1. Thank you for posting this...I've signed the petition..

Posted it to Facebook and restarted an old twitter account to spread the word...

But what I want to do...and just can't figure out how to do it is to email this info to my sons in Toronto...I'm currently out of the country.

So many thanks for keeping Canadians informed....sorry for the one question...I've never figured out how to email a DU thread , or this info in particular to others with a wider and more youthful spread of friends. Thanks again

3. emailing a link to a DU thread

Hi nenagh, glad you found this info useful. Sorry I have been out all day and just noticed your question.

You can send a link to the thread in the body of an email if you want to inform someone else about this thread and/or have them read it for themselves.

Assuming you are using Internet Explorer or Firefox as your browser, if you left click on the File option on the top left of the browser window you should see in the drop down list an option to Send (in Internet Explorer) or Send File (in Firefox). If you click on Send or Send File you will then be presented with an opportunity to insert an email address of someone you would like to send an email containing a clickable link containing the URL of this thread. Other browsers and operating systems might have slightly different ways of accomplishing the same task, but IE and Firefox in Windows are the only two I am familiar with.

If that doesn't work for you, you can always use your mouse to manually copy and paste the URL from the address bar of your browser into an open email from your email program, and then send the email containing the pasted link. When you open up this thread on DU with my original post at the top, and you check the address bar which shows the URL near the top of the browser window, you should see this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1087298 . That is what is known as the URL (universal resource locator) of this thread and this is what I am referring to has to be copied and pasted into the body of the email you are sending.

Not sure how computer savy you are. If the above info still doesn't help and you have trouble copying and pasting using the mouse, then you can just manually type into the body of the email the URL starting with "http" as I have shown it above and as you will find it in the address bar in your browser.

When the recipient of the email receives the email he/she can then either click on the URL to open up this thread in their own browser, or should their email program not permit that action (some emails might not allow it) they can reverse the process and copy and past the URL from their email into the address bar of their web browser.

Hope this helps
