Hi Patty -- Everyone takes vacations, so why not take a census petition on a vacation!!! There would be no problem as long as each one is kept separate -- if in United States or some exotic place, the Non-Resident must be used. I am copying this to all committee members so they remember to pack the suitable petitions for where he or she may be going. Remember -- the same person may sign both Senate and House of Commons -- also, when mailing, send to either Gordon or myself -- we exchange mail periodically. Muriel [P.S. -- Even Senator Lorna Milne takes vacations -- so we will be able to surprise her with travelling petitions!] ----- Original Message ----- From: "pmcgr" <pmcgr@allstream.net> To: <CANADA-CENSUS-CAMPAIGN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, October 05, 2004 6:18 PM Subject: Re: Post-1901 Census -- Another BLUE Symbol in the Garbage > Hi Gordon and Muriel > > My petitions will go in the mail to you tomorrow.
