Blacklist Me, Too

The December issue of the Bulletin contains an article entitled Agency Denounces Academics for Anti-War Sentiments. The agency is the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, founded by Lynne Cheney and Joseph Lieberman. The agency published a list of more than 100 faculty members accused of failing America.

I'm a citizen of Canada living and working in Canada. McCarthyism, Cheney-Liebermanism, is as much a threat to me and to you as it is to our American colleagues. Accordingly, I would like to add my name to the list published by the American Council. Can CAUT inform me and similarly-minded people how to go about this?
