> No to the proposed European constitution ! Solidarity with the French left’s campaign to vote "No" !

I was all for the EEC, when it was for the economic good of Europe. But now they are creating the United States of Europe, as a mirror of the United States of America, and we’ve all seen what has happened on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. America seems to be descending with incredible rapidity down the slippery slope into fascism, or at least a super-state mode of thinking. George Orwell seems to have been off in his predictions by about 20 years.
Do we really want the same thing to happen to us? Are we really as stupid as the Americans? I hope not. Because if we are, we can say goodbye to any hope of a sane and sensible future for our children and grandchildren, at the very least.
If you have any independent thoughts left, I suggest you look at the powers that this constitution gives the European government, and what powers it takes away from you and your own government. Then you will find it much easier to vote "NO!" If you still vote yes, you have only yourselves to blame afterwards; the people get the government they deserve!
