The Canadian Federation of Jewish Students with Hasbara Fellowships Presents www.ISRAELVOTES2006.ca <http://www.israelvotes2006.ca/> Your Chance to Join In On March 28th, Israelis will be voting for their new leadership. >From Canada, all that we can normally do is watch. This year, the Canadian Federation of Jewish Students along with Hasbara Fellowships is bringing the Israeli elections to you. We are giving Canadian students a chance to take part in mock Israeli elections. IsraelVotes2006.ca <http://www.israelvotes2006.ca/> is your gateway to learn about the parties, leaders, and issues and to vote for the party of your choice. The website includes information on all of the parties and leaders, as well as news on the election. After learning about the parties and issues you get the chance to vote by choosing your campus from the dropdown menu and filling out the online ballot. It's that easy! This is a great opportunity to engage in Israeli life and to show others the vibrant democracy in Israel. At the end, we will see how each campus, and how Canadian students as a whole, voted. Don't miss this great opportunity!
