Operation Money as Debt (OMAD) in full swing.
The
Money Reform Party has produced, under licence, Money As Debt DVDs for
purchase by UK-based customers. These can be bought individually from
the Money Reform Party, or in batches for mailing out to individuals and
organisations potentially sympathetic to our cause. Please contact
us for copies of the DVD. It is this process of batch purchase and
sending on that is Operation Money as Debt.
For every £5 donated, you will receive a copy of the DVD for your
own purposes (if you want one).
That means if the whole of £1500 is covered by donations, then up
to 300 will go to yourselves, leaving 700 for the 'national campaign'.
The question is to whom should these be sent. Thinking about this and
listening to the thoughts of others, my idea is that we should target
the Green Movement - local Green Party, Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace
groups, and all the various publications and other organisations that
full under that category.
The environment is the big subject at present. We need to ensure that
those pressing on environmental matters understand that a debt-free money
supply is essential to attaining a sustainable economy. Also, if the Green
lobby can see that environmental protection can be secured by methods
other than taxing people to the hilt, their message will become a more
palatable one for the general public.
The idea of going for an 'identifiable' group is that hopefully most people
who receive the DVD will each know one or two other people in their circle
of acquaintances who will also receive one, or will read about it in a
magazine or newsletter. So it will be seen as an 'event', and they will
have someone with whom to compare notes.
If anyone can think of a better identifiable group at this stage, please
put your ideas forward.
I f you want send one to your MP, feel free to do so.
I have had the idea from Sue Bell and Judy Brown to do a follow up by
phone call to those we send out a DVD. Also, from Matteo Mazzariol (or
rather, his wife) has come the idea that we send a letter out first, with
a simple reply card asking whether people would like to receive a free
copy of the DVD. This is Plan B. It will cost more, but we might get a
better return for the cost.
If anyone wants to make follow up phone calls, contact the secretary at
the address below and she shall give them the relevant contact details.
Which brings me onto the subject of names, addresses with (ideally) telephone
numbers for say, 1000 to 2000 potential recipients. If anyone wants to
research these, in whole or part, or has any to put forward from their
present knowledge, please let me know.
Any further donations should be sent to:
