47. HERE is WHY....
Hi all,

There seems to be some doubt this is a good idea, but it is and here is why. We have a truckload of election fraud, suppression, machine problems, rowdy partisan officials, hypocracy from the President and his party regarding the Ukraine Presidential election, etc., and all we were missing was a reason to get it on Canadian tekevision screens for more than a fraction of a second.

This puts the story in their backyard. They can lead with the "conspiracy is coming to Toronto" lead if they wish, but they can backfill with plenty of good, solid data.

Please read my sample letter (and the suggestion below) and let's take this opportunity to get this story on their TVs. :)

Make better sense? This has little to do with Madsen. If he is writing giberish, let the Canadian media give him hell for it. In the meantime, let's show them there is a story here worth covering.

The Madsen piece is the "in." Where it goes from there depends on how Canadians react to the news the US Presidential election, and "4 more years" of Mr. Bush and his policies are in question. (BTW, I don't think they care for him much in general.) Also, keep in mind that this is a country that has invited him to visit in the next few days and has had at least one group inform the Prime Minister that they would be either obligated to arrest Mr. Bush for war crimes if he came without the Prime Minister's invite, or try the Prime Minister for aiding a war criminal if he does. The story of Mr. Bush's possible illegitamacy will surely go a long way up there; at least better than down here.

Hope that makes sense. :)

Warmly,

George
