Anybody out there? We've got to shift this!

Hey, fellow members of my riding! Anybody out there? We're in a Swing Riding, and we've got some work to do to unseat the Conservative incumbent. We've got more than enough people among those whose hearts are really with the Greens or NDP to get Paul Macklin and Stephane Dion elected. Since I moved to Northumberland—Quinte West 15 years ago, I've always voted strategically. I was a life-long NDPer until I moved out here; now, my heart I've come to believe that the Greens are the party for the future. But this election is different. Stephen Harper represents a threat to all that most of us hold dear and he will do permanent damage to the environment and to our social structure if he is given any more time to carry out his agenda. I agree with Elizabeth May when she said that the most important thing Canadians can do right now for the environment is to vote strategically to unelect Stephen Harper. And so I will vote for Paul Macklin this election. At least this time when I vote Liberal, I won't have to hold my nose like I have on certain other occasions! I really LIKE Stephane Dion. He shines through as a caring, gentle, intelligent man who really cares about Canada. He does not represent the old Liberals — he's a New Liberal, really! Don't know why he doesn't call himself that. He's a good man. Voting strategically won't be so painful this time! BEsides, I see that voting Smart will give greens and NDPers more seats than they'd otherwise get. So where are you guys?
