Message-ID: The following message is making it around the Green circles, and hopefully through to media circles who will contact Greg and Raphael. ---cut--- Ralph Nader, one of the Candidates for U.S. President, is interested in shoehorning a visit to his country's largest trading partner August 29-30. The visit (to Toronto) has not yet been confirmed, and his campaign office wants to "ensure that there is significant interest". If he plans travel by train I am considering trying to organize a rolling media conference starting at Niagara... ---cut--- As my signature has indicated in the past little while, there are a number of elections happening right now where Green candidates are involved. Here in Ontario Mark Coakley is running in Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Aldershot: In B.C. there is a Federal by-election where Joan Russow (Leader of the Green Party of Canada) is running against Stockwell Day (as well as other candidates) in Okanagan-Coquihalla: (Note: This site is syndicated on http://my.netscape.com and http://my.userland.com - see the campaign site for links) And of course with the U.S. election happening there are many other candidates, with the high-profile presidential candidacy of Ralph Nader For those interested in getting involved in the potential rolling media conference, please send a message to: Greg Bonser and Raphael Thierran --- Russell McOrmond, Internet Consultant: Elect Joan Russow in Okanagan-Coquihalla Elect Ralph Nader for U.S. President!
