>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Electoral reform is  busy tonight.  Just want to let

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

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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,

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> today's paper.  We are expecting another letter to the editor in response

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 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,
