REFORMING THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM is the goal of a new North Carolina
activist group.

"Got the two-party blues? Want a wider range of candidates and parties
to choose from? You may be in luck.

A new non-profit organization has been formed to promote the idea of
multi-party proportional representation (PR) in the U.S.: Citizens for
Proportional Representation (CPR!) . . .  the British/American
'winner-takes-all' electoral system limits the range of voter choice
by creating a two-party political duopoly.  The only votes that count
in such elections are those going to the winner, even if the losing
candidate garners 49.9% of the vote. . . [with PR] few votes are
'discarded'.  Parties receive legislative seats in proportion to their
vote percentage, creating a freer marketplace of ideas and parties.
America would not tolerate having only two kinds of cars to choose
from.  Why should we be restricted to just two major political
parties?"

A state chapter of CPR! is starting. For information contact:

	Citizens for Proportional Representation
