Fwd: [kwlug-disc] Meeting with (not so new) MPs in KW region.

  I am forwarding a letter I wrote for the Kitchener-Waterloo mailing
list post-election that applies to people nationally as well.  It is
in reply to a letter archived at
http://kwlug.org/pipermail/kwlug-disc_kwlug.org/2011-May/008518.html

Summary:

  a) We need to be busy this summer talking to MPs about copyright.
The more they speak with people from our community, the better.  There
are many misconceptions we can help clear up.

  b) Given we are in a majority government situation, we need to frame
our interactions in a way that will be embraced by that majority
government (currently Conservative).  I give some suggestions in this
email.

Any other ideas?  Discussion?  Proposals for events/meetings/etc?

 A majority government is a majority government, not matter what
party is in power.  While I am not a fan of single-party majority
