Just want to point out that the blogpost doesn't seem very effective it achieving it's stated goal. I'm curious how many people actually acted on it (i.e., approached their MEP representatives) and if their actions had any effect.

You are urged to take action, but neither of the linked posts makes it easy for people to do that. Ok, there is a link to a website where I can find some email address for "Permanent Representation of <country name>", thanks. Is it it? Should I send an email? Like, do I have to prove I'm a citizen of <country name> or is emailing them anonymously from some batman69@gmail.com email account is totally fine? I have no idea. Who is my counter-agent, how should I talk to them? Should I assume they are very well aware of the proposal and have their opinion, or are they most likely ignorant about all that stuff? What do I write? What this is supposed to achieve? Do I just email the url to this blog-post? Well, this should be actually a preferable solution, I imagine, but the blogpost doesn't seem to be written in a way to be convincing to a random MEP (assuming he NEEDS to be convinced).

I don't claim I could do better (I'm totally ignorant about all that stuff), but just saying it isn't as actionable as it could probably be.
