PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
As I see the gloriously colourful leaves falling
quickly from the trees, it is apparent that winter is well
on the way. Summer, with its hectic outdoor activities and
vacation travels, has given way to a time of homebound pursuits
and a time for reflection before we enter the busy Christmas
season.
There is much on which to reflect. As you
can well see from the articles in this newsletter, serious
issues affecting the family face not just Canadians, but also
the people in many other countries. REAL Women has been actively
fighting, both at home and abroad, to preserve traditional
family values.
It is not an easy fight. If one were to believe
the popular news media, it would seem that traditional values
are completely out of touch with the modern reality and REAL
Women of Canada is hopelessly antiquated in its positions.
We know better, of course. Still, it is particularly frustrating
that the news media in Canada are almost entirely "liberal"
in viewpoint.
There is one solace in this situation, and
that is, surprisingly, through the Internet. Although the
Internet can be greatly abused, it is also being used in a
very positive way. There are many Internet sites that provide
up-to-date news and views that support "conservative"
values, and I find this most reassuring. A great deal of information
is available through the Internet that will never reach the
public through the Canadian news media. Up-to-date pro-life
or political information is available, for example, from sites
such as www.lifesite.com
or www.townhall.com.
To obtain a list of some excellent web sites, just go to www.realwomenca.com
(our website) and click on "Links".
On a sad personal note, I would like to recommend
that parents of teenage children visit www.chriscampbell.ca.
This is a website which deals with the recent tragic motor
vehicle accident death of my grandnephew, a wonderful 16-year-old
lad who made a foolish decision and paid for it with his life.
The website, set up by Chris' father in the hope of reaching
other teenagers, imparts a powerful message.
As the year 2004 winds down, I would like
to thank all of you who have been so faithful to REAL Women,
and who have been so active on behalf of the traditional family
values which have made Canada a great country in which to
live. Especially I would like to thank you for your prayers,
for it is only with the aid of our "prayer-warriors",
I believe, that we have been able to accomplish so much!
May this Christmas season and New Year bring
to you and your families a spirit of joy and peace.
God bless!
