Not strictly veggie-related but I hope you don't mind my forwarding this. If you approve of hunting just delete.
Please reply to Chris (chrisgale35@...), not to me.
Thanks.

Subject: *****SPAM***** Stop Cameron Campaign
Dear all,
The Stop Cameron Campaign is a UK wide network of animal welfare campaigners and other concerned members of the public.
We are determined to do everything we can to highlight Cameron's pledge to repeal the Hunting Act.
The press does not report the full extent of Cameron's agenda and his close links to the Hunting fraternity. As a result the public are to a large extent unaware of the Tory leadership's pro hunting with dogs agenda.
Repeal of the Hunting Act would take place very quickly following a Tory win, it would be a simple Bill to annul it. Some 50% of Lib Dem MPs are also pro hunting so would vote with the vast majority of Tories to fully re-legalise the barbarity fox hunting, stag and deer hunting with dogs and hare coursing.
Over the past year the Stop Cameron campaign has held several successful peaceful demonstrations outside Tory events. These included a protest outside the 'Cameron Direct' events in Worcester and the Wirral which got a lot of public support, outside the Tory conference in Birmingham and similar events in Wales.
The clear majority of the public are horrified when they find out the truth about Cameron and his pro hunt agenda.
A Tory government would be a calamity and unleash a dark future for our wildlife. It must not happen, hence this campaign which is getting a lot of support from across the country. We have also linked scores of people, often who have never taken part in politics before, with anti hunt MPs to assist with leafleting etc in marginal seats.
The hunt fraternity (the Countryside Alliance and their front organisation called 'Vote Ok') have placed liaison officers within virtually every Tory constituency association in the country. Their job is to coordinate grassroots activity to ensure the removal of as many anti hunting MPs as possible. They do this in the background, never advertising their presence.
At the last election, it was noticeable that in some constituencies the Tory election expenses returns were quite low, in at least one case this was where 'Vote OK' had been very active doing the work normally done by regular Tory campaigners. The Countryside Alliance has a Chief Executive, Simon Hart, who is a Tory Parliamentary candidate (and a key ally of Cameron) in a key marginal.
I am writing to ask for your help in alerting me to Tory events within your areas.
Since our protests outside the Worcester 'Cameron Direct' event, which severely embarrassed and annoyed the Tories, they have taken to making it much harder for us to find out when and where they are holding events in terms of visits by Cameron etc.
If you could alert me to any events that come up in your area where Cameron or other front bench Tories will be speaking or involved in visits etc, I would be very grateful. The more notice the better.
Also, I am happy to assist further on any of the issues above which may be of interest.

Many thanks for your help
With best wishes
