Hi there,
as you may already know from listening to the news, a "tent city" has been
set up across the street from Russell MacLellan's house in Sydney to
protest government's inadequate actions in protecting the health of those
people who live across from the coke oven site.

They are asking for your support. You can do this three ways:

1. mail them a letter of support - address it to Tent City (the post office
has agreed to  deliver mail to that address), Sydney NS

2. Call them with your support.   cell phone number: 902-565-6722

3. If you have some time to camp out with them, just show up and be a part
of it all. If the numbers of people camped out there grew, this would
undoubtedly make it impossible for Russell MacLellan, or anyone else for
that matter, to ignore them.

and finally: (my addition) - make it an election issue - ask all the
parties what they plan to do to help those who are living beside this toxic
stew - it's time human health becomes an election priority.


Thankyou,

on behalf of Tent City,

linda pannozzo
