PRISM: Write to your MP
8th June 2013 19:25 by BlogEditor
If like us, you oppose mass surveillance, we would encourage you to write to your MP to make your position clear and ask them to act.
The letter below is an outline that you should customise so that it reflects what you believe. You can find out who your MP is here and if you do send your letter or an email, please let us know by dropping us a quick email to campaigns@pirateparty.org.uk.
Please remember that MPs receive a lot of mail so keep it succinct. To get a result, be polite. Don't be afraid to make a follow up phone call, you will almost certainly get to speak to one of their staff- but every little piece of pressure will help.

Theresa May signaling the intention to bring in legislation to allow law enforcement agencies to check email, web, social media and gaming forum traffic unleashed a wave of protest. It also unleashed contradiction in the government parties. The Conservatives were quick to exploit the "being tough on crime" angle in the Sun. LibDem president Tim Farron was fielded to promise to shoot down the proposals Nick Clegg was set up to defend just a few short days before.
