October 25, 2008 –Dear Friend,
>
> Just a quick note to again thank you for your support and update you on
> the Gurkha Justice Campaign – www.gurkhajustice.org.uk
>
> With over 80,000 signatures and rising, we are still getting thousands of
> new supporters every day. We’re still working to get the message out about
> the campaign – last week Al Murray gave us a tremendous boost on his show
> Al Murray’s Happy Hour.
>
> If you haven’t already done so, PLEASE pass on our need for signatures to
> everyone you know and ask them to do likewise. Please send it to your
> address book. We really need this campaign to spread all across the
> country – like wild-fire.
>
> This week I’m pleased to say there will be adverts in the next few days in
> a number of newspapers including the Daily Mail, Guardian and Telegraph
> promoting the campaign.
>
> We’ve had some great stories from supporters across the country, from
> people collecting signatures at car boot sales and street stalls, to
> people putting links on their web sites and telling all their friends – it
> is making a big difference. Thank you so much to all those who have
> written and emailed – there are so many we simply can’t reply to all of
> them personally, so please forgive us. I PROMISE they are being read and
> appreciated.
>
> The huge number of messages of support and offers of help have been
> fantastic, but we still really need more help. If possible, can you can
> help us get the message out in the following ways:
>
> 1. If you have a blog, web site, Facebook page or similar, please put a
> message about www.gurkhajustice.org.uk encouraging people to sign the
> petition. You could also post a message in any discussion forums you use
> online.
>
> 2. Print out the form at
> www.gurkhajustice.org.uk/gurkha_campaign_petition_form.pdf and get friends
> and family to sign. Please make sure you return it to us by 16th November.
>
> 3. Pass the message to as many people as you can. Whether you forward this
> email to your contact list, give people a call, or write a letter to your
> local paper to ask others to sign the petition at
> www.gurkhajustice.org.uk – we really need your help.
>
> A great example of one supporter promoting our site is a video we saw on
> YouTube last week. We found it extremely moving. See what you think at
> http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=MEPvmPdDzYc
>
> Finally, a very special date for your diary – 20th November. There will be
> more details soon, but we will be handing in the Gurkha Justice petition
> to Downing Street on that day. Some special guests and I will be meeting
> in Parliament Square at around 11am. Anyone who can come along to join us
> and show their support for the Gurkhas campaign in person on that day will
> be most welcome.
>
> With warmest good wishes,
