CELEBRITY APPEAL With the government pushing ahead with its dangerous ID card scheme, NO2ID are looking at all opportunities to increase public awareness. Several nationally-recognised figures have recently expressed their opposition to compulsory ID cards, and the media can regard celebrities as highly newsworthy. Just imagine the headlines if a whole group of them expressed their opposition at the same time... There are four things that you can do to help us: 1. Some of you may be closely acquainted with a nationally-recognised figure - maybe as a relative or a neighbour. If you know them to be on our side, please ask them tactfully to contact NO2ID direct to offer their public support. (Please get them to call Phil Booth on 07974 230 839 or Michael Parker on 07773 376 166, or to e-mail: office@no2id.net). Please note that we respect their privacy as much as we do yours, and are NOT asking you to pass on private information. 2. If you have any cuttings of nationally-recognised figures speaking out against ID cards, please send a copy to the office at: NO2ID, Box 412, 78 Marylebone High Street, London W1U 5AP. They should be clearly marked with the publication name and date. Please include your contact details so we can follow up. 3. Similarly, if you know of any websites reporting a nationally-recognised figure speaking out, please send the URL ('webpage address') to celebs@no2id.net. 4. Otherwise, NO2ID will be contacting some well-known names for their support. If you have any strong evidence as to those who might support us, please don't duplicate effort by contacting them directly, but let us know (on celebs@no2id.net) why they're worth contacting. N.B. We are particularly keen to have more support from figures outside politics. Many thanks for your help, Phil Booth National Coordinator, NO2ID |
