“At C3RF, our mission is to educate the public regarding the nature of these narratives even as we fight back against the diminishment of free speech rights,” she wrote in her invitation for my joining the group of which she is a founding member. “Our efforts are meeting with much success as we have been able to grow our little organization from 12, four years ago during the M103 debate, to some 25,000 now. It does appear that there is a thirst throughout Canada for the information we disseminate on the status of individual, fundamental rights.” “We know that you share our commitment to the promotion of civil liberties and wonder if we could join forces in some small manner. Accordingly, we would like to extend an invitation for you to become a "Patron" of C3RF. This would entail no effort or cost on your part. For our part, we would look forward to advertising your "Patron" status on our web page and referring to it when discussing your writings and other works. “Each of the directors was asked to recommend a Patron - someone who shares our values and a commitment to Canadian rights and freedoms and I am recommending you!”When I wrote Valerie back that I would be honored to accept her invitation to join the group, she responded: “That is just the BEST news! We are all delighted to have a fellow freedom fighter on board. Thank you so much, Judi. Russ Cooper is just thrilled.”
“Russ Cooper is retired from both the Royal Canadian Air Force and Air Canada. In his military career, he was a decorated CF18 combat pilot and served in several staff positions as a Director of major capital acquisition projects. In the civilian aviation sector, he complimented service as an international airliner pilot with national responsibilities in the field of post 9/11 civil aviation security. He is published internationally in this latter area. (Canadian Citizens) “Now fully retired from his follow-on career as a Human Factors Engineer and a Transport Canada Flight Test Pilot delegate, he is pursuing an abiding interest in the preservation of fundamental Canadian Charter rights. This latter pursuit has been prompted by his sense that these rights, hard-won by the sacrifice of Canadians past, are under attack and on the verge of being lost.”The passion of this military hero will see the preservation of fundamental Canadian Charter Rights and Freedoms through in spite of the negligent media and the general snub of politicians. Neither Russ Cooper nor Valerie Price could have ever known my late-night prayer of these past few weeks; fervent prayers to my Guardian Angel to help me land on the Side of Angels in all meaningful issues in a now tossed-up world. Today that prayer was most elegantly answered.
