Avaaz to target 3 Conservative Ridings

The song called You Have a Choice was recorded by several musicians including K-OS, Ed Robertson from Barenaked Ladies, Jason Collett and Sarah Harmer, plus musicians from Billy Talent and Three Days Grace.

The artists hope to draw attention to an online campaign (www.avaaz.ca) aimed at convincing Canadians to help the environment by voting for the candidate in their riding that is most likely to defeat the Conservatives.


What happens if our choice is Conservative?

Avaaz is a registered third-party in this election. They are looking to raise one hundred thousand dollars for their campaign.

They are looking to unseat 3 high profile Conservatives, including Environment Minister John Baird.

Avaaz is targeting 3 of Harper's top MPs (including Environment Minister John Baird) where it will hurt them the most -- at the grass roots. Together, we will try to stop their re-election with ad campaigns telling their constituents just how irresponsible they've been in the name of all Canadians. We'll beat them not by supporting any one party, but by appealing to all voters to help save the planet by voting for the candidate most likely to beat the Conservatives. Our ad campaign is ready to launch in these ridings, but we urgently need your help to raise $100,000 this week.

I wonder if they realize that they can only spend three thousand dollars per riding they are spending in? So, wouldn't they need only fifteen thousand dollars and not one hundred thousand dollars?

Of course in the latest polls, John Baird has the support of over 50% of the voting public.

We're better off with Harper.
