Conservative MP visits - just to give you encouragement

Vivian All Messages By This Member #162 Hi everybody, Anita Nickerson is looking for people to visit their Conservative MP. It's to ask them to vote in favour of a citizens' assembly on electoral reform. If you have a Conservative MP, please . If not, please pass this on to your friends who live in Conservative ridings. Thanks!

I don't have permission to share who the MP is or detailed notes on this one, so please don't quote this anywhere, but today someone?met with a Conservative MP (who is not Ben Lobb) and reports: Re the motion to implement a citizens’ committee on electoral reform, he was aware of it and he’ll support that.?Digging a bit deeper, I found that he was quite willing to discuss PR and is well aware of its merits and said he wasn’t alone among his Conservative colleagues. He’s also mentioned that minority governments are often our best. He’s also not totally intimidated by party politics and has voted against his party on a number of issues.? Now this MP had expressed support at a visit a couple of years ago, so it's not entirely new. But having an MP say they'll support this specific motion that is coming to a vote (obviously knowing the party might not)?is something else.? So this is today's email?to say to you: It's not impossible to win this vote. WE CAN DO IT!! We won't get to the approx 110 votes we need, though, if we don't have people willing to make an appointment with their MP.? I'm deeply grateful for those who are leading visits. BUT - there?are many Conservative ridings where we still need a leader to step up and I am not going to find them on the Fair Vote Canada mailing list. If you have a friend or family member in a Conservative riding who might be willing to do it, please ask them. Send them my way or just ask them to . Right now is when they can really?make a difference. We will walk them through what to do and support them as much as we can. People have commented that the Real gave on visiting your Conservative MP was very helpful. The same goes for Liberal held ridings, obviously! Many places we don't have volunteers where your?personal connections could help. We'll probably start "Visit your Liberal MP" sign up soon. I'm just waiting for?Julie Dzerowicz,?who has agreed to second the new motion,?to show up on the page first,?and perhaps one other Lib, then I'll get going on Lib MP visits.? Thanks, all of you!?
