More details
David Davis stood down from Parliament to trigger a by election, because he was so disturbed by the government's win on the 42 day detention bill.
I will do anything i can: donating money, helping campaign, manning a phone bank - whatever will help him win re-election with a majority to show the government how people really feel.
- publish a blog post on Tuesday 24th March about a woman in technology whom I admire
- protest the CHE movie on opening night
- stand for Parliament at the next general election to use the free mailing to raise awarenes of the unfairness of straddling young people with massive debt in order to complete higher education
- make my voice heard and help young people’s views to get noticed. When I have an opinion on a news story, I will voice it in the media by commenting online, writing to editors of papers or magazines, or calling in to TV or radio programmes. It’s our news too.
- create a standing order of 5 pounds per month to support an organisation that fosters alternatives to the current profit-driven economic system

If Labour do not field a candidate, it will show that they are not confident of their arguments for such erosions of civil liberties.
If you value your civil liberties, whether or not you are a Tory, you should support Davis in this by-election because we don't want the next government to be dominated by authoritarian Conservatives.
Anyone who wants to help David Davis should ring his office on: (01482) 657938 or email him at: conservative@haltemprice.karoo.co.uk

These inlands and England in particular have urgent need of good leadership.
We support and respect you.
However my wife and I spent 10 years of our teen age years in the Armed Forces during the Last War and lost many friends and think he is wrong to put Human Rights before the fight against Terrorism.
I would like to write to him more fully with my views but have searched everywhere I can think of trying to find a way to contact him without success so would welcome any help via my e-mail address above.

You can contact him via his constituency office, details at:

There is also his campaign website, which offers a number of ways of communicating with him/his team:

I had no trouble finding the former shortly after his resignation speech or the latter when it launched last week.
The polls since his resignation show the Tories maintaining or even increasing their solid lead over Labour, so I don't know why you think this has damaged the Tory party.
Also there's no evidence (even the govt concedes this) that the police currently need an extension on the current 28 day limit for the pre-charge detention of terrorist suspects so I think your charge of putting human rights before terrorism is misplaced.
