Following very constructive advice from the head of policy, the drug policy reform motion is nearly ready for submission. If you are a rep for your local party or can arrange to be a rep before next Wednesday, please let me know if you want to support the motion's submission. You might also like to run the motion past your local party to get them to back it, or lobby an SAO you are active in to gain their backing. For those of you who blog or tweet, any supporting blogposts of tweets can help get the message out there and build support for the motion. The more people seen to be backing the motion, the greater the chance of it being debated at conference. 2010-01-05T14:04+00:00 http://lddpr.org.uk/news/000006/campaign_launched_to_gather_50_voting_reps_to_support_control_and_regulation_motion_for_spring_conference.html The campaign to gather support for motions for Federal and Scottish conferences was launched tonight on Lib Dem ACT http://act.libdems.org.uk/group/liberaldemocratsfordrugpolicyreform?xg_source=activity and the new LDDPR blog http://lddpr.blogspot.com/ Please get in touch if you wish to see these motions discussed at conference and do please spread the word to your friends within the Liberal Democrats who could also add their names as supporting voting reps. The target I'm hoping to reach is 50 voting reps for the Federal conference motion, which should be easily achievable if everyone on the mailing list and in the Lib Dem ACT group gets in contact. So do please get in touch and spread the word. 2009-12-19T21:05+00:00
