      What sort of results? Do I get a response? Yes. Do I see changes
    coming from my email/letters? No.
      That said - how many other citizens of this great country are
    writing  to their reps in provincial and federal govt?

      A lone voice, or a few lone voices, aren't going to make a

about
   our indigenous people?

      Fear is being pummeled into the US psyche on a daily basis. Turn 
on
    any US channel - especially CNN or Fox News...and listen to the
    language of the anchors... If we aren't concerned about terrorism - 
there's the
    bird flu/SARS pandemic to strike fear in the minds of listeners...or 
China, or
    Korea.... It's absurd. imo...

      Something needed to be done?  So, you're pro illegal invasion to 
boost
    the US economy?
