Hi Anita,<br>
I forwarded this idea to my personal mail list asking them to get
involved.<br>
I printed up the petition and put it on a clip board and am ready to
start my own today.<br>
Cheers<br>
Matt Foster<br>

<div><font face="Arial" size="2">Hi Fair Vote Canada Waterloo
supporters!</font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">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 face="Arial" size="2">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
face="Arial" size="2">going to put out a call to action to all
it's supporters about once a month. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">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 face="Arial" size="2">We have created a <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
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 face="Arial"
size="2">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 face="Arial" size="2">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 face="Arial" size="2"><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 face="Arial" size="2">1) Print off the <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
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> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">2) Ask your friends, family,
neighbours, people you know or meet, to sign. </font></div>
<div> </div>
<div><font face="Arial" size="2">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 face="Arial" size="2">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 face="Arial" size="2">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 face="Arial" size="2">Please let me know if you can
participate by either emailing me - <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="mailto:lanickerson@b2b2c.ca">lanickerson@b2b2c.ca</a>
- or by signing up on the <a moz-do-not-send="true"
