It's time to do your bit - take action now!

For members of the general public, there are two ways in which you can do your bit through this website to make sure the whole Armed Forces family get the best deal possible:

• Sign our petition
  to show your support for our manifesto.
   
• Email your election candidates
  to encourage them to do their bit for the whole Armed Forces family.
   
  Please note that some parties have yet to select candidates. The Royal British Legion is not responsible for the provision of candidates' email addresses, which are collected, updated and supplied by an external company.

Thanks to our supporters many MPs and PPCs have already pledged to do their bit for the whole Armed Forces family. We've prepared some graphs to demonstrate this, which will be updated regularly in the lead up to the election.
