I also did some cribbing - this is my email:
I am writing to you about an issue too important to be ignored: namely, the current state of affairs in the US and our Government's reaction to it.
You will be aware that Mr Trump's ban on immigration from a number of countries on the grounds of prevention of terrorism has caused protests across the USA and has drawn global condemnation. Many thousands of innocent people have found their lives thrown into chaos by this racist and morally indefensible act. In addition, it affects a number of British citizens who hold dual nationality or who were born in those countries: not least of all your Parliamentary colleague, the MP for Stratford upon Avon and our much celebrated Olympian Mo Farah.
Mrs May's extreme reluctance to comment on this was simply shameful. Seeing a British Prime Minister having to have a statement dragged out of her was embarrassing - even more so given the weakness of her comments. According to the BBC website, she eventually stated that she does "not agree" with Donald Trump's refugee ban and will appeal to the US "if it affects British citizens". Are we to surmise that racist policies acceptable to her if the citizens involved are not British? This is not good enough.
How can we possibly talk about British values if we are not courageous enough to condemn this in the strongest possible terms? And how can young Muslims - many of whom already feel marginalised - believe that they are truly part of this country when their own government will not condemn this despicable attack on their innocent co-religionists?
We are in tremendous danger from this horrific state of affairs and I hope the Conservative Parliamentary Party will make it clear to the Prime Minister that we have a moral duty to tell the Americans that no trade deals will be forthcoming with such a repugnant US Administration: one that silences its scientists, encourages religious and racial hatred and wishes to remove women's rights to reproductive medicine - especially as we are most unlikely to benefit from any agreement that enables US companies to move in on the NHS or lower our food safety standards. There will be no credit in being a global leader if that lead is to fascism.
My son is one year old, and I am fearful for his future. In years to come, I do not want him to ask why I did nothing, when I foresaw a slide towards fascism. I will stand up to be counted.
I ask you to examine your own conscience too.
Yours sincerely,
