sunwalking’s posterous

Roger Prentice  //  THIS SITE - SunWALKing - a life-streaming blog - from the deliciously silly to the shatteringly profound!
.
THEMES = the arts, photography, Philosophy for Children, pan-religious spirituality, personal development, coaching, media, - and exposing the curse of fundamentalism. SunWALKing = walking with your 'sun' - whatever lights your path!
.
PHOTOGRAPH ABOVE shows the great A J Heschel marching with MLK at Selma. Heschel said, "When I marched in Selma, my feet were praying." One sun-walked in the light of Jewish teachings, the other of Christian teachings - many paths, one summit. Pity the one woman never gets a mention (anyone tell me the radiant nun's name?)

Steps you can take right now to get Fair Voting for England/UK


Dear Reader

Among the general atmosphere of dry rot in Westminster, "change" can be considered a bad word. But when it comes to obstinacy against electoral reform, not all MPs are created equal.

Some are worse than others. And we've identified 13 MPs who are the very worst - making up a rogues' gallery of resistance to the change we so urgently need.

Help us name and shame them now. Write to these MPs and demand to know why, despite the crisis in our democracy caused by the expenses scandal, they won't allow voters to have a say on a fairer voting system:

Because comfort with voters' disenfranchisement is a bipartisan affair, politicians from both side of the house are members of our gallery.

On the Labour side, we've got Jack Straw, Ed Balls, and Peter Mandelson - who said in 2000 that the first-past-the-post system for electing MPs was "unfair and effectively disenfranchised millions of people." (Over the ensuing nine years, he's apparently decided that mass disenfranchisement suits him and his party just fine.)

And on the Conservative side, we've got party chair Eric Pickles, George Osbourne, and David Cameron - who wants to be the "Change Candidate." But not to the point where he'll actually support the sort of change that counts.

These MPs have the power to restore faith in our democracy following the expense crisis and give voters a voice again. But they haven't. And they won't, unless we expose them :

It only takes a couple of minutes to name and shame - and believe me, it's good for the soul. Hope you'll join me in writing to these MPs today.

Thanks,

Willie Sullivan
