<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Fair Vote Canada Waterloo supporters!
Please do participate if you'd like. We are one of the most active groups in
Canada in our community, and it would be great to have a question from
K-W!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi everyone. The elections for Fair Vote Canada's
national council are coming up. There are 5 positions opening up - that's
1/3 of the national council - and 11 candidates in the running. </FONT><FONT
size=2 face=Arial>These positions are for three years.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I would argue that the next three years are
a<STRONG> crucial time</STRONG> in the history of our movement. The work we have
been doing for a decade, combined with the current state of our politics, has
cumulated in something like a chemical reaction where a large number of
people in the public now see electoral reform as imperative to getting us out of
this mess and making democracy work for Canadians.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Due to the way we traditionally ask candidates
to present themselves, most of the statements of candidates read like the cover
letters attached to resumes. We have some great people, but not much idea,
unless we know one of them personally, of their opinions on things that matter
to us, their views on issues of strategy, or what they would actually
try to <STRONG>do </STRONG>differently (or better) if elected, to
move our cause and organization forward to it's goal.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>Let's ask the candidates what we,
personally, want to know! </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>I'm going to take ten questions from you,
and submit them to all the candidates to answer. When the answers come back, I
will post them to these lists. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If I get more than ten questions, and some are
similar, I will try to rephrase a question that adequately covers the theme. (I
don't want to make these people write a book :).</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial><STRONG>You can send your questions for
the candidates to me directly: Anita </STRONG><A
href="mailto:lanickerson@b2b2c.ca"><STRONG>lanickerson@b2b2c.ca</STRONG></A><STRONG>
or reply to this list. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please pass this request on to local chapters lists
or other supporters of PR and FVC you know. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Even if someone can't actually vote for a
councillor because they're not a paid member, they are welcome to
participate anyways - their question likely speaks for a lot Canadians
concerned about getting a vote that counts, and will help us reach out to
potential supporters.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks, Fair Vote Canada supporters, for helping
make sure we elect new leaders who are both active and representative of us, as
we tackle the next three years together!</FONT></DIV>
