Can I suggest that, if anyone is currently feeling the need to do something but hasn't settled on a single route, they start by joining RESCUE. Its ?15 a year subscription and, if you look at their website they do have a cuts related campaign already up and running, as Kevin has pointed out.
I also back Moreno's suggestion of crafting something tangible on this forum - the talent, opinion and I suspect willingness to act are all here so lets do something simple to begin with.
And BAJR's assessment of the voice and the leader is exactly what I've been getting at. We need to forget about the differences and get behind something simple which carries the principle that we all agree on: don't hit heritage! It doesn't need personalities or leaders, it just needs the appropriate forum for people from all backgrounds to express support. It is then down to the various groups including RESCUE , as to how they use that support, something that can be crafted and diplomatised over seperately. The current absence of that effective, clear voice needs to be corrected and it needs to happen now.
