This is our final chance of stopping the most anti-Christian bill in Canadian history from becoming the law of the land.

Bill C-9 is before the Senate after passing third reading in the House of Commons.

This draconian censorship bill now faces one last hurdle in the upper chamber before it can become law.

If that happens, the legislation willl criminalize the recitation of certain passages from the Holy Bible as "hate speech"... passages which the Liberal government finds offensive.

A second reading is already scheduled in the Senate for April 14th, after which it could quickly proceed to a third reading and final vote. 

As we've reported previously, Bill C-9 will remove the "religious text defence" which currently protects Christians from being charged with "hate speech" for quoting controversial scripture passages, or for proclaiming biblically-based moral beliefs.

Our final chance to kill Bill C-9 -- and prevent the Holy Bible from being classified as "hate speech" -- is to pressure Canada's 98 senators to vote against it.

We're calling on supporters to flood the senators' offices with phone calls demanding they vote to defeat C-9, or at the very least, amend it to restore the "religious text defence".

Start Calling!

Below is the list of Canadian Senators to phone, grouped by province. Please start with your own province and call during office hours, and then move onto another once you've phoned every Senator in yours.

If nobody picks up, please move onto the next Senator on the list. Please also be aware that the Senator is not likely to take your call directly, so please leave your message with whichever assistant answers. 

After making your calls, please record your call stats so we know how well we're doing, at this convenient form, here: https://forms.gle/Bb5a7dBHLaJBRHpf6
