Democracy must demand results

Yes, and this is true in Canada. The big problem is to give people the facts, and to show them the way to do something about it.

That is the purpose of the Social Credit movement, as led by the Institute of Political Action.

Both papers published by the Institute, this The Union of Electors and the French organ, Vers Demain, bring the facts home to the average man, the facts, particularly such as are related to Money power. They also urge their readers to demand better results from their elected representatives, in all fields: municipal, provincial, federal. Phone them, write letters to them. Pass the facts on to heighbours, and move them to action.

A practical first step is to get other people to some source of information. Take subscriptions to this paper in your community. Interest will be roused. An enlightened opinion will grow. A local nucleus of informed people may then be set up, not as a substitute to individual action, but to organize the individual efforts into concerted action, at the right moment and in the right direction.

The pressure on our representatives should not be left to the enemy.

When all pressure comes from financiers or from world planners, then the financiers' and planners' will prevails. They are the masters of policies. Our elected servants are their tools. This is the antithesis of democracy. This is dictatorship under the cloak of ballot-box democracy.

The fundamental basis of democracy is that the people be sovereign. The people's will must be put into effect. Members of Parliament and Councillors are elected for no other purpose than to see that this is done.

They are not elected and paid by the people to submit to the will of an organized minority acting in its own interests, intent on strengthening its grip on our political and economic life.

The people must let their own will be known to their representatives. Their will must be made so clear, so united, so determined as to ensure that nothing can stand against it. Results must be demanded until they are obtained.

If your representatives are sincere, they will be only too glad to have that force behind them. Glad to be freed from all shackles. Glad to feel that they may side openly with their constituents, shaking away any party instructions to the contrary, without fear about their future reelection because enlightened individuals are unmoved by a party machine.
