Good evening all, I hope you are all ok.
Thank you everyone for your helpful suggestions and support.
The Next Steps
I have made some slight changes to the document (mostly correcting spelling mistakes and grammar). I will send the edited version to as many MP's as possible and as many Media outlets as possible. I will change the document slightly for the media and I will keep a list of who I have written to. I will also contact shadow MP's and other political parties. I am also thinking of other influential people along the way, so if anyone thinks of anyone else please let me know. I have been reading Non-Fiction Advocate and Making Change books. They advise that Paper Protest receive a better response via snail mail than emails. The books suggest that most people ignore those type of emails. Therefore, I will be sending all the letters by post. Yet, this does mean I won't be able to do this as quickly as I would hope due to money (Stamps and printing etc). However, I will complete this task as quickly as possible.
How you can help?
There is an updated version of the Paper Protest document available via the link tree - https://linktr.ee/clairechronicpain
MP's sometimes only communicate with members of the public from their own constituency. Therefore, I feel we would get a better response if more of us wrote to our own MP's with the paper protest document. Please remember to put your contact details; including your address, email address and phone number on the document before posting the letter. I ask you to put your contact details in the document because the MP's admin team like to check you are from their constituency. If you do not have a printer, edit the document with your details - save it and then attach it to an email. To find your MP's contact details - google your town or city with MP. Such as ' Newark on Trent MP'.
If you do the above - Please let me know as soon as you can. You can do this in the petition comments, the official Facebook group or via my Instagram. All can be found via the link tree - https://linktr.ee/clairechronicpain
