What about sending one sheet of paper with the following info, to all the MPs & senators: the front will enclude: an example of a family group sheet (include reference for census sources) and why in twenty years time, you will not be able to fill it out for your parents, grandparents or great-grandparents' siblings, with further info about the census debate. the back will enclude: 5 generation pedigree chart, so that they might decide to get hook doing their own family history.

I like this idea, too. Ideally, each MP should get a personal visit with this material handed to them at the meeting. It would be the perfect tool to catch their attention and make your point in your likely brief allotted time with your MP. A sample page from the 1906 or 1901 census for his or her riding could be handed over, too, and used to explain how we and conventional historians use the census. These would be good additions to a press kit, too.
