Dear John,

The unelected, unaccountable, unequal Senate is at it again and we need your help to demand accountability.

Even with their long history ([link removed]) of ripping off taxpayers, it seems that Senators still can’t seem to help themselves.

This time, they quietly gave a $10,000 raise ([link removed]) to Senator Yuen Pau Woo who chairs a special committee that’s only met twice this year (including once for just nine minutes). Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen is getting a $5,200 raise as vice chair. And senators already make $157,600.

The CBC reports that these ridiculous committee bumps were abolished in 2013 in the wake of Senator Mike Duffy’s expense scandal when opposition members of Parliament and “Canadian Taxpayers Federation were expressing outrage over the additional compensation.”

Now these senators are back at the taxpayer trough.

Please take a minute to phone Senator Yuen Pau Woo and Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen and tell them taking this raise is wrong. Let’s make sure they can’t pick up the phone without getting an earful from an angry taxpayer. Here are their numbers:
* Senator Yuen Pau Woo – 613-995-9244
* Senator Carolyn Stewart Olsen – 613-992-0121

The Canadian Taxpayers Federation made senators give up this money before. We can do it again.

Thanks for everything you do,
* Aaron, Todd, Shannon and the entire CTF team
