CAPP - Canadians Advocating Political Participation

Canadians Advocating Political Participation (CAPP) is a nationwide grassroots organization dedicated to fostering increased participation of Canadians in our democratic processes.

Forged out of the public reaction to the Prorogation of Parliament on December 30, 2009, our members come from all political parties and none, and from every walk of life. We represent the woven tapestry of Canadian society.

Through Education and Active Engagement in democratic activities, local chapters of CAPP strive to return democratic power to Canadian citizens from coast to coast, in every region of the country.

Through continual monitoring of our governments activities, we strive to maintain accountability to the people that our government is elected to represent.

We believe the true power of a democracy lies in the responsibility of its citizens to be well informed and actively engaged. The right to vote comes with an equally important responsibility to engage in our democracy.

CAPP has three primary goals:

1) To defend and restore Canadian democracy;

2) Educating Canadians on their political system; and

3) Encouraging greater political participation by all citizens.

Bravo! It sounds like CAPP is on a roll and Canadians are waking from apathy. And this may just be the beginning...

Stephen Harper didn't think that YOU didn't care, he just thought that after the olympics most Canadians wouldn't care. He was right.

Keep up the good work. CAPP. We need you. Even tho a great many Canadians are politically challenged and blind, we must try at least!
