If you are really serious about influencing MPs, I suggest you copy what some other groups do. For example if Friends of Canadian Broadcasting want to influence MPs they send an email which includes: - a letter which one can sign and send to one's MP. The sender can add to the letter if he wants. - a field for one's postcode. This finds the MP's e-mail address if one needs it. - a 'send-button' such as you have at the bottom of this message. Clicking this sends the letter to the appropriate MP. - a field for you to fill in the e-mail address of an intersted friend. This sends a Friends e-mail to your friend. How well this works i don't know, but it does get one person who would otherwise not send a message to send one. Dad Hi Alec, You and I had a conversation about this legislation some time ago when I was staying at your house. If you are really serious about influencing MPs, I suggest you copy what some other groups do. For example if Friends of Canadian Broadcasting want to influence MPs they send an email which includes:

- a letter which one can sign and send to one’s MP. The sender can add to the letter if he wants.
- a field for one’s postcode. This finds the MP’s e-mail address if one needs it.
- a ’send-button’ such as you have at the bottom of this message. Clicking this sends the letter to the appropriate MP.
- a field for you to fill in the e-mail address of an intersted friend. This sends a Friends e-mail to your friend.

How well this works i don’t know, but it does get one person who would otherwise not send a message to send one.
