[syfaslane365] Trident replacement - emailing / writing to MP etc.

[Bob Banks]

Demo on saturday felt great to me - very big and good energy.
Of course - its not going to change things on its own - but the pressure
does add up ...

Feels a great idea to write a short email / letter to MP, Blair, etc....
at this point
to keep the pressure up. (And ask your friends to do the same!)

(Can be done in just a few minutes ......)


Your MP and their email address can be found at -
www.theyworkforyou.com

Post address is - 
House of Commons,
Westminster,
London SW1A 0AA


Suggestion is to keep it short - better to write something simple than
spend hours writing the perfect argument.

A "template" might be along the lines below - a couple of the points
below - or the many other arguments against trident.

<Your address>
Dear .....
		I am writing to ask you to vote against Trident
replacement in the forthcoming debate. 
		Replacing our weapons of mass destruction sends out a
completely wrong signal to other countries with potential to acquire
nuclear weapons. 
		With the money, we could really help to make the world a
more secure place - for example UK carbon emissions could be reduced to
a level which really addresses global warming. [Or the many other
alternatives ....]
		Building weapons weapons of mass destruction is
completely immoral.
		Etc......
		Please could you let me know your voting intentions?
(Or some other question(s) which make them reply - and / or investigate
an aspect further.)
		Yours sincerely,
		......

Also - 
a short message can be sent to the prime minister at

(No point in writing an essay - but the numbers of messages are added up
and reported on by staff.)


The same / similar letters can be sent to - 
Margaret Beckett - Foreign Secretary and / or the Minister of Defence at
-

Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO)
