Hello MP Sweet, Mirza and friends,

We would like to thank you MP Sweet for delivering our petition on the needs of the Yezidi and minorities oppressed by ISIS.  Thank you Collin for your wonderful help in assisting me.

We hope to mail you MP Sweet a second petition, urging the Canadian government to help bring Yezidi refuges here, rescue Yezidi women from slavery, and provide military and humanitarian aid.  We ask if you would consider presenting it.

We wish you peace and health for the New Year.

Sincerely,

Renanah and Joe Gemeiner

(These are recent articles I found when I googled Yazidis.  It is a pretty disturbing situation.  It seems to me to be to everyone's benefit to empower those victims who normally would not resort to terror, who wish to fight ISIS.   Robin)
