  6. Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren

    Wir vom neutralen Verein Vimentis führen dieses Jahr von Anfang November bis Ende Dezember unsere alljährliche politische Online-Umfrage der Schweiz durch. Für alle Parteipräsidenten ist das Projekt als wichtiger Pfeiler der direkten Demokratie nicht mehr wegzudenken und sie nutzen unsere Ergebnisse zur Erkennung der Bedürfnisse der Bevölkerung. In der repräsentativen Umfrage sind sämtliche Bürgerinnen und Bürger aufgerufen, den Entscheidungsträger/-innen unseres Landes mitzuteilen, wie sie die Zukunft der Schweiz in vier wichtigen Problembereichen gestalten möchten. Rund 20’000-30’000 Personen nehmen mittlerweile jährlich an unserer Umfrage teil.

    Es würde uns sehr freuen, wenn auch Sie an der Umfrage teilnehmen und Ihre Kolleginnen und Kollegen im Ausland auf unsere Umfrage aufmerksam machen könnten. Damit würden Sie dazu beitragen, dass auch die Auslandschweizer/-innen an dieser bedeutenden Umfrage teilnehmen und die Zukunft der Schweiz aktiv mitgestalten können. Gerade jetzt, mit einem neu gewählten Parlament, ist es umso wichtiger, dass die Meinung der Bevölkerung an die Bundesparlamentarier kommuniziert wird und dabei auch die Meinung der Auslandschweizer/-innen vertreten ist.

    Teilnahme unter http://www.vimentis.ch/umfrage/?ref=z4

    Weitere Informationen zu unserer Umfrage finden Sie auf unserer Homepage http://www.vimentis.ch/umfrage

    Mit besten Grüssen
