Lisbon Treaty, no referendum?!
This post is meant for all Europeans and for those interested.
Remember the referendum for the European constitution in 2005? France and the Netherlands rejected the proposed constitution, therefore it was cancelled! And now! Lo and behold... it's back and this time without referendum! WTF?! The EU constitution was rewritten and renamed as the "Treaty of Lisbon". Now they tell the people that no more referendums are necessary. Except for Ireland - the government of Ireland is smart - they are holding a referendum the 12th of June.
So what can we do about it? Tell everyone about this treaty. Tell every Irish person you know to vote NO. Also sign the petition here. It's a matter of liberty and freedom for the European people.
- Official site
- Petition, links and more info
- Youtube movie (lucky even some MEPs are for a referendum)
Update: Ireland voted no!!! Let's see what will happen next.
Vote NO
said Friday, 06 June 2008:Please Irish People, in the name of Europeans peoples , vote NO !
See the comments below this french article http://www.liberation.fr/actualite/monde/330142.FR.php
Most of the commentators wish Ireland could vote NO.
If ever it\u2019d happened, this would be a huge slap in the face of the European Commision technocrats who are completely disconnected from reality. The current way the European Union is designed is mainly in the interest of politicians, media and corporations and definitely not in the interest of the majority of the people.
If ever Ireland voted YES, Europe would become the poodle-puppet of the USA, specially into military domains.
Please, be wise, vote NO and do not fear the pressure of the press and of politicians.
