I bought the hat. Trudeau has a special message to thank me for keeping the
party strong. See below.

Now I'll see about my friend doing the sewing.

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