Save our N.H.S......!!!!!!

Marley Farley · Mar 16, 2011

OK everyone, I know I asked for your help to save our Forests...... Which you did.. Thank you all for that..

:WINK1: Now I am going to ask for your help again for something close to my heart & I really do think affects pretty much all of us..!
The N.H.S...
It seems to be suffering so much & if we are to keep this wonderful service we need to start trying now...
I hope you will all rally round & sign this petition too & get as may people as we can to sign it so pass the word on to all you know..

Thanks Marley..

Dear Marley

The Save the NHS petition is growing fast. Over 110,000 of us have signed in less than a week. That makes it the fastest growing 38 Degrees petition ever!

We know that the government’s plans for the NHS are a serious threat
- that’s why so many of us have joined in. Local health services would
be broken up and private companies brought in. [1] Andrew Lansley, the
health minister, wants to rush the plans through. But if we work together, we can stop him.

On Friday, 38 Degrees members will start visiting key MPs at their local constituency surgeries. These are politicians with the power to challenge the plans now, because they’re on the Health Bill Committee. [2] We want to hand them the biggest petition they've ever seen.

Please
can you forward this email to your friends and ask them to sign the
Save the NHS petition? They can sign by clicking here:

Yesterday, the main group representing doctors, the British Medical Association, said the plans were "dangerous" and called on the government to withdraw them. [4] Last weekend even Lib Dem party members voted to tell Nick Clegg that the government's plans are "damaging and unjustified". [5]

So it's not hard to see why so many of us have signed the Save the
NHS petition. Sooner or later, we all rely on our NHS. It's not perfect,
but it is worth protecting. Doctors, health experts and charities all
say our NHS is in grave danger. [3] That's why 38 Degrees members voted to do all we can to protect it.

Please forward this email and ask your friends to help us reach 200,000 signatures:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/NHS-petition

We know a big response from 38 Degrees members can help stop these plans.
On Monday, the Independent newspaper said, ?"The campaign group 38
Degrees – which was instrumental in forcing the Government to drop its
plans to sell off parts of Britain's forests – collected more than
80,000 signatures against the plans over the weekend." [6] Suddenly, all
the work we did together to save the forests feels like a bit of a warm
up!

When we hand in our petition, we'll also hand in copies of another
one organised by website SaveOurNHS.org. This campaign is a team effort. People power helped build the NHS in the first place.
People power has saved it from threats in the past. So, as 38 Degrees
members get ready to hand in the petition, let's all add our names and
make sure it's huge.

RE: SAVE OUR N.H.S.....!!!!!!

Signed Marley. I said years ago that if a certain party was in power they would change things so that we would all start paying for our hospital health care and it is now coming true

Being a very old newbie I am reluctant to speak out of turn but surely each and everyone of us should be responsible for our own health. Does having an insurance entitle us to abuse our bodies. I do not think so.
Having said that what is it I have to sign. Better be quick about it tho :p

Gogs · Apr 12, 2011

Marley Farley · Apr 12, 2011

It is certainly something we need & need too keep I agree Gogs.. Thanks..

Hi everyone, well it looks like the campaign is gathering speed.. Would you all like to send your MPs a pre-written email now..?? I just have, it is really easy.. Just click on the link below..

Dear Marley,

Thousands of us have taken part in the poll to decide what we should do next to save the NHS. That's brilliant - it means we've got a really clear plan for how we can step up the pressure.

One big thing we all seem to agree on is this: targeted pressure on each and every MP, from local voters, is crucial. [1]

It looks from your postcode like you have a Liberal Democrat MP. That means your MP could play a key role in saving our NHS. The Liberal Democrats have raised serious concerns about Andrew Lansley's health plans. [2] But they're also in government, and under pressure to toe the government line. [3]

Thousands of 38 Degrees members have already been in touch with their MP to ask them where they stand on Lansley’s plans. But we need to make sure that they're feeling more pressure from us, their voters, than from their government bosses.

Can you email your MP now? Click here to find your MP and send them a quick email using the 38 Degrees web site - it takes just 2 minutes:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/NHS-email-your-mp-libdem

Our pressure has already pushed the government to announce a "pause" in their plans. But without more pressure, there's a risk that this will just be an exercise in spin. The government claims it is taking a "pause" and "listening", but a letter leaked to the Evening Standard shows that health officials have been told to push ahead. What kind of pause is that? [4]

Please email your MP now. Ask for a real rethink of the NHS plans, not just spin:
http://www.38degrees.org.uk/NHS-email-your-mp-libdem

260,000 of us are now involved in this campaign - together we can win. Here are just a few of the reasons so many of us have got involved, taken from the poll:

"Without the NHS I'd be long dead by now!"

"I am so against these changes. I have written letters to the local paper, written to my MP and more. I am a retired GP"

"What I don't want when I see my GP is to see an accountant, who says 'couldn't you have a cheaper disease?' "

"Just keep up the pressure. I'm waiting for heart surgery so can only cheer you on from the sidelines."

"My wife works as a Nurse in the NHS and even though the Government are saying they are pressing the pause button at a local level changes seem to be continuing to roll on."

"It seems strange that I have wait 7 days to see my doctor but is he going to find the time to manage the NHS as well?"

Please send your MP a quick email here:

Thanks for being involved,

Johnny, David, Hannah and 38 Degrees team
