A true democracy encourages and encompasses challenge and debate, otherwise it is not a democracy.

We have a right and responsibility to speak out for those vulnerable people that are not able to speak for themselves.

Public consent legitimises government. This Bill risks giving the appearance without the substance of that legitimacy so is doubly threatening.

The campaigning work of charities has a truly critical role to play in a free and open democracy, representing the needs of many underrepresented, isolated and often vulnerable individuals and communities. Please vote for Lord Harries` amendments to The Lobbying Bill.

As a not so able bodied person i need for my voice to be heard, We need people to help us getting our voices heard,!! Taking away our voices and the reality of what that would mean to everyone! We need people to speak for us when we cannot ourselves!

If ever there was a time to move forwards,it is now. The approval of the Lobbying Bill would result in going backwards thus destroying and negating all the work that has been done and success achieved in the last few years.

Many disabled people are either unable to reach parliament to lobby by health or by poor public accessible transport provision - we, therefore rely on charities and campaign groups to lobby for us - please do not allow our ever persistent need to have our voices heard be diminished by MPs, many of whom use the lobbying system to promote their own interests

We all ned help. To much has been taken from the wrong people and not enough job's avialble for the disable people who want to work but are afriad of having benefits taken away. A very scary time for those who need help most. We are not all millionares like those making these disitions. We are not in it all together.
