Email List of MPs - Copy and Paste to SEND!

**rok-the-boat** · 18th October 2009, 19:48

This email list is buried in another thread - I think it needs its own TITLE to attract attention.

You should be able to copy and paste this lot straight to your email send address space:

Nice one

**sammcj** · 18th October 2009, 20:14

Any chance you could post what you wrote?
While trying to keep each email original it's nice to keep on the same track.

Time for bed - just moving this thread back up to the top - EMAIL the bods in Wellington if you haven't already.

I have sent my letter and will keep harassing my local MP as long as possible. Will try to join the Bikeoi but that depends on my exams. the later date will be better for me. perhaps some submissions as suggested on another thread asap would also help.

Here ya are! Sent:

"Dear MP,

As I understand it is your duty as a member of Parliament to represent the interests of those in your area and voice them to parliament - as such I am writing to urge you to make clear my voice, and the voice of those around me. The proposed ACC Levy increase will be crippling to all motorcyclists and scooters. You and I bothe know this; even if you're vehicle of choice may not be a motorbike, it is your position that makes it imperative for you to implore parliament to challenge these idea's. You will find vast amounts of other options. As for my opinion, I do not think any one minority of road users should be singled out; if road accidents (all vehicles) are causing such a cost at ACC, then how about a general % increase across the board - firstly to minimize the uproar from bikers about being singled out; and secondly what will be small increase to each individual road user, will become a vast increase when totalled.

I do hope that you take the issue at hand very seriously, and look forward to your support.

Regards,

Simon Vollmer"

Make sure you include your name and address !!! Not here, but when you send it.

**KrazyGixxerBoy** · 20th October 2009, 07:28

I have sent my email. We need as many people as possible to do likewise.

**davereid** · 20th October 2009, 07:48

My letter - feel free to copy if you think it has any validity:

ACC are attempting to use their compulsory, monopoly position to socially engineer motorcycles off the roads.

They are using the "Fairness" card as a justification for tax increases that will end the small commuter style moped or scooter, yet this is exactly the sort of low environmental impact transport our clogged roads require.

But if "fairness" is the driver of these changes, perhaps some other "fairness" facts should be considered.

Why is it fair for drivers with excellent driving history to pay the same as poor drivers ?

Why is it fair for low mileage drivers to pay the same as high mileage ones ?

Why is it fair for cyclists (who cost as much as motorcyclists) to pay no ACC, or the most dangerous form of transport, walking to be free ?

All road users should pay the same, regardless of the cause, or result of accidents.

Yours etc blah blah
