From lanickerson at b2b2c.ca Mon Aug 24 19:41:14 2009 From: lanickerson at b2b2c.ca (lanickerson at b2b2c.ca) Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2009 19:41:14 -0400 Subject: [fvc-wat-announce] Get Involved with Fair Vote This Year Message-ID: <1251157274.4a93251af0ef2@webmail.b2b2c.ca> Hi everyone. My name is Anita Nickerson and I've volunteered to be co-coordinator of FVC Waterloo Regional Chapter with Neil Deitrich this year. As you know, referendums on PR systems have suffered defeats at the provincial level in recent years. Despite this, the need for electoral reform is greater than ever! As a result of the lessons learned in the referendums, FVC is expanding it's mandate in an effort to spread our message and engage more supporters. We don't know when or how our opportunity for electoral reform will come, but when it does, we need to be ready! Educating the public is one of our biggest ongoing tasks and challenges. Another federal election may be on the horizon, which is always a great opportunity to demonstrate the downside of First Past the Post, and to advocate for change! I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has ideas about activities or events for the coming year, or is willing to help. Any participation, big or small, would be valued. We have room to be creative! If you'd like to be involved, and/or have ideas, send me a message. I want to hear from you! Once I see what the response is, I'll post again on the announcements list. Thanks in advance for your help in promoting electoral reform. Sincerely, Anita Delete | Reply | Reply to All | Forward | Redirect | Blacklist | Message Source | Save as | Print Back to INBOX Move | Copy This message to ---- New Folder ---- Dr. Low drafts sent-mail sent-mail-apr-2009 sent-mail-aug-2008 sent-mail-dec-2008 sent-mail-feb-2009 sent-mail-jan-2009 sent-mail-jul-2009 sent-mail-jun-2009 sent-mail-mar-2009 sent-mail-may-2009 sent-mail-nov-2008 sent-mail-oct-2008 sent-mail-sep-2008
