Let Greenpeace Activists Go!

This petition was published by Jenny Smith on Nov 19, 2009

To the attention of Ed Stelmach, Premier of Alberta:

We, the undersigned, respectfully request that Bruce Cox and all of the other Greenpeace Activists unjustly arrested in the Alberta tar sands protest be released and cleared of all charges, fines and legal fees relating to this case.

Their arrest is a huge blemish on Canada's reputation as a democratic society. Their passionate actions are those that have caused this great country to grow and flourish. Without the right to peaceful protest, this nation would be an unruly mess.

These people have simply expressed their right to freedom of speech. These actions do not make them terrorists or criminals. If anything, these actions show them to be caring, responsible citizens after whom we should all strive to model ourselves.

These individuals are right in their protests. Harvesting from the tar sands only stands to send us spiraling further into our current global warming crisis. None of us can afford for this to happen.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.

Jenny Smith,
Environmental Technician, (et al.).
