		<description>We are in May 2008, Richmond does not

want to increase the welfare support rates

after all the evidence presented to him.

It is obvious he does not want to change.

He is not the right man for the job.

There is a problem as you see after

all the evidence stating welfare reciptients

are receiving low-income way below

what they should be getting.  

It's become a serious problem, and I

suggest a new Minister who wants to

help these people and one who understands

as a human being.  

Time for a change of Minister that is

my best suggestion.</description>

		<description>They want to get re-elected so they are giving each person
in BC a $100 cheque to go Green.

Some of us are way ahead we went Green a Decade ago
do we get a $1000.00 cheque.  

When are you going to increase the welfare rates and send us
what we want and need??

$50.00 after 12 years your priorites are misplaced and we 
clearly see this.

$50.00 was that to get re-elected too??

The Truth is that you don't care we all know that and

let it been heard and seen on this site.

What about the increase in minimum wages to $10.00, you do
not care one bit.

What about the high tuition fees and the debts students
are having to pay after graduation??

You do not care one bit.

WHY VOTE FOR SUCH A GOVERNMENT WE HAVE CHOICE!

I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR YOU AGAIN!!</description>

		<description>February 21, 2008

It is happening once more Campbell and Taylor are once more

misplacing their priorities and being careless we are know this

about not wanting to respect persons on Welfare in BC and

increasing their shelter and support rates after 12 years.

Many people influential people are standing up to these CREEPS

to raise the assistance rates like the people want and need.

It is obvious after the raise in 2007 50 bucks that they

don't give a dam.

Welfare recipients are not interested in Campbell either but

interested in their own well-being and many of these citizens

are educated and have worked hard and do you hear me campbell

they have a RIGHT to an INCREASE NOW - THEY DO NOT WANT

TO WAIT TEN MORE YEARS!

RAISE THE RATES IN THE 2008 BUDGET!</description>

		<description>In addition there is nothing to fear about this government

stand up for your rights no one else will do it for you.

Nice letters do not do the job but action does

and demands.  It is the only way this government

seems to understand!!

I cannot respect a government who increases the accomodation

rates by $50.00 after a decade.  This is showing a total

lack of respect for welfare recipients.</description>

		<description>I am a powerful supporter of increasing welfare rates

for all recipients in the province of BC.

I agree that it is time NOW to increase the rates

as all the people want this and they are citizens

of BC.  Many persons with disabilities have an education

of some sort and have worked many years in Canada.

The rates both shelter and support must go up to be able

to eat well, rent decent accomodation, transportation, personal

care, entertainment (yes they have a RIGHT TO Live Life) and

receive a reasonable income support cheque.  

The Cheap embarrassing $50.00 in 2007 was a joke the government

is laughing but we are not.  We want an increase and each

january an increase in the cost of living.

And increase the exemptions to 1500.00 with $400.00

for a pair of decent glasses and not $170.00. 

Pay our dental care all of it.  Get your bucks out

cut back on your wages and the 2010 Olympics.  I give

a DAM and I paid my taxes in this country.</description>
