#6 ... FELDSTED -- If we are consistent and persistent, we can change the dialogue of the next general election and force politicians to heed our concerns for a change (September 8th)
People ask
me what we can do to bring about real change – There’s A Lot We Can Do! In the

93 seats (27.5%) -- they are vulnerable to change ...
