Subject: U4L; Help make change
This message is to all who are in the Auckland region this coming Saturday. If you are available, we would like you to consider supporting the march against crime being held in Howick (see details below).
Why is it important?
Crime is a serious problem, our politicians don’t want to deal with it because they don’t have any real answers (being election year some may wish to talk about it, but that about as far as it goes).
For instance, we have already seen a red herring from Wellington, “to fix crime in Manurewa let’s blame liquor stores”. This was a deliberate smoke screen to divert peoples attention away from the real issue.
The real issue being, there is no respect for the law and our politicians don’t have the backbone to deal with it.
Personally, although I am not a liquor store fan, liquor stores may provide opportunity but it’s people who choose to commit crime.
This march is an opportunity to help change New Zealand for the good.
Details of march
All,
On behalf of Peter Low, I’m sending you this urging you to spread the news to all your contacts.
Thank you.
