Totally agree Rob, people posting to Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter would help too, there are links on the petition page. It's all about getting people talking and the more voices out there the better chance there is of being heard. Just emailed my MP, he's pretty good and sometimes turns up at local community meetings so I'll bend his ear then if I can. Just in case anyone else considering following suit you can find contact details really easily here http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/ the link is on the http://anguline.co.uk/ohrn1.html page too.

Might be worth a chat with our various MPs if the opportunity arises though and I've shared it to Google Plus Family History Community too.

It has given me an idea though. -- Connie http://oursalmons.wordpress.com/ ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to LEICESTERSHIRE-PLUS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message ----- No virus found in this message.
