Then, I will provide a summary overview of the responses once others are received, too. Yours is the first!Sean D.

It is pretty long but I can copy and paste it if you like, let me know :) Some of it was obviously copied and pasted from other sources (the fonts didn't match) but they took the time to put together a response and provide information to answer the questions.Carrie Newmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09075478950721803877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4611368168520828748.post-34312815543242003452011-08-21T23:49:47.844-06:002011-08-21T23:49:47.844-06:00Awesome, Interior Gal!Awesome, Interior Gal!Sean D.

Good for you in letting your voice be heard!<br /><br />By the way, readers, based upon feedback I've received through other social media . . . these requests have gone out to at least 6 MP's inSean D.

You are absolutely correct, especially for large activist campaigns. However, for the purpose of doing something as opposed to nothing this works fine. Plus we're simply seeking information at this point. Good suggestion though if one has the time, it is better received.Sean D.

When MPs get reams of identical emails it's easy enough to just delete them.
