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.

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.
