Europeans Organize to Say "NO" to European Constitution

From the Times Online:

OPPONENTS of the European constitution across the continent are joining forces to begin a pan-European No campaign, marking the occasion with a letter in The Times and other European newspapers.

The European No Campaign, bankrolled by British businesses, is run by a German, Thomas Rupp, from the heart of Europe’s financial centre, the City of London. His office overlooking the Monument to the fire of London, is shared with Britain’s Vote No campaign, the best funded and most organised in Europe.

The letter from the European No Campaign director and his colleagues is here.

Good for them! The proposed European Constitution is a recipe for disaster. It would create a central government that in many ways is stronger and less accountable than the post-New Deal federal government here in the U.S. The inevitable conflicts that would arise as the sovereignty of European nation-states is surrendered to the European Union would serve the interests of neither Europe nor of the United States. We can only hope that U.S. foreign policy will soon be tailored to more firmly express our concerns over this horrible proposal.
