Hi Sharon
Here’s my list, not necessarily in order and with a couple revisions.
40% votes
60% seats
100% power
Not democracy.
True democracy should be
fair representation for all.
Democracy:
Fair, proportional
We want Representation:
Fair and Proportional

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 Countvote 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

Great ideas everyone! Enjoyed reading all of them!
The sale ends on the 25th, which is the only way we can afford to purchase the Tshirts.
Can we make a decision over the weekend? How do we make a decision, that is the question!
Have a great day,
Sharon

I am brainstorming on the mailing list, which is why you are seeing so many bad ideas from me :-)

HI, All,
I have been keeping up with everyone’s responses about the t-shirt wording and I wonder whether it would be helpful to have a ‘brainstorming’ session to come up with a catchy phrase.
I have found this method quite productive, and we have used it in the past, where we write down everyone’s words, phrases, concepts, ideas, and use the results to focus and formulate a ‘catchy message’.

Hello FairVoting Friends,
We are thinking about ordering new FVC t-shirts and we need a catchy message to put on them. Any ideas?
The message should express our message of fairness and equality for all voters in just a few words. If you have any ideas or suggestions, please let us know!
With thanks,
Sharon
for FVC-WR

No other Western democratic country concentrates as much political power in the hands of one person as Canada does with her Prime Minister.
