<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Fair Vote supporters.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>A reminder also that both Unity Church and
Comeclean.ca are participating in Democracy Week tomorrow (Friday Sept
16) by having tables from 11-2 at Waterloo Town Square (apparently there is
supposed to be an indie music festival there, too - added bonus!). </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Come Clean is a campaign to keep the Green Energy
Act. A petition will be available to sign if you support this
intiative.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Unity is a "new thought" church that believes that
what we focus on, we get more of. To that end, their contribution to Democracy
Week is a contest in which they will be asking people to write something on a
slip of paper stating what they are thankful for about democracy, or how
democracy has blessed them, and put it in a pole. I know this can be a
challenge for some of us who spend our energy working hard to change
some aspects of our democracy, and therefore we spend a lot of our time
discussing things we are concerned about. During the time I was planning for
Democracy Week, Jack Layton passed away. One thing I am thankful for is that
this is a democracy where people with different political affiliations or none
were able to come together, even for a short time, in a public way, to recognize
the contribution Mr. Layton made and the values he stood for that many of us
share. The pole will also be at a faith and art event at Kitchener Market on
Sunday from 11-4. On Sunday night a submission will be selected for a $100 cash
prize, no string attached.</FONT></DIV>
