Guys,

This is to let you know that I will be signing the E-Petition when its ready. I don't like the Idea of getting bullied like this. We all have to work hard for every penny we earn. I am not going to put up with this extortion. I have written to my M.P. to not support this and would suggest all of you to do the same.

do you guys believe you can garner support of 100,000 people? The e-petition will not be taken up for discussion in the house of commons unless it is signed by 100,000 people (unless they have changed the process lately)

It is indeed a hard target to achieve thats why I keep asking all to write to their MPs and if some one could set up a group on FB and once we know how many have joined the group, we can then ask them to sign the e petition.

Please make sure that you spread the word and sign the petition. Please dont stop writing to your MPs coz we may not get 100k signatories. We can atleast try our best.

Hello Everyone,

I can see we haven't been able to gather much support,can we please forward the same to family and friends as this can gather more votes. I believe this decision not effects 1 single person but the whole family as well who are associated with that person. So please gather more votes before the proposal as its not very far I think the date is April 2012.

this is a little shameful that its been signed by only 147 people so far.

maybe people are happy paying these exorbitant fees.

guys, please sign and forward to all people you know

thanks
