Tim's Tip
of the Day
|
Politicians are listening and will hear what you have to say and
will respond to your concerns. Though the system lumbers along some times we citizens
have a serious responsibility in voicing our opinions on issues like the Romanow
report, employment insurance, no fault insurance, military spending and lots of other
things. Email, fax, telephone or use snail mail it is your right as a citizen and
everything counts.
|
