Was it really Noam? How can you tell with an online petition. Did Finian and Joan sign the online petution or did you contact them? Someone could post as Bertie. Hmmm, thats an idea.
"83. Bertie Ahern Fianna Fail "
There Bertie is now a supporter of the campaign.These online petitions are useless. You cannot trust them. I hope John and his variant of the Fourth International learns somethging from this.
The CWI are supporting P-SOL in the election against sell-out Lula. So you could add their TD (J. Higgins) and 4 Cllrs (M.Barry, R. Coppinger, C. Daly, M. Murphy) to list of supporters.
Helena Heloisa came third in the first round of Brazil's Presidential Election on October 1 - she got 6.85% of valid votes (6.575 million votes).
