Maybe the US & other nations should try Swiss style direct democracy?
The Swiss just voted to ban minarets on mosques and this is a great exercise of their unique form of direct democracy regardless of your views on the subject. But my question is why do the Swiss get to overrule their politicians and parliament and here in the US, we don’t have that right?
Let’s bring Swiss style direct democracy to the United States so Americans can vote on the Wall Street bailouts, government health care, whether to audit or abolish the FED, or require Congress declare war before we invade another country. Read why Switzerland is free and America is not and help restore citizen control over the US government and Congress currently under control of special interests. http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/holland9.1.1.html
If this vote holds up, as exit polling here in the states is
often way off, it is a huge victory and a global slap
at Islam that is badly needed. One spark can start a fire.
Perhaps it is Switzerland’s turn to light the way.
The guy in the article is quite right – if there’s a “backlash” (whatever that really means) in the Muslim world then it shows that what they’re doing to defend themselves is spot on.
