How about an item on the HOME page about how/where to get car stickers?

Perhaps an accessible database of contact details of 'stockists' of your stickers?

E.g. I got 60 from Antony, and gave 50 of them to my local Labor candidate Mark Ptolomy at Hazelbrook, NSW.

My point is: Maximise access to people who hold stocks of stickers.

Go Girl, Margo !!!!

NHJ (AL): Hi Gerry, thanks for your message. The best way to get stickers is writing to our email address: [email protected]. We're sending out stickers daily to numerous people around the country. Equally, contact the offices of John Valder in Sydney - 02-99296818. And if people want to tell us or show us how they've used the stickers, please do let us know.

NSW Liberal Party man-of-mystery and Corporate-Toucher-in-Chief Michael Yabsley reckons John Valder's snowballing campaign is a case of the old limelight deprivations. Last night's 7.30 Report on JV's campaign launch revealed that:

HEATHER EWART: Still, a former federal president of the Liberal Party criticising the PM can't expect to get off scot-free. The Howard Government has been coy to date about publicly attacking John Valder or Brian Deegan. But now former NSW Liberal minister Michael Yabsley has become its willing spokesman against Valder.
MICHAEL YABSLEY, FMR NSW MINISTER: I basically expressed my disgust at what he has done in terms of the assault that he's delivered against John Howard and the Federal Government. I think there are many people, I think the vast majority of people in the Liberal Party, feel that way.
HEATHER EWART: Late last week, Michael Yabsley fired off a fax to John V

WEDNESDAY 25TH AUGUST 2004 Does John Howard know which country he is Prime Minister of? Today in The Advertiser (South Australia), page 19, aprot pote David Hicks

Liar, Liar, Pants on Fire! Why has it taken so long for Howard and Co to finally feel the heat? More power to you Margo for taking the fight right to Howard.

I am continually amazed that up until now he seems to have escaped scott free. I firmly believe in Karma and that what goes around, comes around .... on that basis Howard has a a whole lot coming his way. As Bush might say . . . Bring it on!

It is fantasic to see that Johnny is starting to get spooked. Looks increasing like a rabbit caught in the head lights and with no where to run. ('Why won't people believe me?')

Together we must all help keep the heat up. If all of your supporters did just one little thing each day, such as a letter to a local paper or sending a sticker to known swinging voters, we would all be so much closer to a Howard free government.

I just did a search on Google and hit on an ide

A cry for help, folks, all the way from WA.

People complain that 'the campaign is dead' here in WA, and it makes me feel sick to the core, because no less than EIGHT Liberals hold the seats here in the West, and not a word is heard about them; most of them are 'We Are Very Happy John!' footsoldiers and disciples of The Lying Guru. Wilson 'Ironbar' Tuckey, happy to vilify both indigenous people and refugees, Daryl Williams, and so on - doesn't it make you cringe? The only one that should keep her seat is Judy Moylan - she's happy to tell folks she refused to vote when the TAMPA Bills were pushed through parliament, and she's an Iraq War dissenter.

Please, please, please. Cross the desert with a delegation of the Not Happy John! campaign, and come over and help. We will help organise, publish, push the media - because we need you!!!!

Here they are, the 'We Are Very Happy John!' team:

Canning (Don Randall) Marginal Liberal
Curtin (Julie Bishop) Safe

At last! Australia has a chance after all. Thanks to everyone involved!

Now - query: is there a NHJ! movement (?) on the Sunshine Coast, and if not - would anyone be interested in developing one? I was one of the lucky ones to get a NHJ! car sticker at the Sunshine Coast Uni on Sunday and appreciate being able to visibly demonstrate my 'Not Happy John' sentiments. Anyone interested in starting anything here, or who can give me information about an existing movement, please send me an email.

Thanks again - L C Whitton.

NHJ!(JR): No, thank you, Linda. The more localised groupings we get going across the country, especially if they can coalesce around a good local non-government/minor party/Independent/whatever democratic candidate, the better. So...calling any & all Sunshine seachangers, Labor centrists n' small-l Libs, hinterland hippies and hipsters, Montville and Maleny potters n' potterers, disgruntled deregulated

I saw on Sunday the story on JOHN VALDER and his Not Happy John stickers. I know that he is not directly related to you and this site, however that got me thinking about some sort of innovative direct action we can all participate in.

What about a photo competition where people send in pictures of these stickers on all of the institutions Howard has attacked and underminded.

Such as bulk billing clinics, military cars and trucks, and even better planes, ships and tanks!, government cars, public service offices such as defence. Even the detention centres.

A weekly prize would help generate interest and encourage supporters to go that extra mile to get a good shot. Love to see one on Costello's bumper or Alan Jones car.

It would garantee some great placement in the mainstream media and help keep the issue alive.

Not sure if you have John's (Valder NOT Howard's!!) email address but would appreciate if you could forward this onto him as well, i

Hi I am the franchise owner of Angus & Robertson Manly and was concerned to read that perhaps our company stores were not stocking NHJ. After investigation I find this is not the case. Of A&Rs 160 stores about 60 are franchises. A&R corporate are stocking the book and have sold over 2000 copies. The franchisees do indeed have the choice of what they keep in stock and we at Manly proudly sell NHJ. The only time we did not have stock was when the publisher unfortunately ran out and we had to wait for another print run. It is now back in the window and in many other prominent spots throughout the shop and we have many customers eagerly awaiting Margo's event with us coming up on September 15 where she will be our guest in discussion with Dr Peter Macdonald - Independent Mayor of Manly.

Liar Liar pants on fire!

The question is why has it taken so long for Howard and Co to start to feel the heat?

FINALLY with publications like your own the facts are starting to come home to roost.

This, much like Nixon, will be Howards lasting legacy ... that we have much to lose when people in power are not held accountable for what they say and what they do.

Not Happy, John is a powerful read. I find it quite a horror story and so do many of my friends and family members. It

I keenly watched the program on ABC, Tuesday 24/8/04 [The 7.30 Report - JR] and would like to know where I can get the great blue shirts with 'Not Happy, John' written on them. Please let me know, I would absolutely love one.

NHJ! (JR): As per Karen's query below, Kelly, try John Valder's Sydney campaign HQ 02-99296818 or email a query here.

John Howard stated on 23/08/2004 that he was disgusted with Mark Latham personally bagging him out and he said that he would never resort to those tactics. However I would like to inform Mr Howard that he was bagging out Mark Latham's physique after the cricket match that Mark Latham participated in some months ago.

Also, Mr Howard would alway find something about Simon Crean.

NOT HAPPY JOHN.

You are fast becoming a cause celebre! I have just attended John Valder's campaign launch in Eastwood and it was the most uplifting experience. So many different parties came together to unite on the one cause. I am very optimistic that I will be an extremely proud Australian again after the election.

I have purchased 100 stickers and will be giving them out. If only John Howard had given me a bigger tax cut, I would have bought 1000!

We're living in pre-fascist times, argues MK. Gerard Henderson, supporter of the status quo and ruffler of even fewer feathers, says not.

Henderson appears unmoved, unwilling or ignorant of the profound changes occurring under the watchful eye of John Howard. Gay marriage laws, illegally taking us into Iraq and treatment of asylum seekers are but some examples. The comparison is not with Hitler or Mussolini, but rather with newly created powers in the post 9/11 world, not least of which is terrifyingly repressive so-called anti-terrorism laws.

Then again, what do we expect from a former adviser to Howard himself?

And in other news...

As Hollywood star Matt Damon lands in Australia, news emerges that Moveon.org, America's premiere online activism force, will be launching a series of advertisements tom
