With a stable majority government for the next four years and the Liberal Party still reeling from the election results, Prime Minister Stephen Harper\u2019s Conservative Party is calling on supporters to dip into their wallets to help the party counter a new foe.<\/p>\n
In a letter sent out in the past few days, Conservative Party President John Walsh is urging supporters to help the party counter a \u201chailstorm\u201d of negative attacks from the media, pundits and the \u201copinion elite.\u201d<\/p>\n
Walsh says the party had to fight off attacks during the last election and expects them to continue.<\/p>\n
