[MacBoy]

Ja-de - could you add John Cummings to the front list when u have a moment pls.? He's already in my spreadheet. I think then that we have an exact tally between your list and mine.

Interesting factoid so far - it seems more MEPs have responded than MPs! Make of that what you will

Hi,

 

I have today emailed Malcom Moss, MP - North East Cambridgeshire and Gordon Brown, Prime Minister

[stonedecroze]

I have found that you can contact your MP via Email from both of these links.

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

 

If you use this link you can send the full template letter (edited to you personal Mp in full) but If you use the next link

UK Parliament - alms

 

the official government link to your MP. Your message is limited to 4000 chars. This includes you own contact details, paragraphs spaces etc, when I sent message to my MP Joan Humble Blackpool south I was restricted to less than 3000 chars. This rendered the template letter totaly useless as I was forced to edit so much out of it, the whole human rights issue and much more. So PLEASE use the write to them link.

 

hope this helps. You can still use the other link to find you MP if you do not know them.

I have written to: Angela Smith MP Basildon & Thurrock

[Destinyofsouls]

mmm...

So let's see.

No-one originally seemed to care about this thread ( or should I say the original one) only myself and Jenny. In the absence of any input from the much more experienced members on here, I decided to spend a coulpe of hours typing a template after many hours searching on the watchdogs web sites and doing research and 'feeling' for what people wanted. I put links to the MP's site and to other sites I felt would benefit us.

 

Then- people started to come on to the thread, my letter was edited and people were asked to send that letter, and then do this and that. Finall y, to add insult to injury, I log on this morning and just about all my posts had disappeared and just the 'chosen few' left, who are now obviously the 'leaders' of the thread. So all my work was in vain.

Then I have to ask if I can 'please have my post back where the original letter was'.

Well I'm sorry but I do not want to be part of your little 'click' and you carry on telling the minions what to do. But for me?

I have emailed my local Mp's but some bot wiped my post!!

[MacBoy]

The thread has been tidied up and moved into an area where more people can see it (it was stuck on the Halifax forum before, but the issue of course affects everyone).

 

All MPs names have been recorded from previous posts - if yours is missing from list at the first post of the thread, send a to PM ja-de, livelylad or myself

and we'll fix it for you.

[vinegarvera]

Oh thanks, thought I had been a naughty girl!

[salesman]

I had written a letter to Nick Gibb ages ago, also Gordon Brown, Nick Gibb wrote a lovely response saying he had concerns and had himself written to the Dept of Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform and would get back to me with there answer!!!

[MacBoy]

Thanks for that salesman - any chance you could chase Nick Gibb up for a response please? Meantime I've recorded him on the tracker!

[Dr Hunter]

I have e-mailed Frank Doran MP for Aberdeen.

[ja-de]

I have received a reply from Richard Corbett MEP, basically telling me the same as other MEP's have said, which is - it is not a matter for MEP's to deal with, & that we should contact our local MP's instead - no matter, we shall push ahead with our campaign, & carry on regardless.

[MacBoy]

no matter, we shall push ahead with our campaign, & carry on regardless.

Precisely. This is about raising profile in the political sphere. They all talk to each other and belong to the same parties.

[ICY]

Just had the following response from Brian Simpson

 

Thank you for your email. I note you have written also to my colleague

Arlene McCarthy MEP who is the Labour MEP with responsibility for your area

and she will respond on behalf of the Labour MEPs in due course.

 

BRIAN SIMPSON MEP
