Nice idea, but why can’t I re-tweet or Facebook it?

And why is the text and image? Makes it hard to copy/paste it manually to prefered sharing tool.

I like the way this campaign allows users to participate at different levels:

  • Can click yes/no and still remain anonymous
  • Can participate in a private manner via email
  • Can participate in a social sphere by promoting on facebook and even “robin-hoodify” your profile picture
  • Can participate in a public sphere by promoting on twitter and flickr and “robin-hoodify” your twitter profile pic
  • This is my favourite bit: Can participate in a guerilla fashion by shooting an arrow at your MP via twitter using this arrow symbol #~~>
  • And the site helps you locate MP’s emails so you can send a message (or an arrow) to them directly
