These are exciting days to be a New Democrat. As our party gears up to fight the next election campaign, I’d like to take this opportunity to tell you about some of the new ways we are bringing our message of economic prosperity, social progress and environmental responsibility to the people of Saskatchewan.

As always, your New Democratic MLAs and candidates are busy knocking on doors in communities and neighbourhoods right across the province, sharing our message and, even more importantly, listening to the views, concerns and dreams of Saskatchewan people.

I have always enjoyed getting out and meeting the people of Saskatchewan. That's why I make it a priority to attend hundreds of events a year all around this great province.

With modern technology comes modern communications and the Internet revolution is not stopping at the doors of politics. That is why I have joined thousands of Saskatchewan residents on one of the internet’s largest social networking groups, Facebook. Now, Facebook members can contact me with comments, questions and new ideas. It’s also a great way to show support for our party.

Whether it be good old fashioned mixing and mingling with neighbours and friends, or using exciting new forums like Facebook, it is all about reaching out to people, and listing to their hopes and dreams, and ideas about how to make life better here in Saskatchewan.

We have worked hard, as a government and as a party, to make Saskatchewan the best place to live, work and raise a family. Together, we can ensure that the benefits of that hard work are enjoyed by all Saskatchewan families for generations to come.
