<DIV><SPAN class=892092501-13022006><FONT face=Arial size=2>Although I would
like to coordinate a protest, I am a single mom, working full time, and I'm
involved in a half dozen environmental initiatives. For example, I'm mailing out
300 letters tomorrow to help get 1000 signatures for a climate change
petition, reporting on issues for the Environmental Advisory Committee,
writing an article this week for Peace and Environment News, and going to the
public meeting about nuclear power at the Ottawa Congress Centre tomorrow
evening. All to say, I'm already overextended. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

organizing a demonstration? I think having it next Saturday after the Veggie
Meet-Up would be a great idea. Everyone could head over to the Chinese embassy
after eating. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Eidelweiss- if you're willing to speak to media
maybe you might as well co-ordinate aswell? <STRONG>Where is the
Chinese</STRONG> <STRONG>embassy?</STRONG> <STRONG>Also, what is
falun gong?</STRONG> So many people protest on Parliament Hill-it is
boring to media but the embassy would be different and more controversial
which ups our chances at media. I think a Saturday is better personally
despite the veggie meet-up date (personally). I also really think this
one should be advertised too somehow. We NEED numbers. I was thrilled and
surprised to get 18 on Saturday but thought this was lucky eg. not usually
quite so many show. I definately think its' because it was on a Saturday.
</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>That is hillarious about the Chinese embassy
statement/contradiction to the U.S. I can't take this anymore about the
media ignoring us especially after reading the vivid skinning
description. What will it take folks? can we think of something? If I had
some drinks post protest I'm at the point of feeling ok with dousing myself
in red paint...I don't suppose anyone else is at this point regarding the
situation?</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE>
