'Mr' Graham is Member of Parliament for Toronto Centre,
Rosedale, my riding in downtown Toronto. As such, I recieve
monthly newsletters from his office headquarters, along with
contact information. I'm not naive enough to believe that by
barraging him with complaints concerning his, and the governments
of Canada's, stance on Iraq will this have a decisive impact on
deciding the fate of its people in the coming days or weeks, let
alone changing the stance of Graham's ("Liberal") party. But, it's
worth while to at least have our feelings heard, not to mention
remind imperialist lap dogs such as Graham that his actions might
potentially hurt his chances at reelection. In other words, let's rattle
this guy a bit. It could potentially create tensions within his
caucas, especially in the scenario that he comes to work
complaining about having recieved 500 calls, e-mails or faxes from
disgruntled "supporters". It's beside the point whether the letters
were actually written by persons from his riding. Just make up a
name!
Please pass on this message to other lists and individuals.

> destructive to global governance'', Mr. Graham argued,
> going on to say that the U.S. President, George W.

> about Saddam Hussein. What we didn't want was to take

> order. If we take action within the framework of the
> United Nations, it's a totally different debate''.
> Ottawahas warned the Saddam regime of using this as a

> "One of the most important things this time is to have

> reaffirming the need for inspections and setting out
