pasted from the RDG Forum, a worthy cause if you already have not participated...

I have been sent the following message . My understanding is that
>> Selly Oak is good but its just not able to deal with the numbers coming
>> back. Like that outrageous business at Ashford where the NIMBY's tried
>> to stop a Families Hospital near Headley Court , ! this seems to me to
>> be one that the whole military family should get behind. As you will see
>> below, time is short but it should still be possible to get some real
>> numbers behind this one. If you feel able to help please sign up by
>> visiting the link below, and also please pass it on. I'm not in favour
>> to chain letters but this one really is worth it. They stopped road
>> pricing because of the millions who signed one of these petitions -
>> maybe we can do the same for a military hospital.
>>
>> 'Maybe you will join this petition? Only 8500 people thereabouts have

>>
>> Just some background, 2 Para alone have on this tour sent back over 50
>> casualties to the UK and from having been to Selly Oak myself I know
>> that many cannot be accommodated so when all of the casualties from
>> other battle groups are added to the figure, how is ONE ward in an NHS
>> hospital going to cope? It cannot cope, the individual troops are sent
>> home to recover rlying on NHS visiting services which themselves are
>> over committed.
>>
>> A lot more than 5000 names are needed for this petition and quite
>> cynically, Downing Street has put a time limit of one month for this to
>> be achieved.
>>
>> Do what you can.' Please petition to
