From paul_nijjar at yahoo.ca Fri Oct 5 19:21:51 2007 From: paul_nijjar at yahoo.ca (Paul Nijjar) Date: Fri, 5 Oct 2007 19:21:51 -0400 (EDT) Subject: [fvc-wat-announce] Home stretch Message-ID: <951233.24346.qm@web57612.mail.re1.yahoo.com> I hope you are having a good Thanksgiving. Feel free to bring up MMP along with the turkey. For those interested in canvassing: Josh Smyth is planning to lead a canvassing/literature-dropping caravan on Saturday. The caravan will meet at 2pm at Kitchener City Hall (after the "Free Burma" rally at noon). To get involved contact Josh: smyth.josh at gmail.com or 519.496.0541 . There will likely be more literature drops happening as well, through to Monday. You can also feel free to canvas your own neighbourhood, but contact Josh to make sure it has not been covered already. Josh can also tell you where to pick up literature if you need it. Information sessions and all-candidates meetings seem to be done, but if you want to schedule a last minute talk please contact me and we can see whether we can arrange something before the blackout period. We will be at the St. Jacob's Weekend Market again this weekend, so you can check out the booth there. The provincial campaign can still take your donations to purchase last minute advertising. See: http://voteformmp.ca/en/donate for information. Other than that: get registered to vote in the referendum, keep writing those letters to the editor, and keep talking about MMP. Too many people are still in the dark about how the new system works, and a few words of explanation can make all the difference. We need every vote we can get to demonstrate that the voters of Ontario demand change. - Paul -- Paul Nijjar http://www.fairvotecanada.org/WaterlooRegion Vote for MMP! http://voteformmp.ca (Please use this Yahoo! account for future correspondence.)

My apologies for sending yet another one to you, but some last minute things have come up. Leafletting ----------- We have a lot of leaflets to distribute, which we will be doing all day Monday. We will not be canvassing (i.e. knocking door to door) but we will be stuffing mailboxes, which is less intimidating. If you can help with this you can meet at 57 Laurel Street (near Bridgeport and Moore in Waterloo) at 11am. If you can't make it at that time contact Josh: smyth.josh at gmail.com or 519.496.0541 and he will give you instructions. Referendum Party ---------------- On October 10 at 9pm you are invited to the post-referendum party to watch the results roll in. There is one party happening at Waterloo at the Duke of Wellington pub (33 Erb Street West) and another in Cambridge (I think at Donna Reid's house -- donna-reid at sympatico.ca for details.) You are welcome to attend the Waterloo festivities if you are on this list (or even if you are not). Sign Clean-up ------------- As far as I know, lawn signs need to be removed within 24 hours after the election. If you have a lawn sign could you please remove it by 8pm Thursday. We could also use some help removing the bigger signs we set up -- contact me for details. Have a good thanksgiving and let's hope for 60%. Thank you for participating in the referendum effort. - Paul -- Paul Nijjar http://www.fairvotecanada.org/WaterlooRegion Vote for MMP! http://voteformmp.ca (Please use this Yahoo! account for future correspondence.)
