11th
December 2012
The Joint Committee on the draft
Communications Data Bill is due to report in a few weeks,
after which the Government will consider what it should do
in light of the widespread criticism the bill has received.
Many MPs have written to constituents
telling them that they will be making up their mind on
whether to support the proposals to record every email we
send, website we visit and all our social media messages
only after the Joint Committee has published it's report.
We cannot afford to leave MPs in any
doubt about this Bill - and for that we need your help.
We are calling on all our supporters to
request meetings with their MPs on the 11th December 2012.
In conjunction with other campaign groups, we intend to make
sure that every MP is in no doubt that the draft
Communications Data Bill is not fit for purpose. We hope to
have hundreds of supporters in Parliament meeting their MPs
and highlighting the findings of the Joint Committee's
report.
If you're unable to meet your MP on the
11th, you can ask for Big Brother Watch to meet the MP on
your behalf.
The most important thing is to contact
your MP now asking for a meeting.
