[fvc-wat-disc] New T-shirts need a snappy message

[Sharon Sommerville]

Hello Everyone,

Below are the 14 suggestions so far, in the order in which they were
received:

"Your vote should count"

"40% votes
60% seats
100% power"

True democracy should be

fair representation for all.


 "Want PR - don't trust a Liberal"


Democracy is Representation - Fair Representation - Proportional
Representation

Democracy: Fair, Proportional.

Demand Representation: Fair‎ & Proportional.

We want Representation: Fair‎ & Proportional.

Vote to make your Vote Count

vote for a candidate who supports PR in 2019

Proportional is best for all voters.

Vote much?
fairvote.ca

Proportional Representation: No Taxation Without Representation

"No Taxation without Proportional Representation" *   - the original
suggestion didn't have the "out" in "without".

39=54=100?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


We need a way to consider these excellent suggestions. We could use a
ranked ballot? :)  Send in your top 4,  we will compile them and look for a
majority! :)

Other suggestions on the selection process are welcome.  The one above is
just a place to start.

Also, revisions to any message are also welcome.  One thing to bear in mind
is that becuase we have to order by Tuesday, we need to make our decision
by Monday night.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions and comments, all well taken!
Hope to hear from you soon!

Kind regards,
Sharon
