Exclamation Re: List of all MP's written & emailed.

PLEASE DO NOT DELETE THIS POST.
THIS INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT.

If you are going to Email your MP Please be aware that this the Houses of Parliament website will severely restrict the amount of information that can send.
http://www.parliament.uk/alms

you will be restricted to 4000 chars in your message. This includes your full personal details, ie: Name, Full address, Email, Telephone number and Email verification.
When I used this to contact my MP Mrs Joan Humble, Blackpool North. my message was reduced to just over 3000 chars. I was forced to edit (butcher) the template leter from this thread so much that it became a nonsense, I lost the full Human rights section, much of the pre-amble etc. They include spaces, Paragraphs (even double or triple line gaps in address etc.

Therefore please, I cannot stress enough, DO NOT USE THIS LINK. Instead us the link on this thread as there are no restrictions to the length of the text that you send, and therefore you can edit the template letter to suit your own circumstances. I have include the link below to help.

WriteToThem.com - Email or fax your Councillor, MP, MEP, MSP or Welsh, NI, London Assembly Member for free


Finaly do not delay, post today.

Keep up the good work, regards, Stonedecroze

Default Re: List of all MP's written & emailed.

Macboy,

I work for an MP and would like to advise that anyone who emails an MP must make sure they include their full address as MP's need to know if the sender of an email is their constituent. As they are not allowed to act for another MP's constituent.

If you do not include your full address you will need to be recontacted for your address which will delay matters.

MP's will correspond via email which is quicker for both parties.

MP's do, and are taking this up as a matter of concern and I am asking my MP to raise it as a question in the House as companies and organisations don't like being identified in parliament.

I am claiming bank charges myself and I am keeping my MP updated on the process and problems being faced by customers.

Your letter is good but I would advise that people sending emails do so directly to their MP and not via a third party site. Details of how to contact all MP's are available on the Houses of Parliament website see link below.

UK Parliament - alcm

Regards
jdaraf

Default Re: List of all MP's written & emailed.

The FSA will not be in session with the Treasury Select Committee on
20 September as I had thought (I read it in The Independent - what a crap paper)

But they will be up against them in early October (see below). Unfortunately this will be after the waiver review on 27 September but assuming it won't get revoked it's still worth targeting MP's.
waiver will not be revoked




Dear crfx,

The Treasury Committee will take evidence from the Bank of England on the August Inflation report on September 20. Inflation report hearings are a regular part of the Committee's programme - transcripts of past sessions can be found on our website. The FSA will not be represented at this session.

The Committee takes evidence on the FSA's annual report and accounts once a year - usually in the Autumn. The date for this year's session has not yet been confirmed - but we expect that it will take place in early October.

Best wishes

Ok, as I have stated all posts that have been removed have been stored HERE and not deleted.
There are 564 posts stored there, if all these posts were still on this thread it would be over 23 pages long. This would make this thread difficult if not impossible to control.
I understand your concerns regarding responses from MP's, I have disscused a possible solution with Macboy. We are open to suggestions, please feel free to impart your ideas. Thank you.

OK Everyone - I Think We Now Have A Solution!

There have been competing pressures between allowing ja-de and myself to accurately record details of the representatives you've been writing to; and your eagerness (quite rightly so) to post your responses and discuss them.

This led to a dilemma. We asked the long-suffering and helpful Lively Lad (take a bow, LL!) to help keep the thread clear and restricted to messages telling us who you'd written to so that we could record these, collect statistics and name names. But this had the unfortunate effect of frustrating some posters, who felt we were deleting and ignoring their responses; which we weren't. In fact they were being held in storage, but you weren't necessarily to know that.

So we have decided to create a second thread, purely for replies and discussion about the campaign, which will not be cut down and will be allowed to run its course. However you will see (as we have restored all your old posts to visibility), just how difficult this would have made it for us to keep track of what was happening. On its own (and depending on the prefs you've set to view the site), it is some 23 pages long with hundreds of posts.

So in summary, please:

1.USE THIS THREAD TO TELL US WHO YOU'VE WRITTEN TO ONLY

2. POST YOUR RESPONSES AND DISCUSS HERE, IN THE 'MPs CAMPAIGN - RESPONSES' THREAD


For ease of use, we suggest re-typing your letters rather than scanning them, but if you prefer to scan, you will need to know how to host the image in your post and have the webspace available in which to host it (or an account with a site such as Photobucket, Flickr, etc.). PM me if you have any questions about this and I'll be happy to try and assist.

Hope this clarifies things and we can move forward with our campaign, which has now hit the '100 MPs contacted' mark - WOO HOO!!!

Have a great weekend and thanks for bearing with us

Best
Mac
