I have been listening to the ...irish4palestine....<br /><br />I have been listening to the radio and there is quite abit of anti-Lisbon chatter going on. I am putting 8x11 sheets of paper in my back seat windows saying that I am voting no for all those who aren't being given a chance to vote on Lisbon.<br /><br />We can flood newspapers with letters.<br /><br />It's not over till its over.<br /><br />Together we are stronger.Sheilanagighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535514034740406104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172969907376117451.post-46217715827420813152009-09-01T15:09:19.932+01:002009-09-01T15:09:19.932+01:00Ya know Sheila, I have a bad feeling about it this...Ya know Sheila, I have a bad feeling about it this time.

I agree the media intimidation now of ...Notsilvia,<br /><br />I agree the media intimidation now of the Irish will begin in earnest; trying to frighten people who are already suffering financial instability to accept Lisbon for fear of their survival.<br /><br />The EU well knows this treaty was rejected because of its enormous complexity to the voter. Yet there has been NO effort to clarify the major issues which Lisbon affects for member states. Why is that?<br /><br />For all the EU citizens who will not get to vote, I am voting no, because they have no voice. Even though the first time I voted for the Treaty. <br /><br />There is naught wrong with the EU treaties as they stand. And the thought of having Sarkozy or Blair as EU president for 2 1/2 years gives me serious indigestion.<br /><br />Thanks for you thoughtful comment.<br /><br />Together we are stronger.Sheilanagighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535514034740406104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6172969907376117451.post-74568540020709561062009-09-01T01:13:50.149+01:002009-09-01T01:13:50.149+01:00A very good article.
I agree, the Lisbon treaty is...A very good article.<br />I agree, the Lisbon treaty is indeed one to serve the interests of the elites. And the elites have a deep disdain for democracy, or for ordinary people altogether.<br /><br />Citizens of other European countries have not even been give the tool to support or reject the treaty in form of a referendum.<br /><br />The threats Ireland faces for having rejected the treaty once and for doing it possibly once again, sound very familiar.<br />They are the same threats we keep on hearing here in Iceland for rejecting the unconditional payments of the Icesave-debts:<br />Iceland will be isolated... it will never recover from the crisis ... and so on, and so on.<br /><br />Iceland and Ireland have indeed quite a bit in common besides a similar name.<br />I hope you people will stand strong in your rejection of the treaty.<br /><br />Who knows, in a few years the power-constellation in Europe will change. Without the treaty, and with the elites powers diminished, European countries might eventually even develop a real democracy.<br />.....One can always hope.Notsilvia Nighthttp://notsylvia.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
