It has been one of the central organizations we have been trying to support and assist. We believe that without an open internet, free from throttling, and accessible to all, our movement is hooped. I know Steve well enough to say with certainty, his heart is with us and he would have an interest in helping, it is just a question of what they can actually do to help. Open Media’s power has grown from zero, to nearly 700,000 supporters of their various campaigns in a little more than 5-7 years. They are now self-sufficient. Their success is largely due to the incredible leadership provided by Steve. A generous and great person to learn from even if he cannot help directly on this issue. I hear from others his door is always open for sharing the knowledge he has gotten at the sidewalk university, where he earned a PHD. Steve is one of the most talented leader’s and skilled campaigner’s we know. We hope you people can come together somehow. Steve check out Operation Maple which Bert and Stephanie are part of, who are cced here. They too are interested in on the ground organizing as is Shit Harper Did. Bridgette, who is also copied here, says you are helping them as well. They too are contemplating on the ground organizing in the Alinsky model, in swing ridings. No Robo is as well. (now called Stop Election Fraud.ca) It is headed up by Simon Roland’s, and Chris Miller. </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Cheers, </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Michael Goodman, Founding Director </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Smart Change</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>1000 - 850 West Hastings St </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Vancouver, BC V6C 1E1</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="tel:604-569-2015" target="_blank">604-569-2015</a> Office</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="tel:604-569-2014" target="_blank">604-569-2014</a> Fax </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'><a href="tel:778-895-5365" target="_blank">778-895-5365</a> Cell</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt'><a href="mailto:mgoodman@shaw.ca" target="_blank"><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>mgoodman@shaw.ca</span></a></span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-size:10.0pt'><a href="http://www.smartchange.ca" target="_blank"><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>www.smartchange.ca</span></a></span><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA><a href="http://www.goodmanfund.com" target="_blank"><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>www.goodmanfund.com</span></a></span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:red'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:red'> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> John Anderson [mailto:<a href="mailto:bcacornva@acorncanada.org" target="_blank">bcacornva@acorncanada.org</a>] <br><b>Sent:</b> Thursday, July 18, 2013 8:36 AM<br><b>To:</b> Michael Goodman<br><b>Cc:</b> <a href="mailto:Kay@acorncanada.org" target="_blank">Kay@acorncanada.org</a>; <a href="mailto:deveauxbabinproductions@rogers.com" target="_blank">deveauxbabinproductions@rogers.com</a>; <a href="mailto:sgauthier8@gmail.com" target="_blank">sgauthier8@gmail.com</a>; Wade Rathke; Scott Nunn<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: personal note,</span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA> </span><o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA>Thanks Michael!</span><o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA> </span><o:p></o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span lang=EN-CA>Bert and Stephanie ~ Would be great if you wanted to meet up sometime to discuss these possibilities.

The real solution is for the CRTC to mandate that companies provide internet at a reasonable price to low income people.
