Please if you havent already can you 'digg' this story here if you need help let me know but it is litterally a 1 minute job.

I have now included a paragraph in the letter stating I have the support and backing of online pregnancy and parenting community Madmums.

Thanks guys.

Well said sam - lets get this story out there!

I have copied my letter to 17 organisations and local media groups (plus this morning!) and will continue to do so but I really need your support. My MP isnt the only one opposing this, do you know if yours supports this manifesto? If not do as I have done.

Lets show the leaders of this country: NEVER MESS WITH A MADMUM!
