WRITE TO YOUR MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT

SITUATION REPORT No 10 (SITREP No 10)
“BUTCHER’S PAPER” RAID (URGENT!! URGENT!!)
SITUATION
1. This is an URGENT request for your involvement.
2. As you know the Prime Minister has called for an urgent meeting of Caucus, plus all the Government’s backbenchers, to attend a meeting next Sunday, 5 February 2012.
3. Apparently they are going to list all their concerns on butcher’s paper.
4. This is a perfect opportunity to ensure that our demands are considered and are listed on their butcher’s paper lists.
MISSION
To ensure that our demands are listed by Caucus and the ALP backbenchers on their “Butcher’s Paper” list.
EXECUTION
General Outline:
· We are after volume, not lengthy, detailed submissions.
· We must get hundreds of emails and, preferably, short, succinct letters to our local ALP politicians, including the ALP Senators, especially to those ALP Members in marginal seats. (For a list of these members go to the website: http://www.aph.gov.au/Senate/senators/homepages/index.asp?sort=party. Click on “Issues”. Click on “Military Superannuation Indexation”. Look at the right column – see the heading “The Politics” and click on “Marginal Seats”.)
· THIS IS URGENT and your involvement is critical.
Tasks:
1. As with OPERATION “LETTER RAID” we encourage everyone to send either an email (or several emails) or a short, pithy letter (but not rude) to their local ALP member and Senator.
2. Those who reside in an electorate not held by an ALP member are encouraged to email, or write to, the Prime Minister.
Draft Letters
· Draft letters are attached but please feel free to do it your way – THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO DO IT!!!
· These letters can be either sent as an email BUT DO NOT SEND THEM AS AN ATTACHMENT as politicians do not open attachments.
· No need to post your letters by registered mail
