[cma-l] URGENT! Managers / Leaders in community radio - FREE CASH

[Stevensuttie at aol.com]

Dear Colleagues,
 
Thanks to the innovative and hard graft of Steve Buckley and Karl Hartland, 
 we have all been given an incredible and exclusive opportunity to make a 
case  for greater funding via the 
_http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/allthevoices/_ (http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/allthevoices/)  petition.
 
Unfortunately, after 2 weeks of this petition being live, and countless  
e-mails and messages... theres a lacklustre response - in fact just 650 people 
 have bothered to sign the petition. 
 
This is a national campaign designed to help YOUR radio station, not "a  
save our village post office" petition.
 
I'm pleased to see that at least 50% of our team at Salford have  signed 
up. I'm still pushing it to those that havent.
 
Before we start thinking of how to increase the petition numbers AFTER all  
practitioners, volunteers and first hand beneficiaries have signed up... 
can we  all take 15 minutes to get this sorted and promoted amongst our own 
teams?
 
It really is just a case of e-mailing your volunteers and service  users to 
tell them how important it is that we all sign the petition. Its  not 
difficult at all.
 
Heres the link _http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/allthevoices/_

*The free cash surely comes later...
 
IMPORTANT NOTE
 
If this figure stays so pitiful - it will have an awful  and detrimental 
effect on the whole sector - the total opposite of what it  was designed for.
 
COME ON GUYS... ITS WORTH 15 MINUTES OUT OF OUR BUSY DAY ISNT IT? 
 
Lets march together!
 
Kindest  Regards
Steve Suttie
