Say No To The Supplermants Ban

We all need to make sure that your MPs E-MAIL BOXES ARE FULL ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. We need to put as much pressure as possible on MPs to vote with us on Tuesday. TO MAKE THIS EASY FOR YOU... THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO: 1. Send an e-mail to your own MP at Westminster over the weekend before Tuesday lunchtime urging them to back Motion 414 and to oppose the Directive. 2. If you're not sure of your local MP's name, visit http://www.locata.co.uk/commons and type in your postcode. It will then direct you to your MP's name, allowing you to e-mail them straight away. 3. Don't forget to e-mail John Reid, the Health Secretary and the Junior Minister involved, Melanie Johnson at: johnsonm@parliament.uk 4. You can use your own words, but the main point to stress is how important this is to you, your customers and your business, and that they must 'vote against the Directive and instruct the Government to go back to Brussels and renegotiate its provisions.' 5. By all means be passionate, but keep your e-mail polite. This is the last chance that we have to save many of the vitamins and minerals that will be banned. Eddy Tanner on behalf of maximuscle.co.uk. thank you for your time.

Unless of course you are talking about bodybuilders who use steroids. We don't really go for that around here. -------------- Anni ******* Laissez les bon temps roulez!

Correct me if I'm wrong though. -------------- Cheers, Toad ------------------------------- Do what you have always done, Get what you have always gotten! --Some website somewhere
