Dear Editor: We just had a direct democracy referendum on the issue of electoral reform.
How much more democractic (the will of the people) can we get. The issuewas decided by the plebians not the aristocracy, not judges, not political parties and not politicians.

I am truly appreciative of all the voters who have contacted me because they are trying to figure out for themselves how they might vote in this important referendum . I voted for Proportional Representation.

Don’t worry!
The Group of Twenty (G20), composed of nineteen countries (including Canada) and the European Union, will meet in Buenos Aires (Argentina) November 30th and December 1st.
