Final Week Campaigning...
Hello fellow New Democrats,
I'm off to another 12-hour shift at the hospital, but wanted to share a short note with you - to keep in touch as we go into the last week on the campaign trail!
The NDP executive here in Nanaimo-Ladysmith finalized the nomination process Friday night ...and I've been given ten minutes next Sunday, October 5th, to convince everyone that they should vote to 'Send a Nurse to Parliament'. I'm not yet certain what I'll spend the other 9 minutes speaking about!
Seriously though, I'll be considering this last week of my campaign as a chance to outline some issues and concerns here at home - priorities that reflect the needs of our country. Your thoughts on these important questions and what we're facing as Canadians would be helpful - whether you agree with me, or have your own ideas to suggest. Either way, I'd like to hear from you.
I would also welcome a sentence or two, should you be so inclined, that I could post on my website for all New Democrats to consider. Personally, and politically, I'd like to know why you're concerned and what actions you'd support on such matters. And in the same light it would be my pleasure to hear what you think might be accomplished if Nanaimo-Ladysmith was to 'Send a Nurse to Parliament'.
Over the next few days then, If you have a chance, please consider sending an email or giving me a call. If you leave a message I'll be sure to be back in touch. And if you haven't yet had a chance, check out my website. You might be surprised at the healthy approach, and breath of fresh air, a straight-talking nurse could bring to our nation's capital!
all the best,
Jackie
ps - Hope you all had a chance to get out and enjoy the wonderful weather. Attached please find a few pics from this beautiful fall weekend ...our barn-to-cottage energy retrofit tour with the RDN, and our afternoon bonfire with friends (Q? who do you recognize? Hint - I'm the one wearing orange shoes!)
