> 2) Blog it, link it on your website, put a link to it in your  
> organizations' newsletter etc.
>
> 3) Make it the top story on Care2.com  Our friend Justin in  
> Washington DC has posted the story on the site he works for -  
> www.Care2.com (a really interesting online news network and social  
> issues forum with over 6 million members), and he really wants to  
> make sure that his members (particularly the Canadian ones) see

>
> By 'noting' it, you can help make this the top story on Care2, and  
> drive a bunch of new traffic to The Tyee.

> You have to be a member to 'note.'  If you're note a member of

> And then, here's all you have to do:
>
> 1) Click this link - http://www.care2.com/news/member/ 
> 620835120/279509 - and then click on the yellow 'Note' icon (like a

> 2) Now take your time and read the article: Canada Sleeps Through  
> The War To Save The Internet: http://thetyee.ca/Mediacheck/
