<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Fair Vote Canada Waterloo
supporters!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </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> </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> </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> </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> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We have created a <A
href="http://s.fairvote.ca/files/FVCPetitiontoHouseofCommons.pdf"
moz-do-not-send="true">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> </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></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></STRONG> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>1) Print off the <A
href="http://s.fairvote.ca/files/FVCPetitiontoHouseofCommons.pdf"
moz-do-not-send="true">petition</A>. (You may want to print off three -
for people who live in Kitchener Centre, Kitchener-Waterloo and Kitchener
Conestoga). </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>2) Ask your friends, family, neighbours, people
you know or meet, to sign. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </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> </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> </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> </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"
moz-do-not-send="true">lanickerson@b2b2c.ca</A> - or by signing up on the <A
href="http://www.fairvote.ca/action/canadaday" moz-do-not-send="true">Canada
Day Action</A> page. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Thanks so much,</FONT></DIV>
