This is a good first step

It would be really useful to try and find out if any of the 162 people
who signed would do any of the following:

a) give introductions to any fellow candidates/representatives from
their party who did not sign

b) tell us about IT policy creation in their party (e.g. do they have
a policy committee, mailing list, etc) and would they welcome FSFE
participation (e.g. a guest speaker at a committee meeting)

c) discuss IT usage in their party (e.g. if they are a big party, do
they have IT staff of their own, does somebody in their party run an
IT company and give them all help)

These could all lead to more opportunities next time around and also
an opportunity to replicate this campaign at national level (e.g.
British elections next year)
