[fvc-wat-disc] [fvc-wat-announce] Happy New Year Fair Vote Supporters

[Shannon Adshade]

Hi Anita, We had Larry come out to Wilfrid Laurier University to do a public talk about 5 months prior to the MMP Referendum and the turn out then was very poor!!  I don't think we would get a good turnout right now!!

Hey, Shannon. Good to hear from you! It was actually Bob - bless his heart!! -
that wrote the message and requested I send it out!

Shannon, what do you think about organizing something like London did, where we
have Larry Gordon come do a public talk? I'm willing to do as much publicity as
I can. I'd just be worried about getting enough people to show up to make it
worth his while.

Anita
