"Mr Cameron you are making a big mistake with the NHS. Please, Please listen to us" Dr Brigid Sheppard.
It was all happening on Monday, when more than 130 huge bilboards went up in London, with many more to follow in high streets across the country. More than 20,000 38 Degrees members have chipped in over £300,000 to make this happen. Thank you so much. These billboards are going to be seen by millions of voters, and they are already causing a media stir. On Monday morning London GP and 38 Degrees member, Deborah, gave an interview which talked about the campaign on BBC London Radio and LBC 97.3, and there was also a lot of press coverage.
But we are not stopping there. Lots of 38 Degrees members have been in touch with the office this week asking for a poster version of the billboard to put up in their own window. They have pointed out a simple fact: the adverts will be seen by millions, but if we all put them up ourselves too we could reach even more poeple. Can you help sound the alarm even louder and make sure that your neighbours know about the threat to our health service? Click here if you would like a free poster or leaflets to help you to take the campaign to your very own street.
We know that behind closed doors the Government are making political calculations - is it better to change tack or to press on with the plans unchanged? The pressure is building - there will be a big march by NHS staff on Wednesday, and the Lib Dems will bebate an emergancey motion to scrap the plans at their conference this coming weekend. So this is the moment to ramp it up. As our NHS billboards go up in London and around the country, Local MP's and councillors will start to worry about what is brewing in their areas. More and more of them will start asking David Cameron what is he going to do to protect the NHS and reassure their voters.
So imagine how they will react if posters start appearing in windows up and down the country, and 38 degrees members start dropping leflets through their neighbours doors. Take this campaign to the streets where you live - get your free poster and leaflets today. Together, we are making sure that everyone undertands that the NHS staff are hugely opposed to these changes. Its been a long campaign and we have done a huge amount together so far - but the NHS is too precious for us to give in now. Lets keep up the pressure.
Marie Campbell - 38 Degrees
