We've been working hard these last few weeks.
Today I was at the NE Gurudwara as well as the Hindu Temple meeting with the voters of Calgary Northeast.
The article in the Sun today underscored the worry that my conservative opponent has with my 'maverick' campaign. They know that my campaign has resonated with voters - why else would they launch the pre-recorded telephone call blitz - outsourcing it to the reluctant and weary Art Hanger? Art himself essentially acknowledged that the conservative candidate won the nomination because of 'Third World' politicking and improper tactics. Art himself criticized the nomination as 'closed'.
Unfortunately, unlike a pre-recorded call, you cannot outsource integrity. The nomination was hijacked and, in the words of Dr. Agnew, Calgary Northeast may not have the democratically elected Conservative candidate.
I see this as a positive sign - with all of the machinery behind them, my opponent has yet to connect with voters and he fears that voters will see through him and choose a candidate with an untarnished conservative past.
I look forward to the voters choice on October 14. If voters want to change the 'Third World' politicking in Calgary Northeast, then they must make their decision and vote for Roger Richard -- and they don't need to worry that the riding will go liberal - the numbers are clear and once I win, the Conservative Party of Canada can count on my support.
