Dear John,

We set this site up to send encouragement to support you to go to Copenhagen.

It seemed to have some success... so we are encouraged to keep it going.

We want to support you to be a brave courageous and honorable leader, and there are some new policies on the table that threaten your reputation as a good leader.

We want to support you to work hard to protect the things that we hold dear, to guarantee 'thriveability' for all New Zealanders - today and in the future.

We have great hopes for you as a leader, and now is your chance to shine. There's a special role for you in the Big Work of our time. We know that it's hard work, but we are confident that you are up to it. Go on John, make us proud.

We stand behind you.
With love,
Us

C'mon John!

Dear John,

I am a kiwi living in London, and was very disappointed to hear you weren’t joining the other world leaders in Copenhagen. I have now just read you might be going. That would be fantastic and would make me proud to be a kiwi again. I have been ashamed to tell my british friends/clients that my prime minister isn’t going. They are wondering if New Zealand is serious about tackling climate change and joining the world in making commitments to reduce our carbon emissions. I would love to be able to say ‘Yes we are, our prime minister is heading to the Copenhagen conference and he really wants to make a difference’.

Thanks John

Regards,

A hopeful Kiwi in London
