February 12, 2000	MaterCare International -- "LifeSaver" FREE donations program
January-April every year!	Tax Protest against Abortion funding -- include with your tax return

File this, or a similar statement, along with your income tax return!

Date:

Canada Revenue Agency
Government of Canada
 

I wish to protest the use of my tax money to support, in my province and at the federal level, the legalized killing known as abortion.  I wish to state that, despite my strong protest, I am unwillingly forced to participate through my taxes in the taking of innocent human life.  I would like this statement to be permanently filed with my tax records to show that this involvement is not voluntary and is against the dictates of my conscience.

February 12, 2000 MaterCare International  " LifeSaver " FREE donations program
[Information from e-mail message received by T. Winchester (Military Ordinariate) from MaterCare International's founder, Dr. R. L. Walley.  Original message sent Jan. 27/00; rec'd by CWL ABMK Feb. 12/00]

Comment from Teresa:
>Some of you may have already seen this.  It is modelled on the Hunger
>Site.  Please spread the word fast and far.  This is wonderful,
>absolutely wonderful.  You will be partaking in Dr. Walley's miracle
>in earth by contributing and encouraging others to do the same.
>
From Dr. Walley:
>We have designed a new method of fundraising which potentially will raise
>us substantial amounts of money but which will not require any donation
>from your members and friends.  It is based on the hungersite developed in
>the United States which uses the power of the internet for advertising and
>sponsors.  All that is required   is to click the button on our site that
>says do you wish to make a FREE  donation towards the surfery of fistula
>patients.
>
>Would you believe that the hungersite receives anywhere 300,000 to 500,000
>clicks worldwide per day and they get 0.5 cents for each click, you can see
>the potential for feeding starving children in developing countres.  We
>think that our lifesaver site has similar potential.  We have to find the
>free donors as well as companies to sponsor the site.  I am enclosing an
>outline of the lifesaver project which we give to potential sponsors.  We
>have a webmaster here who is looking after the site and can explain more
>fully any questions you might have.  We need your help and it will cost
>nothing.

>With many thanks and best regards,
