What concerns me most is the fact that I am pretty much powerless to do anything to help with this situation.

I mean, we can't do much more in Canada--Chretien already dislikes Bush. Various polls show that the average Canadian doesn't buy into his rhetoric. (Although his support rating has been known to change periodically) What's left after that?

What concerns me most is that at least US citizens get to vote against Bush. My Prime Minister apparently values the opinion of GWB more highly than the opinion of his party, his voters and his country, and there's nothing I can do about it. I've written to my Member of Parliament, and he claimed to share many of my concerns. Labour MPs, former Cabinet Ministers and the Father of the House have all excoriated Blair in the hope of persuading him to listen to his own country, without success. All we can do is wait for you guys to take care of this!

My pleasure.

Anyone know a site with a large list of messageboards?

If on that site, there is a way to figure out who is behind this effort, and to what group you're providing your identity, I don't see it. Why would that be? Now what was that Poindexter program called? Total Information Awareness or something?
