Open Space Online Nomination (2 Voting Days Left)

[Allison & Jim Baensch]

Hi Gabriela,
Congratulations on your selection for the PoliticsOnline list!
I just voted after some earlier difficulties with trying to access  
the site some days ago.
Whoever votes are the right ones, at the right time.
All the best with whatever happens,
from Allison
(in Healesville, south-eastern Australia, on a cool, still blossomy,  
spring, Saturday morning).
