fiscally or socially liberal or conservatives of the neo or classical philosophical sense only fit, especially after the convention left the party with very few politically democratic, yet progressive reforms? Well now, it's our turn! We are the Democracy Wing of the Conservative Party of Canada, a lobby group interested in bringing back all democratic reformers, every fiscal, social and civil libertarians and each progressive Green Tories to the CPC, inside the big tent and at the party table.

Also, we feel our Democratic-friendly Tories/Conservatives can bring both fiscally and socially liberal Red Tories and fiscally and socially conservative Blue Tories to the same table to compromise their differences on certain problems in policy, through democratic solutions such as referendums on issues without consensus between the Reds and Blues, representation of the constituent first over the conscience of both Red or Blue Tory member and their Conservative party, recall of any member who feels their Red or Blue ideals better that of their constituents and, of course, the free vote to represent your riding. With these type of democratic ideals, we Democratic-friendly Tories/Conservatives are obviously much more centrist that our Red and Blue cousins, as we listen to the people of Canada first and foremost over the voices of our own special interest club supporters because only they can tell us which party policies the CPC should keep and which to scrap as they are the average Canadian voter, taxpayer and citizen.

However, as we are a newly-created democratic grassroots movement at this stage, we don't have the same kind of structure as the other three lobby groups in the CPC, but hopefully word will spread about our movement by the summer from you to all other Democratic-friendly Tories/Conservatives in each of Canada's Electoral Districts to join up and help us build it from the bottom-up, not top-down like other lobby groups and political parties.
