[fvc-wat-disc] Fw: Invite: Two exciting pro-cooperation events in Waterloo this Sunday - Joyce Murray & James Gordon

[Anita]

Hi everyone.

Great news that Leadnow co-founder and campaigns manager Matthew Carroll will be at our events on Sunday. Great chance to talk to Matthew about their plans for the Cooperate for Canada campaign during the Liberal leadership race, and their many other campaigns (a long term campaign of which electoral reform is a key piece, robocalls, FIPA etc).

                              Dear Anita,

                              Last year, Leadnow launched the Cooperate for Canada campaign,1 calling on the NDP, Liberals and Greens to work together before the next election to stop vote-splitting, defeat the Harper Conservatives, and ensure that our next government better represents the majority of Canadians then passes electoral reform.

                              Last week, we asked 180,000 of our new supporters if they think we should re-launch Cooperate for Canada to push cooperation during the Liberal leadership campaign. The result was an overwhelming "yes", with 95% of respondents in favour.

                              As we gear up for a major campaign to engage Canadians and influence the Liberal leadership race, we invite you to support Cooperate for Canada and participate in the campaign in your community by attending two events this Sunday in Kitchener-Waterloo, hosted by Citizens for Cross Party Cooperation KW.

                              Meet Pro-Cooperation Liberal Leadership Candidate Joyce Murray

                              Anna, Jamie, Anita and Jenn, on behalf of the Leadnow team

                              P.S. We're also sending this to some Leadnow supporters in Guelph and Cambridge, because we don't expect you'll have a chance to meet Joyce Murray in your community, and we hope you'll be interested in the benefit concert and amazing local organizing going on in Kitchener-Waterloo. This is a great opportunity to connect with other like-minded Canadians in the region.
