On his walkabout in Madeley (24th April), Eric’s message was simple: "Let’s change Britain for the better - and you can do your bit to help us win.

“We now have just few days until the election. Just a few days, after 13 years of this Labour Government,” said Eric. “Let’s stop Labour’s jobs tax that will kill the recovery. Let’s cut benefits for those who refuse work. Let’s fund new NHS cancer drugs. Let’s have a National Citizen Service for 16 year olds. Let’s restore discipline in schools. And let’s scrap ID cards.

“It’s clear that only a decisive Conservative victory can bring real change. Every vote for Labour and the Lib Dems could leave us stuck with Gordon Brown in No.10 – or the uncertainty of a hung Parliament which could kill the recovery.”

The Conservative Party Chairman said: “It’s vital that we all roll up our sleeves and campaign for every vote. That’s why we are asking everyone to do their bit.

“It doesn’t matter if you’ve never done it before – anyone can help.”

Follow these 10 simple steps.

The first 5 are simple ways to get involved on-the-ground locally – and we’ve created this short form to help you contact your local campaign team. The other 5 can be done right now whilst you’re online.

1. Deliver leaflets – Posting leaflets through doors is one of the easiest and most important things you can do to help your local campaign. You can do it socially as a group or just stick some music on and get on with it.

2. Door-to-door canvassing - Of course, you can’t beat having a one-to-one chat with local people about who they’re planning to vote for. It’s really straightforward and you’ll get lots of support from experienced campaigners if you’ve never done it before.

3. Ring voters – Another way of talking directly to voters is giving them a ring. It’s really easy to do. You can either telecanvass from your local campaign office, get list of numbers to ring from home, or join one of the many telecavassing campaigns on MyConservatives.

4. Put up a poster or placard – With just days before people go to the polls it’s time to nail your colours to the mast. Your local campaign team will be happy to provide you with anything from a small window poster to a large placard if you have a garden. We’ve also uploaded a few Conservative posters to our website for you to download and print.

5. Do some “telling” at the polling station – On 6th May, it will be vital to have Conservative volunteers at the polling stations. Tellers play a key role in the Get Out The Vote operation by working out which of our supporters have voted.

6. Donate £10 – Small online donations are crucial to helping us combat the Lib Dems and to take the fight to Labour in new seats that are now winnable. Please give just £10 to our campaign by contributing to our Pound A Day campaign or by donating directly to one of our candidates on MyConservatives.

7. Join us on Facebook – Signing up to the Facebook pages for the Conservatives and David Cameron is a simple way of showing your support. It also helps you to keep updated on the latest campaign news, videos and picture galleries.

8. Share this video – 1 Minute of Labour is a very short, simple video about the choice we face at this election. Watch it, share it with your friends, and check out our other great videos on YouTube.

10. Send this to 10 friends – Last but not least – don’t just do these things yourself, encourage others to do them as well. Click here to forward this as an email to just 10 people – we need all hands on deck for the last 10 days of campaigning. Will your friends really want to wake up on 7th May to another 5 years of Gordon Brown?
