[fvc-wat-announce] Let's Give Minister Gould Numbers From Waterloo Region

[Sharon Sommerville]

Good Morning and Happy Friday FairVoting Friends,

Karina Gould, MP for Burlington recently became the Minister of Democratic
Institutions. We have sent her a congratulatory letter of welcome and are
looking forward to
her approach to building a new electoral system for Canada.

As we know the Liberals are the party of evidence based policy making.  We
would like to make sure that Minister Gould has the numbers on how many
citizens have contacted their MP about electoral reform since the election
and we need your help. We think it is important to make sure the new
minister knows how many people in Waterloo Region care about real change
for our electoral system.

*If you have any kind of contact: sent an email or letter, made a telephone
call, had a chance encounter or met with any Liberal MP in Waterloo Region
and raised electoral reform, could you let us know?  *We would also be
interested in knowing if you tried to book an appointment but were unable
to finalize a meeting.  We are looking for the name of the MP, date (more
or less) and the type of contact ie. telephone conversation, chance
encounter at a summer festival etc..

Our government has been consistently saying that everyday Canadians don't
care about a fair electoral system.  The Liberal caucus will be making its
decision about electoral reform in February so letting Minister Gould know
how many people care about fair representation is important. If you have
contacted your MP in anyway or spoken with any MP about electoral reform we
hope to hear from you soon!

With thanks,
Sharon Sommerville
