Yes, there is a second round:
#5 - Demand Representation: Fair & Proportional
#7 - Vote To Make Your Vote Count
#13 - Front: What do 92 democracies have that Canada lacks? Back: Proportional Representation
This one was left off the numbered list but got two votes anyway so I'm throwing it in on this round:
#1a - 40% Votes
60% Seats
100 Power
Not Democracy

No, we haven't reached much a conclusion on the message, can't imagine doing this for the design as well.
Could you choose the design, I will compile the results of the vote and get it to you later tonight.
Sizewise, a mix of smalls, med, larges and extra larges? Maybe 4/5 of each? What are you thinking? I'm assuming that people will buy them, what are you thinking? If they are, we could ask $10 for the t's and make a little on them. What to you think?
Cheers,
S.

Oh, this is cool. They do the work for you and you get to choose between a lot of designs. Want me to ask people what design they want?

How about I order these shirts tomorrow. I have no idea if it has a template where I just type in the text and they put it on the shirt in block letters or whether I need to design artwork. If it's the first, no problem. If it's the second, somehow I doubt I'll be able to make something that looks good for say 10 different shirts :). Will check into it later tonight.

It was supposed to be
"No Taxation without Proportional Representation"
Yes, it is supposed to sound vaguely familiar from some history class.

I didn't want to appear dumb but now I have to admit it ... I think the following refers to the objections of the 13 colonies to Mother England ... "No taxation without representation" ... I remember from American history in SS ... but I don't think the average voter would ... catchy but goes over the heads of too many.
"No Taxation with Proportional Representation"

12. 39=54=100?
13. What do 92 democracies have that Canada lacks?
Okay, now that I've done this, I want a ranked ballot because I really like several of them.
My picks: 5, 7, 12, 13

I get the idea of a question to promote discussion ... but we reach far more people who will only read our message and never speak to us ... e.g. when we are shopping, walking, etc. ... they need to get the message without discussion.

I like it too. A variation would be to end it with "lacks", to make it sound like a bad thing.

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?

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

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

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