IT ' S PETITION TIME AGAIN!

Something is wrong with blogware, they are looking into it. Our first batch of petitions will be presented in the Ontario Legislature today by MPP Julia Munro. We plan to send petitions along as they are signed to keep the issue on the floor until the next election, when McGuinty will hopefully be ousted. If you LIVE IN ONTARIO, please print out a petition from the attached file and try to get it signed. Each page holds 10 signatures, so it's easy to count how many you have collected. You can also get the petition at this link: http://caveat.blogware.com/Petition%20to%20Repeal%20BSL.pdf Be careful when getting signatures. Smudges, crossouts, etc, can invalidate an entire page of petitions. All RESIDENTS OF ONTARIO may sign, including those who have not reached the age of majority. I am taking these to dog shows on a clipboard and asking people to sign. There are many opportunities to get signatures - at the dog park, the pet food shop, the groomers, among family and friends, etc. Once you have some signatures - you don't need a full sheet - please mail them to: Julia Munro, MPP P O Box 1129 18977 Leslie Street Sharon ON L0G 1V0 OR: Julia Munro MPP Room 204 North Wing Legislative Building Queen's Park Toronto, ON M7A 1A8 THANK YOU FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION.
