Sending emails about the Iraq war to members of the cabinet and shadow cabinet

The inportant thing is that you tell your recipient in clear terms what your views on the Iraq conflict are: There is no reason why you shouldn't paste all the addresses of the shadow cabinet into one email and all of the addresses of the Cabinet who have emails into another. Unfortunately not all of the Cabinet have email addresses and you may prefer anyway to write a brief mail note, in which case you simply address your note to the person concerned, Parliament House, Canberra. The addressses of some cabinet members who do not have email are shown below the blocks of email addresses. Here are some two line messages tht you may consider sending, but send what you think, don't simply parrot these lines.

eg I am firmly opposed to any involvement by Australians in an attack on Iraq.

eg I urge you to stop playing the politics of fear and concentrate on making Australia safe. That will not happen while the government and opposition continue to support the US belligerent attitude to "regime change" in Iraq .

or I firmly oppose any Australian involvement in a pre-emptive strike by the US without security council endorsement.

or I am angry that both political parties are, by their connivance with the current US line, endangering world peace and exposing Australians to increased risk of terrorist attack. etc.

The message does not need to be a long one. But it needs to include your full name and address.
