My apologies... On re-reading my original post, I've realised that - with all the cutting and pasting - I got some links in the wrong places.

So, here they are again:

And for anyone who wants to go the extra "mile" and call their MP:

MPs need to hear directly from their constituents today. Please can you call your MP now to make sure he goes into tomorrow's vote fully aware that the eyes of his constituents are on him?

Our best chance of defeating this law is if MPs realise what it would mean if it passes, and that the people they represent are up in arms about it.

Calling today could make a huge difference. If his phone is ringing off the hook, it would show him how worried his constituents are.

All you have to do is:

- Call the Parliament switchboard on 020 7219 3000.
- Ask to speak to your MP's office.
- When you're put through, explain that you're a constituent and that you want to talk about the Transparency of Lobbying, Non-Party Campaigning and Trade Union Administration Bill (it's part 2, the 'Non-Party Campaigning' bit, that would gag charities, local groups and campaigners).

Here are some tips for what to say:

- Don't worry if your MP isn't available to speak - he'll hear about it if his staff spend all day answering calls about the gagging law.

- Say that you're worried about the new restrictions on non-party campaigners.

- You could explain why campaigning shouldn't just be left to politicians and that it's important that independent groups are allowed to play a full role in the political process.

- If you're a supporter of other groups which would be affected by this law, mention them. Any group that speaks up on issues of the day - from the RSPB or Oxfam to The Royal British Legion or the Countryside Alliance - will be affected. So could local organisations in your area.

- If you've been part of big campaigns in the past which wouldn't have been able to happen if this law had been in force at the time, mention them. Anything from Drop the Debt to the Military Covenant campaign could have been hit.

- Remember that this law isn't all bad: we have spent years asking for the lobbying register contained in part 1. But that doesn't make part 2 any better.

That's it!
