style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Thanks for your offer
to take up the cause from a legal perspective, Neil. However, it is too
late for us to implement that plan since the city waited until the
11<SUP>th</SUP> hour to cancel my appearance as a delegation and I’m sure we
can’t pull a legal response together in time for them to reconsider before the
meeting tomorrow evening. I have decided for certain that I will respond
to their decision with a symbolic gesture and will be in the downtown
<st1:City w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Kitchener</st1:place></st1:City> area
from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. tomorrow night handing out literature on the
street. I had planned to devote that time to attending the council
meeting, so I might as well do something for the campaign in that time.
Although they have tried to silence our call for public education on the
issue, I won’t let them silence us because I will take the message to the
street. As far as I know, I still have freedom of speech on the
sidewalk. Please correct me if I am wrong.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>

had about 60-70 people at the Market today. We managed to dispel a bit
of the fear-mongering out there and actually explain the situation. One
common response we are getting to asking people if they'd like to learn about
the referendum is that they've already voted. Eitherway, we did have
some success.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
<P><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Donna, on
a side note here, would you be able to get the clerk to put the city's refusal
into a letter, stating the judicial reasoning (aka the name of the case) they
are relying upon. I'd be happy to take a look at it if time
permits. When is the meeting? Monday night I imagine? Often times
cases like these are qualified, and we may be able to find an angle to allow
us to get in to this meeting. It shouldn't be to our detriment that the
NoMMP side is a no show, right? So long as the NoMMP side has notice, I
don't really understand why we should be barred from speaking. Let
me know if there is much point, as I am guessing the meeting is o! n
Monday.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P>
