Send Fax: Other issues

Open the Fax Send window

1. Open the Fax Send window by clicking here, then come back to this page.

Choose Your Recipient(s)

In the expandable tables just below are several categorized lists of contact information for the Canadian federal government.

	2. From the expandable tables just below, copy (CTRL-C) the Name and Fax# of the employee you wish to fax, and paste (CTRL-V) into the Fax Send window. Then, scroll further down on this page for next steps.
	Why not send multiple emails or faxes? Once you’ve edited your template, you can do other sendings quickly with copy/paste in Notepad. Note: Our preferred Fax Send service limits you to 2 faxes per day. (After you reach the limit, click here for a list of other free fax services – or you may wish to send via email.)
	Emailing option. For many of the contact databases below, we have also included email addresses here if you’d prefer to send email rather than fax.

Canadian Members of Parliament

Canadian Senators

Department of Justice

Canadian Senate – Social Affairs Committee

Customize Your Fax

3. Draft or paste your text into the Fax Send window, and edit as desired. 4. Customize the greeting line (ie. “Dear Senator ____”), personalize the first sentence (at least), and make any other customizations you like. Then add a personal salutation at the bottom. 5. IMPORTANT: Under your salutation at bottom, add (at least) your city, province, and email address. This is necessary not only to establish your letter as being authentic and personal, but also so he/she can reply to you! Example: Sincerely, John Simpson Toronto, ON johnsimpson@email.com

We recommend to customize at least the first sentence or paragraph, to something in your own words. A personalized message carries much more weight. Letters with a tone of genuine concern are better received than letters that unleash the angered beast. Best to not come out with guns ablazin’. Not all legislators are against human rights, so it’s best not to assume that your recipient is.

Spread The Word!

The freedom of Canadians depends completely on how many Canadians take simple actions to defend their freedoms. Please consider emailing your contact list a simple note about us. Below is an email template suggestion:

Sample email: (Cut, paste & edit!) Hi guys, Check out this new site, http://www.faxthegovernment.ca. This is a grassroots Canadian movement that is gaining a lot of steam. It lets you send a free fax – right from the website – to any Canadian government politician, about any where we want to see rights protected or laws changed. The site makes it so simple to fax – in about 3 minutes! There are a list of current issues, and pre-written templates you can choose from & edit. (Also, you can suggest other issues to be added to their list.) We need EVERY CANADIAN TO TAKE A MINUTE and speak up about what truly matters to them. Canadians overturned Bills C-51/52, by the sheer volume of our voices… now let’s make sure all of our freedoms stay protected! PLEASE KEEP THIS EMAIL GOING!!
