The rights of individuals and charitable organisations to speak freely about the causes they fight for and work to resolve/improve should be protected FULL STOP! I support many of these organisations financially but also morally because there are many things about this country and our world that are simply not right and need the passion and sacrifice that people are willing to make in time, effort and sheer devotion to answer these needs! Please resolve this bill so that these organisations can continue the vital work that can sometimes be taken for granted!

Why is British politics so afraid of democratic consideration of the establishment's opinion? We have seen far too many "unforeseen consequences" for a lack of objective planning.

Individuals and organisations must be free to criticise proposed government policy, otherwise how can we possibly call ourselves a democracy?

The Lobbying Bill would stop charities and campaigning groups from speaking out on some of the most important issues facing the country and the planet, even once recent Government changes to the Bill are taken into account. So please listen to those of us who asking you to take another look at this issue. Thank you

This Bill desperately needs amending to safeguard open critisism of policy. This is a fundamental democratic right!

The "Lobbying Bill" is nothing other than a cynical ploy to silence all and any opposition to Government policy and "political correctness". Stop it before it stops YOU!

As the Chairman of Trustees of two smaller charities, working on our own and in partnership, the burden of accounting for specific campaigning costs would be prohibitive. We are always seeking higher funding and this would undoubtedly impact on the admin costs of the charity in one case in particular.
