FOOD FOR THOUGHT FOLKS

Hi All

This press release comes from Connie Fogal and I think it provides food for thought--Jamie Lee.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 14, 2006

Are You on Canada's Unannounced No Fly List or No Passport List??
Connie Fogal, Leader of The Canadian Action Party said on January 14,
2006
that her party joins with the Canadian Islamic Congress to denounce a
No
Passport List and No Fly List
already being practiced in Canada
targeting
the Muslim community.

The Canadian Islamic Congress reported in its press release of January
13,
2006 that the application of a 35-year-old Canadian citizen to renew
his
passport on Dec. 22, 2005 was put on hold for "security" reasons.

"You are on a security list," a government clerk told the Muslim
professional, who was planning to travel to the U.S. for an annual
company
event. He has been in Canada since emigrating from his native India at
the
age of five.

"First the Muslims, and then you and me," said Fogal who pleaded that
Canadians remember German Pastor Niemoeller who was arrested by the
Gestapo, and sent to Dachau in 1938 and freed in 1945.

The famous Niemoeller quote references that he did not speak up when
they
came first for the communists, then the Jews, then the trade unionists,
then the Catholics .When they came for him , there was no one left to
speak for him.

" The No Fly list and the No Passport Lists are shocking. But equally
so is
the fact that not one of the main stream parties is raising this
Draconian
civil liberty issue in this election," decried Fogal .'"Hidden from the
public is the fact that each one of the Liberals, Conservatives, NDP
and
Bloq Quebecois know about these lists and are complicit in their
implementation. They do not talk about it because they do not want us
to
know. They all voted for the laws that permitted the implementation. "

Connie Fogal said,"Citizens are entitled to know about the deliberate
sabotage of our freedoms by our own government all to implement
Fortress
America;all this in the midst of valiant efforts right now in the USA
to
indict Bush for crimes against citizen rights in the USA."

"How long must Canadians tolerate the failure of our media along with
the
failure of even one mainstream party to expose the sabotage of
Canadian
freedom and civil liberties?? Who said it could not happen here?"
Fogal
asked. "It is. "
