Dear John,
Our campaign to get the House of Lords to pass the NHS protection amendment
to the Trade Bill has now reached a critical stage. And here’s the simple
truth, IF WE ARE GOING TO WIN IN THE LORDS, WE WILL NEED YOUR HELP TO PUT
IN A STRONG EFFORT IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS.
Our letter to the leaders of the four main groups in the Lords will be at
the heart of our efforts in the next two weeks. AND WE NEED YOU TO ADD YOUR
NAME TO IT. Our letter to the leaders will call upon them to whip their
benches to vote for the NHS amendment. We need your help to show how many
of us care about this by signing it now.
SIGN THE LETTER [1]
Like in the House of Commons, Lords and Baronesses in the House of Lords
tend to vote along party lines. But members of the House of Lords also tend
to be receptive to evidence and persuasion, and our letter lays out the top
ways this amendment protects your NHS!
Our letter aims to do two things: (i) present the leaders of each of the
groups with arguments for supporting the NHS amendment, which we hope will
persuade them to (ii) whip their benches to back the amendment when it
comes to a vote.
The amendment was debated last week but we need to prepare for the vote in
TWO WEEKS!. This means we have just two weeks to make sure the NHS
amendment passes and the letter is key to getting it done. We need
thousands of people to become signatories to our letter and that is why we
need you to sign the letter and share it with all your networks.
BECOME A SIGNATORY TO THE LETTER [1]
Protecting our NHS has never been more urgent. Regardless of what happens
in the US elections in 26 days, the US healthcare industry and Big pharma
will continue to target our NHS, with the US government's help. Democrats
and Republicans have recieved over $34million each from the US healthcare
industry since 2018. So, whether Donald Trump wins or Joe Biden unseats
him, our NHS remains at risk to trade deals, and we cannot trust Boris
Johnson to stand up for it.
You have all invested a great amount of effort into the fight to protect
our NHS in future trade deals over the last few months. Thank you so much
for all your work. We can win this!
