120% and growing

Yesterday afternoon we sent out an email to our supporters in the East Midlands asking them to sign up to a letter that Roger McKenzie, the Regional Secretary of the TUC, was sending to a couple of local newspapers later today in protest of a BNP fundraising meeting in Ashfield tonight.

Hundreds of people have already signed up, which is fantastic. For those who are interested in statistics I can tell you that at 10am today, the open rate was at 120%, which is really impressive.

For those who don't understand what this means, it is quite simple. More people opened this email than were actually sent it by us. That means people have been signing it and passing it on to their friends who in turn have opened it. Hopefully, this figure will grow during the day.

If you live in the East Midlands and would like to sign the letter then go to:
