RE: MP David Graham As you know, the first-time MP David Graham has been advancing awareness of free/libre/open source understanding and inclusiveness in Parliament, through the "Digital Caucus" and via his interventions in Committees. He is the only software programmer, the only known active Linux user in the chamber. While the GOSLING community is non-partisan in terms of political parties, it nevertheless seems within bounds for this list to share a call-out to help keep an MP who strands for the same principles in Parliament by participating in fund-raising towards his next federal election campaign. In order to remain as the Liberal candidate through the 2019 election, the party has placed thresholds that candidates have βto meet by certain dates. The most important of these is that David must have half of the predicted spending cap for the election in his budget before being allowed to apply for the nomination. Currently he is about $20,000 short of this goal. There are tax credits for donations. One-time contributions only to his association can be made here: https://secure.liberal.ca/eda/?eda=24038β (Laurentides--Labelle riding) Monthly contributions can be made here (which require a minimum of $5/month to ALSO to the national party): https://secure.liberal.ca/victoryfund/?eda=24038 (Laurentides--Labelle riding) Personal cheques to a maximum of $1,575 (total contribution limit to all riding associations in the country, regardless of party, in a calendar year) can be snail-mailed to his team at: Laurentides--Labelle Federal Liberal Association 1494 ch du 6e Rang Sainte-Lucie-des-Laurentides, QC J0T 2J0 Regards, Joseph Potvin Co-Founder, GOSLING _______________________________________________ Ottawa-gosling mailing list ottawa-gosl...@list.goslingcommunity.org http://list.goslingcommunity.org/mailman/listinfo/ottawa-gosling
