mike seaward take him off the list I wont stand to see a false advocate for copyright. why did you deem it necessary to remove this comment? Call him yourself find his number on ndp website.
October 6th, 2008 at 9:16 pm
Sorry. Remove what comment?
Cheers!

Oh good, my local MP is on that list.
Now if I just had some government so I could vote
October 6th, 2008 at 9:41 pm
Sorry I posted a comment came back and there were no comments perhaps I fkd up.
Call Mr Seaward ask him specifics about any proposed copyright bill.

sparta,
Is this a candidate in your riding? If so, then you should be the one calling him up. Candidates tend not to pay attention to people outside their own ridings during an election.

Jean Crowder has my vote.
October 6th, 2008 at 10:23 pm
I have… sorry I was still lurkin caught your comment.
No response to emails and calls over the period of a month. I gave one call per week to acknowledge that my questions had been received the only response given was a press release by charlie angus. So someone in the NDP has a good opinion of copyright reform however this particular candidate does not.

Why don’t we get intelligent stuff like this down HERE in the “land of the Free?”
(Oh wait — Sarah Palin is a “hockey-mom!”)
