Kingston Accord is a go

Half a dozen or more of us grassroots activist leaders, representing groups of concerned citizens between a hundred plus to a thousand plus, gathered for a charity Salvation Army dinner and summit at Martha's Table in Kingston, much was spoken, discussed and talked about, action on many different areas of principle and policy was thought out, three different scenerios were creating an internal lobby group within a currently exisiting federal party as Constance Wilkins and Marc Fournier openly endorsed, create a brand new federal party as Charles Conn backed strongly or build that and a provincial political party here in Ontario.

We agreed on the formation of a political entity that would base itself upon the non negotiable principles of personal freedom, grassroots democracy, prosperity of the individual and justice, the policies of less government through the elimination of departments and staffing, substantial, across the board, tax reductions, referenda, recall, elected Senate and Judges, an end to enforced bilingualism and multiculturalism and the enshrining of property rights in the constitution - which collectively would be called the Kingston Accord.

There was unanimous agreement from the basis discussion that a second meeting would be called, for the benefit of the wider citizen base, to further develop this Accord, as the Democratic Grassroots Coalition of Concerned Citizens moved forward, Anthony Silvestro has promised to send out an open invitation to concerned citizens, frustrated taxpayers and grassroots organizations who want to use common sense to determine the future of our country, especially those who are sick and tired of politicians saying one thing and doing the other and frustrated with all our same old federal and provincial political parties of the status quo.
