Dear all

If you are involved in a community media group or are a community
media 
supporter there is an important but short term opportunity to get
your MP 
to make a contribution to the campaign and to raise profile of your
local 
group.

It has just been announced today that the Second Reading of the
Office of 
Communications Bill will take place in the House of Commons on
Monday 
afternoon 14 January 2002. No amendments take place at Second
Reading but 
the Bill will be debated in the Commons for the first time and MPs
will 
have an opportunity to raise issues which they consider important.

If you are ready to help with this lobbying effort you will need to
contact 
your MP before Monday afternoon by phoning their constituency
office, 
attending their constituency surgery at the weekend or by calling
the House 
of Commons on Monday morning on 020 7219 3000. Ask them if they
would speak 
in support of community media and tell them about your local
community 
media group.

There is a CMA briefing on the OFCOM Bill at 
www.commedia.org.uk/campaign/briefings/brief12.doc which you can
download 
and fax to your MP to assist them during the debate. Further
background 
briefings on the Community Media Campaign can be found on the CMA
campaign 
pages at www.commedia.org.uk/campaign

You can also watch the debate on Monday on cable TV on the BBC
Parliament 
Channel or through the BBC website at www.bbc.co.uk/bbcparliament

Best wishes

Steve Buckley
CMA Director
