Letters to the Press

We had a flurry of new members joining when VoteClimate was recommended in a comment under an Observer article, igniting an online discussion. Can you do similar?

If you see an article in the national press where VoteClimate is relevant, please find the article online and post a comment publicising VoteClimate.
Local papers are desperate for content for their websites and they publish many letters received. Please look up the website of your local paper and write them a message mentioning VoteClimate eg how voters can look up their MP's record.
You can often comment under articles and letters on local newspaper websites. Please try to start a debate about VoteClimate.
