I am involved in political lobbying at times.
Lots of issues pass these men and women, and one thing mentioned is easily 
lost. But things which are happening in common across many electorates will 
get talked about in the lunch rooms and party rooms, and this gives an 
impression of a groundswell of public opinion.

So we would all need to be doing this at about the same time - writing 
individual letters or emails - if we want to have an effect.

I've been cautious lately in asking for information, waiting for the licence 
debate to be settled.
