e - "If you're true democrats then you'd join me in the call to let the people decide their own future; don't foist it upon them!" ............................ LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE! Go to http://X09.eu and demand for a REFERENDUM in your country on the Lisbon Treaty, the rejected EU Constitution
in disguise. ............................ Source of speech clips: European Parliament Audio-Visual Library Music: Corner Stone Cues - a) Requiem For A Tower in four movements, b) Forest Chase Closing music excerpt from Coldplay - Clocks ............................ Note on EU Constitution and Lis
bon Treaty: The people of France and the Netherlands rejected the proposed EU constitution in the 2005 referendums. After this, 5 countries that had promised a referendum cancelled it and the EU Constitution was re-written as an "amending treaty" or a "reform treaty" and named "Treaty of Lisbon". O
n the basis of this deceit, they now maintain that no more referendums are necessary. Only Ireland is holding a referendum. All other countries are ratifying the disguised EU Constitution without asking the people. The EU Constitution establishes a new "European Union" with joint citizenship - an
EU "federal" State that is technically and politically empowered to further centralize power in Brussels; a European State comprising of 27 nation-states ruled by a triumvirate of European institutions led by the unelected EU Commission, which serves as the governing body of the Union. With co-decis
ion powers to block legislation, but never to initiate it, the European Council comprises of representatives of the governments of member states. This ineffectual co-decision process is shared with the European Parliament, which is the only directly elected institution and the only channel for Europ
ean citizens to possibly reverse the totalitarian trend and preserve freedom and democracy. .................................. To view the Political Groups in the European Parliament go to: http://www.europarl.europa.eu/members/expert.do?language=EN .................................. EU Member Sta
