Just got this email sent through and i though i would share it, lets see if we can get the 500,000 names. Please feel free to share, facebook etc..
This Wednesday there is a crunch vote in Parliament. MPs will vote on a motion demanding a rethink of plans to sell our national forests. The fact this vote is happening shows that MPs have noticed our campaign. But we're not done yet.
On Wednesday morning, MPs will open the newspapers to see full-page adverts showing the number of people whove taken a stand by signing the Save Our Forests petition. The more of us that sign the petition the more pressure MPs will be under.
Right now, the petition is nearly 330,000 strong, and every name counts. So were setting a bold new target of half a million people by 5pm on Tuesday in time for the ad printing deadline and Wednesdays hugely important vote. Will you take a moment to spread the word right now?
Please forward this email and share this link:

So many of us have joined this campaign because we all understand something the government doesnt seem to get yet: that our woodlands and forests are priceless, and once theyre gone theyre gone forever.
We know that places like the Forest of Dean, the New Forest, Grizedale, Thetford, and Alice Holt are national treasures. We know that they belong to all of us, and we will do whatever we can to keep them in public hands and protect them for future generations.
Thats why thousands of 38 Degrees members have chipped in to pay for these adverts in the first place -- and its not too late for more of us who care about our woodlands to be heard.
Forward this email and ask your friends to sign the petition by using the link below:

Every new signature adds weight to our message so well be holding off on printing the final ad until the absolute last moment.
Thanks for getting involved,
Thanks very much - Shutz
