<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Fair Vote Canada Waterloo
supporters!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Fair Vote Canada is moving in a new strategy
direction as we look to 2015 as a real and exciting possibility of
achieving proportional representation in Canada. One aspect of this strategy
will be to develop strategic partnerships with allies who can help us get the
message out there in language that connects with people - to let people
concerned about so many issues right know that electoral reform is the
gamechanger. <STRONG>The second strategy focus is going to be on action:
building up our supporters on the ground and doing things in communities across
Canada that make an impact. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks to you, Fair Vote Canada Waterloo has always
been leading the way in this respect, with the multitude of successful events,
fairs, speaking engagements etc. We will still be doing all of these things, but
we will also be taking action as part of a growing, coordinated effort. Fair
Vote Canada is </FONT><FONT size=2 face=Arial>going to put out a call to action
to all it's supporters about once a month. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Our first action is going to start on<FONT
color=#ff0000><STRONG> Canada Day</STRONG></FONT> and<STRONG> I need your
help</STRONG>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Something like this will be going out in a national
mailout in a few days - please take a look.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have created a <A
href="http://s.fairvote.ca/files/FVCPetitiontoHouseofCommons.pdf">petition</A>
calling for proportional representation - the type of paper
petition, specific to each riding in Canada, that can be
presented in the House of Commons. To ask an MP to present the petition, we need
at least 25 signatures from constituents in a riding. I know we can do better
than that in Kitchener-Waterloo and Kitchener-Centre! <FONT size=2
face=Arial>Our big goal is to have petitions from <STRONG>all 308
ridings</STRONG> to present to local MPs in a visible way, asking them
to present them in the House. </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We can start collecting signatures now, but we are
putting out a big call to all our supporters to <STRONG>collect signatures on
Canada Day and up to July 5. </STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial><FONT color=#ff0000>Can you help Fair Vote
Canada succeeed by collecting signatures? It's easy. </FONT> Here's
what to do:</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1) Print off the <A
href="http://s.fairvote.ca/files/FVCPetitiontoHouseofCommons.pdf">petition</A>.
(You may want to print off three - for people who live in Kitchener Centre,
Kitchener-Waterloo and Kitchener Conestoga). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2) Ask your friends, family, neighbours, people you
know or meet, to sign. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>3) On July 5, mail the petition to FVC, or
<EM><STRONG>email me and I will come pick it up from you</STRONG></EM>. I don't
care if there are 5 or 5 signatures on it - every signature helps. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>If you can take some photos of people signing for
our Action page, great - photos of people coast to coast is
very inspiring :)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We will be keeping track of every riding where
someone signs up, putting a larger counter on the national site, and the
number of signatures collected. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Please let me know if you can participate by either
emailing me - <A href="mailto:lanickerson@b2b2c.ca">lanickerson@b2b2c.ca</A> -
or by signing up on the <A href="http://www.fairvote.ca/action/canadaday">Canada
Day Action</A> page. </FONT></DIV>
