Strategist

Reader Poll 2000

by Brian Train



Please answer as many questions as you wish. When done, remove the page and mail to the Editor. You will have to donate an envelope and a stamp (remember also that you are sending to a Canadian address, so postage is a bit higher) to The Cause, but this gives you a chance to add comments at length. Please try to have your response postmarked no later than October 1, 2000, in order to give the Editor enough time to tabulate the responses and announce them in the November issue of Strategist. (You can also fill out this poll electronically. Go to http://www.islandnet.com/~citizenx/sgspoll.html and follow the instructions. Much faster and cheaper, too!)

THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.
