A brief sampling of the reaction received in our mailbox over the past few days...

I've only been able to attend the initial forum and the people's referendum, but I want to thank you for continuing to go forward with all your actions. It might be the same ten or eleven of you in body at all the protests, as Harper claims, but you are representing far more people than yourselves. Everyone in the riding I have spoken with, about this issue, is furious at Emerson, and want to see a byelection occur. Even on a recent trip to Berlin, I found ex-pats talking about the Emerson issue! And I wasn't the person who brought the topic up! The people I spoke with in Berlin were obviously outraged by Emerson's actions. C.V. Vancouver-Kingsway

Keep up the good work, wish I lived down in your area so I could stand with you. D.H., BC

Thank you to all in this riding to keep up the campaign to de-elect Emerson. I would love to have a sign here, in Ontario, as this effects my riding too. What I mean is that democracy and more importantly local democracy is at stake. J.J., Ontario (sign on the way!)

How can the Ethics Commissioner state that there was no inducement for David Emerson to "cross the floor" ( the floor of his living room?) when he immediately received a cabinet post in the Conservative government. If that's not inducement, I don't know what is... I'm still fuming. I am not a member of any political party and until the Emerson affair came up, I wasn't interested in politics but I sure am now.
