> Thank you so much for signing the Gurkha Justice petition, and joining our
> campaign.
>
> Already, over 33,000 people have signed: an extraordinary response in
> support
> of an extraordinary group of people. We've had great coverage for the
> campaign in the media across the world, and with excellent support from
> our
> UK papers.
>
> We must be clear. We're not looking for a Government "review" of cases of
> ex-Gurkhas. We're not looking at a slight amendment in the law, a way of
> getting around the High Court's terrific judgement last week.
>
> We demand the full, fundamental change in law that will allow all retired
> Gurkhas the right to live here.
>
> In November, I plan to go to Downing Street and present the Gurkha Justice
> petition to the Government on your behalf. I want the petition to be so
> big,
> so huge, that they simply can't fail to listen.
>
> To make the biggest possible impact, we really need more people to sign:
> lots
> more. I want this to be one of the biggest petitions ever handed to the
> Government, to show our support for the Gurkha cause.
>
> Your support for the campaign is a fantastic boost: thank you so much.
> But,
> if possible, I need to ask you to help in two other ways, to encourage
> others
> to sign.
>
> Firstly, ask all of your friends and colleagues to sign up to the Gurkha
> Justice Campaign at www.gurkhajustice.org.uk - please do forward them this
> email, or email or contact them directly yourself.
>
> And secondly, you can now download a petition form for signing from
> http://www.gurkhajustice.org.uk/gurk...ition_form.pdf. Please
> download
> and print some copies, and ask friends and colleagues who have not signed
> on line to sign up. Please do pass it round (some friends of mine have run
> street stalls asking people for their signatures - I'm not asking you to
> go that far!) and return completed sheets to me at the address on the form
> by the end of October.
>
> Finally - thank you again for your support. Together, we can finally right
> this wrong.
>
> With warmest good wishes,
>
> Joanna Lumley
> for the Gurkha Justice Campaign
