Dear Sally
This looks good - I've been thinking of a line (for our Campaign for
Interest-Free Money) something along the lines of:
'Interest-Free Money - *The* route to a guaranteed income for all.'
Incidentally, our co-campaigner, Kevin Donnelly ( of the Christian Council
for Monetary Justice ) has been/is North West England organiser for the
BIRG/Citizen's Income efforts: the nets link !
So man y money angles !
BTW - Paulatte and I will be in Toronto from 15 Dec to 15 Jan-ish (with an
Ottawa interlude.) Perhaps we might meet at some time - our phone inMarkam
will be (905) 471 0320.
Keep at it !
