We can crowd source a bit of a plan in the comments =]
I'm thinking an email needs to include :
- thank-you to those who voted with Patel yesterday
- expression of concern over Freud's funny business last night
- a mention of the Spartacus Report and encouragement to those who haven't to properly read it before DLA/PIP votes (we will include a link to the report which is here even thought they should all have a copy)
- why DLA reform is bad, the basics (we could use this letter as inspiration)
- any personal stories / messages folk want to add
On this link there is a list of peers which links to an info page which has their email address on it if they have one. We could split them alphabetically, by party etc so that people don't have too many to email each?
Do we do blanket E-mail or send individual e-mails like with Spartacus Report. Do we send 3 different e-mails to those that were content, not content and abstained. Can we argue Lord Freud brought the house into disrepute last night.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest that we send the same email to each, but address them individually, so their name is at the top (does that make sense?). We can split according to content / not content / abstentions, might not be a bad idea - the email wouldn't have to e that different except that some of them get thanked ;)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't go so far as to say disrepute, but I think we can definitely say that we're concerned at him playing political games over such a significant bill.
I'll do some -not sure I'm up to wording a letter thought
ReplyDeleteWill try and get an email template and split the list of peers into tchunks this afternoon or tonight =]
ReplyDeleteI'm very happy to do some e-mailing, though again not up to sorting out wording. Flo: thank you. :-) Presume if I keep an eye on this post and blog, there will be updates with content etc.?
ReplyDeleteHappy to send a load out if required - will keep calling here and do whatever asked to whomever you want.
ReplyDeleteThanks all, wording will be up hopefully by 9 (busy day) but I'll keep you updated =]
ReplyDeleteI will email too we have to keep the pressure on!!
ReplyDeleteVery happy to email because we just can't leave all the work to a handful of people.
ReplyDeleteLets spread the load & help each other :)
