TO EVERYONE WHO WANTS TO “LEAD” THE ALBERTA INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT and For all of the people that disagree with me and want me to shut up and go away I have this to say to you: Everybody has their own constituency. There are literally hundreds of thousands of my fellow Albertans who agree with me including my views on how badly @ABDanielleSmith has abused our trust and has lost the moral authority to lead the UCP, I will continue to speak to the people who agree with me and will continue to speak to the hundreds of thousands of Albertans I have been in contact with since I was involved in founding the Alberta Prosperity Project almost 5 years ago. I’ll be doing everything I can to encourage all of the people I’ve met over the last 5 years in Machine Shops, Equipment Barns, Community Halls, Churches, Rallies, Town Halls, Street Corners and gatherings to come out to vote. Vote to get rid of a dishonest UCP leader and vote to free Alberta from Canada. I will do this to make sure that the hundreds of thousands of people who agree with me on these issues to help replace the untrustworthy federalist leader of the UCP. A leader who has taken common cause with Nenshi, Carney, Kenney, Poilievre and Lukaszuk against Alberta. We will ALSO work to turn out to vote on the duplicitous referendum to have a referendum question in the event that we don’t succeed in replacing Danielle Smith and get a real referendum question before October 19th. My challenge to all of the putative independence leaders like @ikwilson , @CoryBMorgan, @BertaProudDad and others is to go find your own constituency and turn out your own voters. Dennis, Mitch and I along with the tens of thousands of APP volunteers have done our work and will do our work to turn out OUR voters. The challenge for you is to stop playing games, stop the back biting and whining over the views of thousands of UCP members on the moral failures of the leadership of the UCP and focus on identifying your own voters that we haven’t identified or spoken to yet. You all want to lead so bad, stop all the posturing and positioning and do the work. Find the middle third voters you claim that Jeff Rath alienates. Promise them that Jeff Rath will never run for or accept political office, because I have no intention to do so. I’m not a wannabe Premier or MLA like many of my critics. APP, Mitch and I will identify and deliver the 500,000 voters that we have identified so far and will build on our work. The challenge for all of the non APP independence leaders is to use the TPAs they set up to collect money to identify and deliver 200,000 new voters each. If they do this we will win. If they don’t. We won’t. It’s that simple. If we don’t win it will be they haven’t done THEIR work. We will determine once and for all who is a real leader as opposed to “controlled opposition”. If they are real leaders they will EACH identify and turn out 200,000 of their own new voters. If they don’t have real plans to do this as opposed to merely positioning themselves to lead the “transition” by poaching APP staff and volunteers they are not helping in a real or constructive way. If the vote fails in October it will be because all of the Danielle Smith supporting “independence leaders” didn’t do THEIR work and identify and deliver all of the voters that they claim to speak to. This won’t be on anybody involved with APP, Mitch or I. We’ve done our work. We will continue to do our work. It’s time for all of the critics to put up or shut up. Do the work. Identify NEW voters. Stop backbiting and criticizing people who have more than earned the right to lead and to set the strategic direction of the movement. Thank you for your attention to this message. God speed.
