SUPPORT YOUR NHS - Peoples NHS Petition
Dear Colleague
24 politicians have received money from private healthcare companies, then voted for a law that carves up the NHS and hands it to … private healthcare companies! [1] These people sold off our NHS to make a cheap buck. That's wrong, so we need to pressure them to give the money back, to NHS charties. Can you sign the petition today to make that happen?

When the expenses scandal broke a few years ago, a public outcry forced MPs to pay back money they'd wrongly claimed. [2] If we can make this story a huge scandal too - we can have the same effect.
And we're already on our way to doing this. The Guardian article has been shared over 15,000 times, it’ll have been read by hundreds of thousands of people. If we can keep going, and put our names on a big petition, we can keep up the pressure - and make sure the money is returned.
But we'll have to act now. This story was in the newspapers this weekend - and all week it's been going crazy on social media. Meanwhile, politicians have just had their party conferences where they try to woo voters. Our petition is exactly the sort of publicity politicians don't need. They’ll want to be seen to be doing the right thing, so they're vulnerable to this kind of presssure.
These companies, who have our MPs on their books, now have business worth £1.5 billion within the NHS. They must think that Westminster is a great investment! Let's make it clear that we don't think it's right that our NHS was sold off so that at bunch of MPs and their mates in big companies could make even more money. Please sign the petition today It should only take a minute or two and together we can pressure those MPs to return their money back to the NHS

People’s NHS members are already coming together and saving parts of the NHS. We’ve pushed the government to increase funding to London GP’s surgeries not once, but twice. [3] Together, we can win this campaign too, and shame those MPs into giving the NHS back the money they took whilst flogging it off.
Thanks for everything you do,
Andrew Tobert and the People's NHS team
