This is probably the fastest campaign ever.

A bunch of 10 strangers met for couple of hours, came up with some solid ideas, exchanged few emails and after only a week(!), a simple, single-minded and hopefully effective campaign was born!

Well done to all people involved.

The Canvass Your MP campaign aims to encourage members of the public to engage with their local MPs on the climate change bill issues by going to meet them in person. When they need our vote, MPs are going door-to-door to convince us why they deserve our support. We want to flip this practice and get people to canvass their MPs to convince them to press for a stronger, more effective bill.

There’s nothing like a bit of one on one time to convince someone of your true feelings and many people feel passionately that the it’s time for the politicians to pull their fingers out of their a**e and to start taking positive, effective, cross-party action on Climate Change.

This is a politics neutral campaign. The issues are far more serious and urgent than any petty party-politics and herd-voting. We want to know who is serious about tackling climate change and who is just paying lip service to make him/his party look good.
Canvass Your MP is providing three easy steps for you to take action.

1. If you don’t already know your MP you can find out by entering your postcode into the Find Your MP website.

2. Contact your constituency MP at their surgery. You can use this website to find telephone numbers and surgery times.

3. As soon as you get a response from your MP, saying that they will (or won’t) support the 80% target, let us know by reporting back.

The Canvass Your MP website will show people taking their future into their own hands, proving that the power of the individual is an amazing force. The more people that meet their MPs to discuss their thoughts about the Climate Change Bill the more informed the Government will be and the more likely they will vote for the 80% target.

Thanks ever so much to Jez from Make Hay Ethical E-media for putting the wonderful site together in no time.
