To all:- The subject line states a big problem!! Canadians sign both Senate and House of Commons petitions, in either language (his/her choice). Signers from outside of Canada -- or Non-Canadian Residents sign the Non-Resident petition. Today I received two long-awaited petitions, one for the Senate, and to my surprise, the other one was Non-Resident. PROBLEM: On the Non-Resident Petition there were about 16 signatures, only THREE (3) of them from United States. Yes, I will be able to use this petition -- only by drawing a line through Canadian addresses -- problem is, I know all of them! IDENTIFY YOUR PETITIONS:- The committee which examines petitions (after Gordon Watts and I use our "eagle eyes") would not dump a petition if YOU Mark CANADIAN RESIDENTS in upper right corner of Pg. 2, the page with eight (8) spaces. Mark NON-CANADIAN in upper right corner of Page 2, the page also has eight (8) spaces. Some petition signature collectors STAPLE a nice note at the top, in BRIGHT colour printing -- a staple is easily removed. There is also a brightly coloured sign waiting to be printed. PLEASE follow the above -- we do not want YOUR collections in File 13!! Muriel M.
