- The Government
is proposing to sign up to the new EU Constitution in 2004. Such a decision
will have huge consequences for our democracy.
|
|
- A change of
such magnitude must have the consent of the people and must therefore
be decided in a referendum.
|
|
- Please support
this campaign to let the people decide. Call our campaign hotline today
and request a petition form.

Marvellous response
in Kent and Sussex! Colin Bullen reports that the West Kent Democracy
Movement signed up over 1000 people on a recent Saturday in Bexleyheath,
despite the fact that they were not allowed to set up a stall. "It
is truly remarkable how many people are anxious to sign and willing to
queue in the cold to add their names to the petition. Those who claim
that the British people support the idea of an EU constitution, or even
membership of the EU itself, are living in a dreamworld".
The Democracy Movement
and CIB also held a joint Referendum04 meeting in Hastings, addressed
by Marc Glendening and Colin Bullen, and those attending were very forthright
in their support for a referendum. The event also led to many letters
in the local press, confirming the strength of feeling against Britain
being railroaded into a single European state.

Kingston branch of the Democracy Movement were also out on D-Day. John
Moran writes: "We had our first Action Day in Kingston today whilst
using the new Referendum 04 banners, livery and car stickers etc., and it
was a terrific success. We took 1003 names and gave away hundreds of Ref
04 car stickers. What was most notable was the huge support and genuine
thanks that most people on the streets showed to us for our efforts. If
this level of support is replicated throughout the UK then pressure for
a referendum will be irresistible." |

Referendum04 Group spent D-Day at the market collecting signatures.
"At times we had a queue waiting to sign up," reports Gillian Swanson.
Judith Wallace said, "everyone was supportive bar one who wished to join
the euro. He obviously misread the petition. Otherwise it was like pushing
an open door. Also, many were angry at Blair for being contemptuous of the
British electorate, and asked for petition forms to sign up their friends
and family.We collected 753 signatures and it was fantastic to be able to
play our part in a national effort." |

Hewitson of Birtley says, "no-one is refusing to sign the petition
on our door to door collection in the area. Local shops, including the

to help network with their customers. It is fantastic to see the community
coming together to support Referendum04."
