The clock is ticking down to the 29^th October.  The GE moratorium is due to come off then, but I’m encouraged by the strength of feeling against releasing GE here.

The emotion is there, but what people urgently need is good, accurate information and ways to speak out.  That’s why I’m delighted to see a new network, 90 degrees, sending out free fortnightly updates on GE.

Below are sample stories from their first email update, out next week.  You can sign up for personalised updates here <http://www.90degrees.net.nz/register.aspx> .  I’ve signed up myself, and I hope you will too.

Please forward this email to all your friends, or click on this link <http://www.90degrees.net.nz/emailafriend.aspx> to send them information from the 90 degrees website.  Who do you know that needs more information to decide whether releasing GE is the right thing for New Zealand?

We have 75 days left.  Can you reach 75 more people?
