Well done, you. I admire you for not just being informed about the issue, but doing something about it. I bet you all woke some people up this morning. :-)

WTB Gov't rep that does suck.

Excellent! Here's hoping MP Prentice actually listened.

Hi Alyssa,

Thanks for taking time to write about the rally and sharing your personal experiences.

Cheers,
Kempton

P.S. By my counting, I would put our crowd as 50-60 people (including those that line up early or join us later).

Hey there! Great blog posting. I just have one small correction for you. The official opposition and other parties don't have ministers, only critics.

Keep up the copyfight!
