Just Shut Up?

Big full-page ad in the Sun today promoting JustShutUpBC.com, a new website launched by the big BC unions to fight the provincial government's third-party election spending cap.

I find one thing about this site very interesting. This group that wants to fight for your right to free speech doesn't let you edit the form e-mail it generates, on your behalf, to send to MLAs. No tweaks, edits, or personal opinions allowed, apparently. It also doesn't offer a single place to comment.

I guess JustShutUpBC.com wants you to speak up--but only if you agree with them.
