Here is a place where you can contact them directly:<BR/><A HREF="http://www.ndp.ca/contact" REL="nofollow">http://www.ndp.ca/contact</A><BR/><BR/>I can't speak for the entire NDP party. I'm one volunteer in the campaign for one riding, the campaign to elect Rob Hutchison. Rob is a great guy who has been active in the community for 15 years. He actually founded Kingston's independent (non-corporate) newspaper, PIC Press.<BR/><BR/>Please pass your questions about why the NDP platform doesn't include certain things on to the federal party, at the URL I listed above.<BR/><BR/>I also don't know the names of all the donors to the NDP. I can tell you, though, that of the major parties, the NDP receives by far the least proportion of number of donations from corporations. Unions and individuals are much bigger contributors to the NDP than corporations... something that's not true for the Liberals or Conservatives.Natalkahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17904243446473763995noreply@blogger.com
