In the interests of peace, a Motion has just been
tabled in Parliament, which calls the
United States Government to account for breaching the
Geneva Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention.
Last week, Austin Mitchell, MP for Great Grimsby,
tabled Early Day Motion number 300 in the House of
Commons. This is an in-House Resolution which invites
the signatures of MPs during the next twelve months.
If one hundred of them sign, the subject can become a
significant mainstream news story. The key to the
Resolution is in its last two lines, which are a
challenge to Tony Blair and, ultimately, to the Bush
Administration. During its first three days in
circulation, EDM 300 was signed by 14 MPs. Their names
and its text may be seen by clicking on:

Please consider writing to your MP and forwarding this
e-mail to everyone who you think may do likewise.
Given the speed of e-mail and with the possibility of
such help multiplying, tens of thousands of people in
Britain could already be asking their MPs the same
question when our Parliament re-convenes on 5 January.
Simply put, the question is: Please will you
sign Austin Mitchell’s Early Day Motion number 300,
entitled ‘Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention and
Iraq’, tabled on 16 December 2003?

Posted letters addressed to MPs at The House of
Commons, London SW1A 0AA are most effective and should
elicit a written reply. Alternatively, you may send a
fax via: http://www.faxyourmp.com/ or most MPs may be
e-mailed via:
http://www.parliament.uk/directories/hciolists/alms.cfm
If your MP signs EDM 300, please write and thank them
and ask that they canvass the support of other MPs.
If you would like further background to EDM 300, an
article is on the Web site of Paul Flynn MP at:

Thank you. Peace on earth and goodwill to you and your
family.
