Hi
Just a quick note from me to repeat Gareth's message and urge everybody to
try to complete and send the postcards that were given out at last week's
meeting which was so well attended. This is one of the most effective ways
that each of us can make a contribution to the Pride in Sheffield campaign.
In addition to the names and addresses that were recently sent out, it might
be a good idea to write to your local MP - the free Internet-based service
'FaxYourMp.com' (http://www.faxyourmp.com) makes it very quick and easy to
send a fax to her or him. Just enter your postcode, type a message and send
it. The site suggests, however, that it is not a useful strategy to target
MP's with 'form' letters.
The Sheffield City Council website - http://www.sheffield.gov.uk/ - has a
list of wards and councillors with their email addresses, so perhaps that's
another avenue to explore...
Emails and faxes can be a very good way of getting a message across but
postcards and letters do make more of an impact. My employers held a Summer
Festival in Leeds which was addressed by the local MP. He advised that
Members of Parliament are almost duty-bound to respond to all hand-written
letters that they receive - so dig out the old Basildon Bond and get
writing!
Cheers
Bill
