Russell,
I'm sure lots of people would find that extremely useful, especially given the nature of the current election campaign and the number of issues that will likely fall through the cracks without citizen action.
I'll do what I can to get the word out if you do set it up.
Regards,
Judyth

N.B. I am off-line much of the time these days: please
phone if you need me urgently, and bear with me if less
urgent matters take a while to resolve.
