One million for disability
- 24 Jan 07, 4:47 PM
There's a new campaign just starting up, which aims to collect 1,000,000 EU citizens' signatures to combat discrimination in all aspects of the lives of disabled people in Europe. And it's called .
Why 1 million - apart from it being a nice, big, round figure, of course? Well, in the draft European Union Constitutional Treaty, it's stated that the EU must respond to the call of at least 1 million citizens.
The campaign started yesterday and runs until 3 October 2007. The day after, the signatures will be officially handed over to the European Commission and Parliament.
So go and now, and tell them that the good folks at Ouch sent you.

It's certainly for a good cause and I have signed it.
One thing though, it quotes the draft European Union Constitutional Treaty. I wonder if the word draft means that that it can be ignored?
Consider it signed and hopefully sealed and delivered! ;-)
not only signed but forwarded to work to send out for support with the campaign
