PLUG-IN citizen-led democracy/APPEAL FOR CO-OPERATION
Below you can read a short letter addressed to Climate Campaigners.
which can serve as an example of a request for co-operation among people
and groups concerned about "worthy causes" ;-)
Sincerely,
Michael
----------
Protests like _*Climate Camp*_ are invaluable in bringing dangers and
challenges into public view. They can help to inform and may change
people's attitudes.
To alter _*government action*_ and direction of _*public policy*_ we
need _*stronger democracy*_ so that the people can overrule the
politicians, colluding with their backers in business and finance.
_*Direct democracy*_ is a big part of the answer but without the right
"tools" it will remain an unfulfilled dream. These tools of citizen-led
democracy include _*"the initiative"*_ (law-proposal), the
_*veto-referendum*_ (a government law can be blocked or repealed); plus
_"*the recall*"_ of elected MPs and officials.
Join the struggle for democracy in 21st century Britain. _*"It's about
time"*_.
Why not _"PLUG IN"_ the campaign for direct democracy, adding this call
to your demands? See for example I&R ~ GB.
All the best,
Michael
