Tell Tony Blair to keep his promises
 We need you to e-mail Tony Blair TODAY to tell him to keep his promises. Last year, he led the G8 Summit which promised to make poverty history. And, at a series of crucial meetings over the next three months, world leaders will decide whether they keep these promises.
We need Tony Blair to make sure that the World Bank and International Monetary Fund meetings and the G8 in July turn aid promises into real money for teachers, nurses and doctors who can deliver health and education to everyone in poor countries.
We also want him to use his influence as a world leader to change the EU's position in the current trade talks, and deliver on his promise to champion an international Arms Trade Treaty.
Just sending this e-mail will really make a difference. Here's the evidence: in early April 2006, the government of Zambia scrapped the £120 fee that rural people pay to see a doctor. They were able to do so because of the extra aid and debt cancellation agreed at that G8 summit last year. And the G8 leaders acted because millions of people like you told them to.
When millions of people speak loudly enough, politicians have to act. But we can't get that message through unless you do your bit. So tell Tony Blair to deliver on his promises and insist that other world leaders do the same.
Are you in? Send Tony the e-mail now >>
