Category: You Can Do This Too

If you care about this and don’t have much spare time, you can still take action;

 

Sign our open letter!

You can become a member and sign the open letter on our front page. Tell all your friends and relations about GetReal and encourage them to think about signing up too! Then follow us on Twitter and get the latest campaign updates anywhere, anytime!

 

If you want to do a bit more

 

1. Call in and see your local MP, they represent you so make sure they know what you think about this issue.

 

Make an appointment to see them for a few minutes. Call the local office to find out when their next visiting hours are. If you can’t make it when they are open, send your MP a short letter and make your points that way. All the MP’s are listed here. Click on your MP’s name for contact details and a link to their website.

 

2. Write your own submission by May 15th. It’s not as hard as it sounds.

 

You can do it online or by mail. Get a copy of the consultation document, have a read of the parts that interest you, and send in your thoughts.

 

You don’t have to answer all the parts or all the questions. Just focus on what is important to you. Say what you think should happen and explain why. Talk it over with a friend or workmate if you are finding it hard to figure out what to do.

 

You can write a submission from one person, a whole family or on behalf of an organisation or group you belong to.
