A letter to David Burrowes
This must be the fourth letter I've sent and I'm still waiting for one reply. Dear David Burrowes, I and thousands of others were watching the live broadcast of thedebate yesterday on the Digital Economy Bill. I noticed you didn't
attend. Maybe these letters are not reaching you? I've made a 'mashup' which shows how it looked to all of us online who
were watching the debate and commenting on how it made us feel as
'digital natives'. http://debillitated.heroku.com So far this has had a lot of people looking at it today - maybe you
could take the time to read some of the feedback on how we all feel
about web blocking and the government monitoring every single
individual's internet connection in order to protect the interests of
large media companies. There is one thing that you can do for me - sign the early day motion
which already has 17 MPs supporting the following: "That this House believes that the Digital Economy Bill [Lords] is too
important to be taken further in the last days of a dying Parliament;
and considers that a bill with so many repercussions for consumers,
civil liberties, freedom of information and access to the internet
should be debated and properly scrutinised at length and in detail,
with a full opportunity for public discussion and representation in a
new Parliament after the general election and not rushed through in
the few days that remain in this Parliament." http://www.edms.org.uk/edms/2009-2010/1223.htm It so far has support from Labour and Conservative MPs. Please - sign it. This is the single issue I and many others will be
voting on in this election. Yours sincerely, Stef Lewandowski
