Date 2 August 1999
By tomorrow, (Tuesday) all
MPs and most election candidates will have received for
perusal their own hard-copy of a
comprehensive
pre-election employment contract and
accountability oath containing a full job description,
performance criteria and numerous safeguards for
the
electorate constituents (the employer). [A copy is available
for instant viewing on the M-Pact website -
www.m-pact.org.nz]
The non-partisan M-pact strategy offers
New Zealanders the opportunity to take back control of their
political process, to redesign the rules of
the game, to
vote according to entirely new criteria and demand
responsible, quality service and performance from elected
eMPloyees in the
form of true representative
democracy.
Over 95% of eligible voters approached
enthusiastically embrace the M-Pact strategy in which voters
pledge that they will not vote for, or
consider, any
candidate who has not fully guaranteed their accountability
by signing the M-Pact contract. The contract thus becomes
the
pre-requisite for access to the mass of pledged votes
which will accumulate in electorates around the nation
between now and the election.

Phone 03 546 6871 mornings until 11.30am Monday to Friday
(or leave a message on
answer-phone after
11.30am).
Ends.

NZ House of Representatives
Wellington
Dear Applicant for Reinstatement in the Position of Parliamentary Representative
As you may or may not be aware, the central
issue of concern for citizens in this election is
accountability, without which true
representative
democracy is not possible. It is the issue
on which the outcome of all other issues hinges if those
outcomes are to reflect the will of the people.
New
Zealand citizens are now primed and ready to vote in
accordance with entirely new criteria.
In the event that
you will be putting yourself forward once again in the
coming election, one prerequisite has now become essential
to render an
applicant acceptable for consideration for
the job of people's representative - an absolute guarantee
of accountability and responsibility to
the
constituent.
This guarantee comes in the form of
the enclosed Pre-election Employment Contract and
Accountability Oath. Kindly take the time now to look
it
over as you will, in all likelihood, be contacted by the
media today or tomorrow in relation to your intentions in
this regard.
Yours in faith,
Joe Rifici
Spokesperson for M-Pact Resource and Strategy Centre
