Hello Jordan. I just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for the effort you have put in to the R. B. Bennett statue campaign. I read the information on your web site with interest, and I learned a few things about Mr. Bennett that I hadn't know. I do have to agree that he is certainly worthy of national recognition and a statue on Parliament Hill would be the perfect way to honour his memory. You have my support. Best regards. Andrew Keyes, Conservative Party of Canada Candidate for Toronto-Danforth 2012
