<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi everyone. In addition to all the amazing
activities the Fair Vote Waterloo Region chapter and other local
groups are planning for Democracy Week (schedule coming soon!), Fair
Vote Canada is also having supporters deliver the petitions for PR we
collected on Canada Day to MPs, and inviting supporters around
the country to have Democracy Dinner Parties. If you're not on the national
mailing list, see below...</FONT></DIV>

Week. </FONT></DIV>
