Message from David Cameron on the EU

Yesterday the Lisbon Treaty was signed by the President of the Czech Republic. It is now set to become EU law.
I know from the huge number of letters and emails that I have been receiving how much people will resent the fact we cannot now have the referendum we were promised by Labour.
But I have always been clear that, if this situation came about, I would immediately set out how a Conservative Government would respond.

First, if we win the next election, we will prohibit, by law, the transfer of further power to the EU without a referendum. Never again should it be possible for a British government to transfer power to the EU without the British people's consent.
Second, we will introduce a United Kingdom Sovereignty Bill to make it clear that ultimate authority stays in this country, in our Parliament.
And third, we want to negotiate three specific guarantees with our European partners over powers that we believe should reside with Britain, not the EU. We will negotiate the return of Britain's opt-out from social and employment legislation in those areas which have proved most damaging to our economy and public services. We also want a complete opt-out from the Charter of Fundamental Rights. And we would negotiate for a return of powers in criminal justice to prevent EU judges gaining steadily greater control over our criminal justice system.
If I am elected Prime Minister, the British Government I lead will be an active member of the European Union. Like every other Member State, we will fight our corner to advance our national interests. But our guiding principles will be that Britain's interests are best served by a European Union that is an association of its member states - and we must never allow Britain to slide into a federal Europe.

David Cameron

The Lisbon treaty is an undemocratic constitutional instrument that effectively renders every nation state in Europe into a province of the European UnionBy accepting the treaty of Lisbon we collectively surrender the sovereignty and independence, that European nations have fought so hard to achieve.When Ireland voted 'No' they were pressured to vote again, this time returning the 'Yes' result that the EU required. The only obstacle to the final ratification of the Lisbon treaty is one man; the Czech president, Vaclav Klaus.So far he has demonstrated admirable courage and conviction in refusing to sign this treaty - but, following the Irish 'Yes' vote, he will be under increasing pressure to ratify it on behalf of the Czech people.It is vital to lend Mr. Klaus our full support, and to make him aware that we are behind him and that we support his decision not to sign. If he holds out for a few months until the UK Conservative party gain power at the forthcoming general election there is every chance that the British people will insist upon their own referendum.If this happens, the Lisbon treaty will almost certainly fail, due to the overwhelming opposition of the British electorate.Therefore, we must encourage Vaclav Klaus in his steadfastness, make him aware that millions of Europeans do not want this treaty, - and that they have put their hope and trust into his ability to delay it until Britain is finally able to reject it.Call his office, send letters and emails! Do it TODAY! There is no time to lose!When he sees the amount of support that he has, it will be easier for him to resist the pressure put upon him to sign the treaty as soon as possible.Send your EMAILS of support and encouragement to this address:ladislav.jakl@hrad.cz (political department)OBS! I were informed that Jakl is the best person to contact since he is the presidents political advisor considering this topic. OBS!Contact Information for Vaclav Klaus:http://www.hrad.cz/en/contacts/office-of-the-president-of-the-republic.shtmlSo, in summary:1) Write to him via email or letter.2) Send it to Vaclav’s office3) Join the Facebook group and tell us about your letter of support.4) Sign the petition! http://www.petitiononline.com/sptklaus/petition.html5) Invite your friends and network!The plan is to spread this campaign all over Europe via blogs, newspapers and also through different political organisations in Europe, in an effort to create overwhelming support for Vaclav Klaus, and to encourage him not to sign the Lisbon treaty!
