silicon.com's ID Cards on Trial campaign is calling on supporters to get involved and take action by contacting their MP.
Our campaign is challenging the government on the unrealistic cost estimates, shifting scope and unproven technology proposed for the UK's £5.8bn national ID card scheme, which we believe is shaping up to become another costly IT disaster on the basis of current proposals.
The campaign already has the backing of cross-party politicians, academics, IT industry technical experts and many silicon.com readers.
Now we are asking silicon.com readers and other supporters of our campaign to write or email their MP with the concerns we have outlined.
All you need to do is print off this page and this page (or you could email them with the links) and send it to your local MP with a letter voicing your opposition to the current ID card proposals and asking them to raise your concerns in parliament.
If you don't know who your MP is or don't know their contact details, you can find out by searching under name or constituency on the UK parliament website or by searching under your postcode here.
Get writing and emailing and be sure to forward any responses to us here at editorial@silicon.com.
