We have included a sample letter to the MP for your convenience. Feel free to modify it so it suits your personal situation. However, if you must expand, keep it under a page and a half. Your local chapter may also have a revised version of this letter which they will send to you shortly. Feel free to sent both letters to your MP.

Contact your MP even if they are from a party you didn't personally vote for, but keep your communication civil.
Follow Up with Your Member of Parliament
