Subject: Friends of the EISC - 27 dozen roses, each individually tagged with

a message asking the MPs to support the Jennings' Pesticide Bill were

delivered to Parliament today.

Would you kindly let your LISTS members and, by extension, related LISTS know

that the Environmental Illness Society of Canada (EISC) today delivered 27

dozen roses to the Parliament of Canada in support of the Jennings' Pesticide

Bill.

Whereas the roses could not be placed on MPs desks, for they would be

considered props and that is against House Rules, our EISC volunteers tagged

each rose with a label asking each MP to get a GRIP on what is important to

the health of Canadians and urging them to support the Jennings' Private

Member (Pesticide) Bill and, they then made alternate arrangements that

ensured that all MPs received a clear Valentine's Day message from the

Canadian public.

Roses for the MP's of each party were delivered to the offices of all five

party's WHIPs for distribution to each of their MPs.

I'd like to pass along our thanks to those who generously supported this

awareness raising and action-oriented initiative, by making donations to the

EISC to help us cover costs. They made it entirely possible for the 324

roses to be purchased and, for this action to succeed.

Yours in health,
