<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi everyone. We had an amazing meeting last
Thursday at Waterloo Inn. The room was packed with at least 80 people, and the
audience was pretty evenly divided between NDP, Green and Liberal
voters/supporters. The multi-partisan panel was high quality. The
enthusiasm, energy and, most importantly, <EM>hope</EM>, was palpable
in the room.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>In the last week, as a result of the Leadnow
and Avaaz campaign, 9000 ordinary voters joined one of the parties to
advocate one time cooperation. To get them to the point where one says to other,
nationally, locally, or both: Let's talk.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>While the point of the party cooperation campaign
is to bring in a government that can act on common values, and will depend on a
three party commitment to proportional representation, Fair Vote Canada cannot
endorse party cooperation. Fair Vote is a stand alone multi-partisan
organization.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I'm sending out this invitation to all of you who
were not at the meeting, but may be interested in joining Citizens for Cross
Party Cooperation. Our goal is to support and work in conjunction with the
Leadnow.ca/cooperate, which may involve actions directed towards the local or
national levels. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Join here if you are interested:</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I will not be posting anything else about the
cooperation campaign on this Fair Vote announcement list, unless there is a
future event that might be of interest to some Fair Voters.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thank you for your patience.</FONT></DIV>
