<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">Hi guys, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">The vegmisc mailing list is having some bugs
worked out.... of course THAT mailing list would screw up (grr)... anyway, if
any of you have been sending emails to vegmisc... that will explain why they
never got sent to the list. You will have to repost them once the mailing list
is back up and working (hope soon).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Arial Narrow">And a reminder, there will be no meetup until the
new year.. And if you don't hear from me before then, Merry Christmas and Happy
New Year!</FONT></DIV>

participate in the debate:</FONT></DIV>

<P>I signed a petition calling on the broadcast consortium in Canada to
include Jim Harris, Leader of the Green Party of Canada, in the 2005/2006
televised leaders’ debates.
<P>Despite being a national party with widespread public support and a
full slate of 308 candidates, the Green Party of Canada was excluded from
the nationally-televised leaders’ debates in the 2004 federal election.
<P>Now the broadcast consortium that controls the debate is trying to
exclude Green Party of Canada leader Jim Harris again during the 2005/2006
election. This despite the fact that 4.3% of voters voted for the Green
Party of Canada in 2004 and polls show that literally millions of
Canadians say they would consider voting green in this election.
<P>The Green Party of Canada must be included in the election debate.
<P>I encourage you to learn more about this issue and to sign the petition
calling for the Green Party to be included in the debate at <A
