A
BOOKLET WHICH WILL CHANGE YOU AND THE WORLD AT EASTER AND
THEREAFTER
The publication contributors:
Dr Rowan Williams -Archbishop of Canterbury and
Dr John Sentamu -Archbishop of York.
A small hand-size booklet came into our possession a
week ago which will we are sure will be to many people already a way of
life but for many in this increasingly hurried and bustling life it will
be a reminder to be
"generous to yourself and your neighbours and the
world"
Of course it is easy to talk of such things and many
will say they don't need reminding and anyway you haven't got the
neighbour that they have. Nevertheless we can all learn and in that
frame of mind we decided to give the booklet
"LOVE Life

by

Political
Reporter
[Daily Mail-Wednesday, June
18,2008]
MORE THAN HALF of voters believe Britain should
drop the controversial European Treaty in the wake of its

IRISH REFERENDUM'
The poll comes as the Tories launch a last-ditch
bid in the
HOUSE of LORDS
today to delay the
RATIFICATION OF
THE TREATY.
And
10,000 people
have signed a
PETITION
on the
DOWNING STREET-
WEBSITE
within the past few days
JUNE16-2008
, calling on the
GOVERNMENT
NOT TO RATIFY THE BILL

So You Want Out
Of The EU
THEN WHY NOT SIGN THE
RENUNCIATION of EU CITIZENSHIP
WHY WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT
When we first saw the petition we reasoned
that it had no chance of success from No 10 but we supported it
in order to gauge the number of Britons who would publicly put
their name to a list which stated that they wished to
RENUNCIATE EU CITIZENSHIP and retain only BRITISH.-THAT
IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. Some might say that to hide behind a
negative premise is both cowardly and playing into the hands of
the EU FEDERALISTS. DON'T LET THEM GET AWAY WITH IT- Place
your vote so ALL can see that YOU CARE. about YOUR COUNTRY and
YOUR FREEDOM.

Details from petition creator
With the signing of the Maastricht
Treaty the people of Britain were given
DUAL CITIZENSHIP
-both
EUROPEAN and BRITISH
The extra tier of citizenship was
thrust upon the people without their consent -and in many cases
knowledge.
The PEOPLE of GREAT BRITAIN should be
allowed the option of opting out of the EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP if they so
wish. The GOVERNMENT will then be able to provide those who have opted
out with
BRITISH DOCUMENTATION
-only such as British (not EU)
passports, driving licences and other national documents.
EU laws will also NOT APPLY to those who
HAVE OPTED OUT OF EUROPEAN CITIZENSHIP
[PETITION OPEN UNTIL
OCTOBER 08]
