Dear members of the Radical Party:

My name is Glenn Wheeler, and I am a journalist with NOW, the largest alternative weekly in Canada with a readership of more than 300,000. (Our online version is at www.nowtoronto.com).

I will be in Rome from March 12-20 and I would very much appreciate the opportunity to interview your leader, Marco Pannella. I have followed the work of the Radical Party since I visited Croatia in 1993 and met some party workers there. The beliefs of the Radical Party are similar to the editorial point of view of our paper - a commitment to radical change but accompanied through non-violent means. NOW, like the Radical Party, has also campaigned against destructive drug laws, which waste public resources and criminalize millions of people unnecessarily.

I am certain that our readers would appreciate reading about Mr. Pannella. I hope his schedule will permit a brief interview with me. You may contact me via email, phone +1-416-364-1300 ext. 337, or fax +1-416-364-1166.

Thank you in advance and I look forward to meeting you when I am in Rome.

Glenn Wheeler
