Please reject the treaty, Ireland! Please, please please! They need this treaty to move ahead with their Big Brother / authoritarian plans for the EU.

Just say NO!!

The Lisbon Treaty, currently stalled after Ireland's referendum rejection last year, creates a secretive new Standing Committee for Internal Security, known as COSI, to co-ordinate policy between national forces and EU organisations such as Europol, the Frontex borders agency, the European Gendarmerie Force and the Brussels intelligence sharing Joint Situation Centre or Sitcen.

EU officials have told The Daily Telegraph that the radical plans will be controversial and will need powers contained within the Lisbon Treaty, currently awaiting a second Irish vote this autumn.

The Irish economy is in such a dire state...it needs all the help it can get. VOTE YES!

Everyone's economy is in dire straits, pretty much. Money ain't everything (except for in the US perhaps) and certainly not at that price and this treaty isn't about trade, it's about "security". It's about "streamlining EU decision making" as they so diplomatically put it.

Since the treaty is being changed...or at least changed so one nation gets some extra guarantees...the calls for all nations to now reconsider it would seem to have some validity.

This might be a good time, too, for other nations in the EU to push for the same requirement the Irish apparently have: New EU treaties must be approved by a public referendum.
