I was asked to LEAVE my local Pentecostal Church because I wrote a Letter to the Editor criticizing our Mayor.

The Mayor and the Pastor are friends.

The Mayor lets the Pastor and others pray at City Hall.  The Mayor's Campaign Mgr. and MOST of his campaign team were from this SAME church.

Next, a member of this SAME church helped my neighbor take my 9 yr. old daughter's puppy AWAY from her.  She then told me all about how they had accomplished this.

The City then adopted this puppy out to my neighbor who lives DIRECTLY ACROSS THE STREET from us.

My daughter cried for half a year.  She missed school.  She couldn't sleep.  I had to take her to see Counsellors.

This neighbor ALREADY had a dog and two cats of her own.

This puppy was the VERY FIRST PET that my daughter EVER RECEIVED from her daddy, whom she HARDLY EVER gets to see.

This neighbor, with the aid of this member from my former church, then laid FALSE CHARGES against me EVERY TIME I tried to get my daughter's puppy back.

Next, I lost my job as a Substitute Teacher at the School Division that I had previously worked at for ten years, with NO EXPLANATIONS, NO REASON.

They REFUSED to meet with me to discuss this.

I am currently running for Mayor of Brandon, Manitoba, Canada in this current municipal election.

I plan on taking the Pastor and this church before the Human Rights Commission, the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada, etc.

Legal Aid in Canada has REFUSED to help me because they told me that a dog is NOT IMPORTANT ENOUGH for them to go to court and fight for me on my daughter's behalf.

This is a story about power, politics and religion and how they each GOT INVOLVED and INTERMINGLED with each other.

I am a single parent of three children.

I am fighting for the truth here.

Anything that you could do to HELP ME would be GREATLY APPRECIATED!
