[fvc-wat-disc] My letter to Editor is in today's Record p. A8

[Laurel L. Russwurm]

Dear Edward:

All the Mainstream Media is opposed to Proportional Representation 
because it profits from the Status Quo.  In spite of this, Waterloo 
Region has been getting an exceptional amount of coverage of PR.

CTV actually covered the Green Party Electoral Reform Consultation, the 
Waterloo Region February 11th Liberal Betrayal Rally *and* the Reminding 
Liberals protest the other night.

The record has not only been publishing letters but more than one 
positive article as well as OpEds.

I'm inclined to believe it is more important for PR letters to be 
published in the printed paper, because people who don't get their news 
online have had less much exposure to PR precisely because the MSM has 
been suppressing it.

Any letters that are printed in physical newspapers but not online can 
still appear online, posted on the FVC WRC website.

Regards,
Laurel
