Over to you

The Greens Ryan campaign recently had a phone call from a retired stockman and Vietnam vet, who used to live in a community that voted solidly National. He’s now living in Ryan, and wanted to tell me how profoundly impressed he is by Bob Brown. This is one of many calls we’ve had from people who never before contemplated voting Greens.





This of course has the other side worried, and true to form they are resorting to dishonest attack ads, claiming that the Greens are trying to stop recreational fishing. The truth is that the Greens want to limit recreational fishing in scientifically determined biodiversity hotspots – a tiny fraction of the coastline. The only change most recreational fishers will see is improved catches resulting from better management of our natural resources.

We of course do not have the funding the anti-environment campaigners can throw at the last days of the campaign, but you can make a difference. All it takes is this:

Compose an email in your own words, explaining why you switched to the Greens, and send it to all your contacts that may think the same way as you do. And ask them to do the same. Here are a few things you could point them to:

You may also want to point at some of the score cards we’ve accumulated on this site:

If you want to be part of the change that’s sweeping the country, do this now. There’s no time to waste.

Send out emails, use Facebook and tweet. Let’s turn the tide.
