Editor, Vancouver Sun Newspaper,

     We hope that government will act on the will of parliament and the
people of Canada to allow US Iraq war resistors to stay in Canada
with the parliamentary motion passed on Tuesday.   Canadians
overwhelmingly oppose the war in Iraq, a war launched on lies and
deception that continues to take the lives of innocent Iraqis.
Canada has a tradition of peace-making and support for war resistors.
Mr. Harper should honor that tradition and listen to the MPs that
represent 60 percent of those that voted in the last election.  If he
doesn't honor  the courageous men and women war resistors and
allows them to be deported, jailed and possibly executed in their
homeland for their actions of peace betrays Canadian democracy.

Sincerely 'Let Them Stay!'
