[no2id-supporters] Message from NO2ID National Coordinator - POWER 2010 wants your ideas

[no2id-supporters at no2id.net]

Dear Supporter,

Politicians have clamped down on our freedoms.  They've exploited their
expenses, and even when caught red handed breaking the rules have stayed in
their jobs.  Despite massive breaches and systemic abuse, the government
demands more and more of our personal information - for it to control, not
us.  

We need to take back power from the politicians and put it back where it
belongs: in the hands of all of us.  That's why POWER 2010 has just been
launched.

I'm taking the extraordinary step of writing to you now because NO2ID
supporters have the opportunity to shape this new campaign by submitting
*your* ideas for how we should change the way our country is run.  The most
popular 5 will then become the backbone of a major national campaign leading
up to the next general election.

So how would you like democracy to work for you?  Please take the time to
submit your idea for reform.

Naturally NO2ID would like reforms aimed at rolling back the database state
to feature.  Perhaps you have a solution to departments using phoney
consultation processes to railroad through a pre-determined policy.  Or it
might be limits on the use of statutory instruments, which have allowed the
government to extend the use of ID cards without proper parliamentary
scrutiny.  Perhaps you have a way for us all to maintain ownership of our
personal information.  You decide.

The only requirement is that it should be about improving the way our
democracy works and how the decisions are made that affect our lives.

It's up to you.  Click the link below and submit your own idea:

Thank you and best wishes,

Phil Booth
