Paul's note: sust-mar is backlogged. Please get your messages in EARLY!
I'm consolidating the following four so they'll get out on time.
But it is less work for me and more effective for you and your issue if
you get your submissions in 2-3 weeks early.

Hello everyone:
The Council of Canadians has an incredible opportunity coming our way
in the days ahead . We have a chance to push McDonald's to go GE
free in North America.
The Council of Canadians, along with Greenpeace Canada, Gene Allies,
and Sierra Club will come together on Thursday December 14th to hold
demonstrations at McDonald's restaurants in communities across
Canada. We are inviting Council chapters to participate in their
own communities to make our voices even louder.
Here's why we're doing this on such short notice:
The European division of McDonald's, who has already gone GE-free due
to public pressure, recently capitulated to PETA (People for Ethical
Treatment of Animals) and also eliminated genetically modified
organisms (GMOs) from their animal feed. In light of these recent
events, we have reason to believe that the North American division of
McDonald's is very concerned about becoming a target of anti-GE
demonstrations and may be considering going GE-free in Canada and the
USA.
We have decided, along with the groups cited above, to confirm
McDonald's fears and leaflet their restaurants on December 14th to
tell them that if they can go GE-free in Europe, they can do it here
too.
We realize that many chapters are already holding demonstrations
against Loblaw's on December 9th, so this new action would only be
for those chapters who feel that you have the time, energy and desire
to participate. No pressure... but it could be fun!
We are asking chapters to have a few people leaflet a McDonald's
restaurant in their community at lunch time on December 14.
Let us know by Friday, December 8th if you want to participate and
how many leaflets you will need and we will make sure they are sent
to you. You can send your responses to me at vgibb-
carsley@canadians.org.
For more information about the actions, visit the Greenpeace website
at http ://www.greenpeacecanada.org/e/home.html
thanks and best wishes.

A word from our lawyers ...
Don't forget ... COPYRIGHT material, such as newspaper/magazine articles
cannot be posted on sust-mar without the owner's permission. It's against
the law. CROSS-POSTINGS (messages from other lists) are also discouraged.
In either case, why not tell us something about the issue in your own
words? Or ... send a clipping along with the URL where the original can be
found, or directions how to join the list it came from?
Takes a few more minutes, but makes for a more interesting sust-mar ... :)
