> Dear All,
>
> I've already written to my MP about this issue.
>
> Of course, you have to be seriously deluded to believe that will change
> anything. Every time I've written to my MP I've got platitudes and bullshit
> in return. That's because you don't have any serious money to contribute to
> their campaign.
>
> Democracy: the choice between *n *equally shitty plutocratic parties.
>
> What we need is someone with a lot of money (i.e. telcos) to do something
> about this. May I suggest writing to the Managing Directors of major ISPs
> and pledging to donate to a legal fund to take this on?
>
> Our politicians can be bought, we just have to come up with a better bribe
> than our competitors. Collectively, we can do it, just like we fixed the
> Christmas number one. We just need to exert our effort in the correct
> direction.
>
> MPs are not the right direction. Corporations are.
>
> Kind Regards,
>

>> The Open Rights Group wants to help you get your voice heard: by helping
>> you to talk to your MP. Booking an appointment with your MP and saying
>> what you think is easier than you might think.
>>
>> At this event you will:
>>
>>    * Gain the confidence to talk and write to your MP
>>    * Rehearse talking to your MP one on one
>>    * Find out what MPs will ask you
>>    * Learn how to write to your MP and get a response
>>    * Meet other people campaigning against disconnection without trial
>> in the Digital Economy Bill
>>
>> Talking to your MP is the most effective way to make sure Parliament
>> knows how unpopular and bad disconnection without trial really would be.
>>
>> In these short sessions, you can try out talking to your MP or watch
>> someone else having a go, and learn how to get your points across in a
>> way that an MP will understand.
>>
>> To book, please use these form:

>> See you there!

>> Tim
>>
>> P.S. Obviously, if you support the Digital Economy Bill and want
>> families to be cut off without trial, you needn't attend. No bad
>> feelings! :)
