To all:- Very possibly writing letters is not your way to assist -- but PETITIONS is another very necessary way! Go to the following URL: http://www.globalgenealogy.com/census/petition.htm The PETITION MENU is varied -- you will be able to choose which one you wish to download -- all are 3 pages, and you might have to adjust the margins just a bit. Addresses are on the PETITIONS -- ones to the House of Commons go to Gordon Watts, 1455 Delia Drive, Port Coquitlam, BC V3C 2V9 I accept all PETITIONS for the Senate of Canada that are not mailed directly to a Senator at the Senate, also the Petition of Support for those Living Outside of Canada, to be used by Senator Lorna Milne. PETITIONS are in two favorites, Word (.doc) and WordPerfect (.wpd) Text is also available from <gordon_watts@telus.net> HOUSE OF COMMONS Petitions have both English and French versions. THE SENATE OF CANADA Petitions also has English and French NON-CANADA Petition is in English only. REQUEST:- Should you have guests from United States, they MUST sign the Non-Canada version -- do NOT combine Canadian and American or other signatures on the same petition. (It could be refused at Senate). Also, Non-Canadians should not sign petitions for House of Commons. I have been receiving petitions at the rate of one a day, both from Canada and United States --- keep them coming, please! The Meaning of Petitions:- WE cannot be there in person, but OUR signature can be. This is vacation time -- carry one with you!!! Great for campground fires! Family reunions are a big thing during the summer -- have both Canadian and Non-Canadian on hand. Any problem? Contact either Gordon Watts or myself. Muriel M.
