Petition to Restore Funding to Dept. of Foreign Affairs and International Trade.

Dear Friends of the Arts,

I have just read and signed the online petition:
"Restore Funding to Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT)"
hosted on the web by PetitionOnline.com, the free online petition
service, at:

http://www.PetitionOnline.com/DFAIT07/

I personally agree with what this petition says, and I think you might
agree, too. If you can spare a moment, please take a look, and consider
signing yourself.
