Sorry to interrupt, but democracy needs your help!

On the 16th of May 2008 the High Court ruled that MPs’ expenses must  
be published under the Freedom of Information Act.

This Thursday, MPs are voting to change the law to keep their expenses  
secret after all, just before publication was due and after spending  
nearly a million of your pounds and seven months compiling the data.

Your MP may not even know about this proposal (it was sneaked out  
under the Heathrow runway announcement). Please take a few minutes to  
alert them to this attack on Parliamentary transparency and ask them  
to vote against the measure.

The outcome of this vote will be prominently displayed on every MP’s  
page until after the next General Election.

What can you do?
·                        Write to your MP to protest. Enter your  
postcode to do so online:
·                        Join this Facebook group.
·                        Blog about it, call a local newspaper (find  
one), text, email, and instant message your friends to let them know  
that about this campaign.

Not many men left with honour amongst our MPs.
