[no2id-supporters] Protest against ID cards on 28th June

[no2id-supporters-admin at no2id.net]

*** PLEASE FORWARD ***

NO2ID and Liberty will be holding a lobby on Parliament Square on the day of 
the Second Reading of the Identity Cards Bill, next Tuesday 28th June.

Please come along from 11.30am to assemble on the Square for a 12:00 noon 
photo opportunity, which will last about an hour. We shall be providing 
banners* and some other props, but do feel free to make your own anti-ID 
placards and bring them along.

If you can't make it along on the 28th, there is still time to protest this 
Bill - but you have to act quickly:

1) Write to your MP - lobbying toolkit at http://mps.no2id.net/

Simply type in your postcode and you'll be provided with all the information 
and links you need to contact your MP about compulsory registration, the 
National Identity Register and ID cards. Please write NOW, before they vote 
your privacy and freedoms away.

2) Sign our pledge - at http://www.pledgebank.com/refuse

"I will refuse to register for an ID card and will donate £10 to a legal 
defence fund but only if 10,000 other people will also make this same 
pledge."

Over 4,500 people have pledged this under 2 weeks, sending a powerful 
message to the goverment about the strength and depth of opposition to their 
plans. This WILL become Labour's Poll Tax if they force the legislation 
through.

3) Support the campaign - make a donation or become a member

Fighting the government costs money (e.g. the ICM poll that showed support 
for ID cards had fallen to just 55%, or producing and distributing hundreds 
of thousands of pieces of campaign literature) and, despite the generosity 
of those who have donated to or joined the campaign so far, we don't have 
enough.

Please send a cheque, made payable to 'NO2ID', to NO2ID, Box 412, 78 
Marylebone High Street, London W1U 5AP. Anything over £15 qualifies you as a 
member - you can download a form at 
http://www.no2id.net/downloads/membForm.pdf

Hoping to see as many of you as possible on the 28th,

Phil Booth
National Coordinator, NO2ID


*on a first come, first served basis any group representative that brings 
along four other local group members will get to take home their very own 
banner!


If you are in London on the 29th June, why not come along to 'Even Bigger 
Brother' - our public meeting featuring Rt Hon Tony Benn, Dominic Grieve QC 
MP, Lynne Featherstone MP, George Galloway MP and Shami Chakrabarti 
(Liberty) as speakers. Starting at 7pm, at the University of Westminster Old 
Cinema, 309 Regent's Street, London W1B 2UB - more details, including (free) 
registration here: http://www.no2id.net/news/events.php#40
