>>>>> 1) Reviewed our activity since the our first meeting: 2 press releases

>>>>> interview on the CBC's morning show with Craig Norris. One letter to
>>>>> the editor from Dave Arthur and an piece by Luisa D'amato with thanks

>>>>> to the editor in response to an editorial in last week's Record to be
>>>>> published soon.
>>>>>
>>>>> 2) We had a report from the National Green Party meeting in Calgary
>>>>> over last weekend.  They voted to endorse MMP but are open to other
>>>>> PR systems.  Their endorsement of MMP brings them in line with NDP
>>>>> policy.
>>>>>
>>>>> 3)  FVC has a website which supports people looking for help to
>>>>> understand the federal survey.  The FVC website is:
>>>>> mycanadiandemocracy.ca.  Please share our website as widely as
>>>>> possible!
>>>>>
>>>>> 4) Send Christmas Cards to Liberal MPs stating, "All I want for
>>>>> Christmas is Proportional Representation".  The template for the cards was
>>>>> sent Wednesday night to the discussion list.  It is a nice Christmas craft
>>>>> activity for unhappy electoral reformers.  Please send! :)
>>>>>
>>>>> 5) We agreed to participate in Leadnow's national day of action for
>>>>> electoral reform on Tuesday, Dec. 13 at noon.  We will meet at Bardish
>>>>> Chagger's office, 100 Regina Street South, in Waterloo to present her
>>>>> with a copy of the Liberal electoral reform promise.  A smaller delegation
>>>>> will do the presentation while the rest of us sing Carols, hand out
>>>>> tabloids and Christmas cards outside her office.  Fun ideas, colourful
>>>>> signs and placards are encouraged!  If you can take the time over your
>>>>> lunch hour please join us!
>>>>>
>>>>> 6)  Donald Fraser will photoshop the current Liberal fundraising
>>>>> item, a toque that says:  Real Change to read: Real Betrayal.  If anyone
>>>>> has any ideas on how we can create an actual toque that says: Real Betrayal
>>>>> in time for Tuesdays rally, please let us know! :)

>>>>> Our next meeting is Wednesday, January 11th.  Everyone is welcome!
