Contact Your MP
Take action of your own by contacting the following politicians and newspapers to let them know how you feel. Perhaps you won't get to talk to Julia, Tony or Bob, and your letter may not be published in the newspaper, but politicians and editors do take note when they are contacted. They know that for every person who phones, or writes, there are 200 others who feel the same way - but do nothing. So make a phone call, or write a letter, for the 200 people who feel like you. It does have an impact! Collectively the messages do bring about change. Following are details of how to contact politicians and newspapers ...
