Changing the World with a Form Letter

For the concerned among you to cut, paste, and redistribute as you see fit:

NAME OF MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT,

As a concerned citizen, I would like to put my full support behind the recently-released Africa Commission report that calls for $25 billion in annual aide to Africa, in addition to debt reduction and the abolishment of protectionist tariffs in the developed world.

While I applaud the Canadian government's recent decision to focus foreign aide on a limited number of well-governed nations, it is my hope that the Government of Canada will support the report's conclusions, which will essentially provide a "Marshall Plan" for Africa with the goal of assisting this region with its seemingly endless struggle against poverty, instability, and disease epidemics.

Thank you for your time, and I hope that you and the Liberal party will consider my position in making your decision.
