Hon. Dr. Grant Hill, P.C., Coordinator Late on the night of Friday, June 17, a robot voting program attacked the National Marriage Referendum Web site that the Defend Marriage Canada Project is coordinating. This robot began to make thousands of fraudulent “Yes” votes to the referendum question “Should Parliament pass Bill C-38 to legalize same-sex marriage in Canada.”

It was easy to determine that these were fraudulent votes because all were “voted” using variations of just a few Hotmail e-mail accounts and by the huge volume coming in per hour. About 4,000 of these fraudulent “Yes” votes were registered before all voting was suspended. These fraudulent votes have been removed from the database. In the eight days that the referendum was posted before this attack more than 100,000 legitimate votes had been cast, with “Nos” in the majority by about a 3:1 margin.

At the rate at which people were voting legitimately, we estimate that at least 20,000 Canadians were denied the opportunity to make their voices heard on this important issue. No doubt some of the people you referred, or they referred, were prevented from voting by the dishonest effort to skew the results of the referendum.

Here is what I am asking you to do:

* Please forward this alert on to others you may have referred to the Web site or otherwise contact them and tell them that if they tried to vote but could not that the site is now up and functioning again.

* Certainly, if you have not voted yourself, I encourage you to do so and then to refer the referendum site to others.

We Canadians are rightfully proud of our tradition and dedication to honesty and fair play so this attack is particularly disturbing and disappointing. It is clear that at least some of those supporting same-sex marriage saw that they were losing and decided to cheat rather than try to win fair and square in the public arena.

This kind of thing cannot be tolerated and the best way to show these cheaters that this does not pay is to generate as many legitimate votes on the National Marriage Referendum as possible.

We are sending the results of the voting to Parliament periodically and we will continue to do so until the third reading vote on C-38.

Please remember that we had to set up this e-referendum after the Prime Minister ignored the requests of tens of thousands of Canadians to put the question of legalizing same-sex marriage to a direct referendum of the people, It is the next best thing to an official referendum as a way of allowing all Canadians to voice their opinion. We must not let a few dishonest individuals deprive them.

Thank you for doing all you can to spread the word that the referendum is functioning again.

Sincerely,

Hon. Dr. Grant Hill, P.C.

The difference between Western Smileys(Emoticons)(1 byte) and Japanese ones(2 bytes)

Apparently, Japanese Smileys(Emoticons) are read vertically while eastern Smileys(Emoticons) are read hosizontally. And Japanese Smileys have more variation than eastern ons. I think the reason is that while American(alphabet) letters in computer are 1 byte, Japanese letters in computer are 2 bytes, so Japanese letters can have more characters. And also, Japanese sentences contain Chinese characters which are phonograms, so it is easier to express and recognize something graphic with letters for Japanese people.
