[fvc-wat-disc] Notes from Tuesday's organizing meeting

They say it's the snowflake one on my email. See below. I have to donate
$99 to Team No Change to get the hat. But I get $75 back on taxes so I'll
do it. They better ship it right away. None of that "no rush" stuff for the
hat.

Right on that front grey part I can ask my friend if she can sew "Real
Betrayal?"

How's that?

Maybe we can all take selfies with the thing, too 😂

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Dear Friends,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Electoral reform is  busy tonight.  Just want to let
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> everyone know what we talked about and decide on at last Tuesday nights
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> organizing meeting.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 1) Reviewed our activity since the our first meeting: 2
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> press releases which resulted in an op. ed. piece in the New Hamburg
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Independent and an 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 Dave Arthur.  A footnote,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Luisa had an excellent piece on the federal electoral reform survey in
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> today's paper.  We are expecting another letter 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!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Kind regards,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sharon
