Still imagining

Imagine if each of us could stop judging other people, people we do not know, because of their faith, skin color, eating habits, sexual orientation, gender, hairstyle, clothing, medical expenses or interests. 

Imagine if each of us would dare to let everyone make their own choices and with these choices seek his/hers own happiness and contribution to society.

Imagine if each of us would dare to release our fellow humans from the shackles of our prejudices.

Imagine if each of us could find our inner courage and dare to be oneself amongst friends and family.  

Imagine if each of us could reject our private arbitrariness from the throne that rests heavily on the shoulders of all of us.

European democracy isn't ours to give away

Europe's democracy isn't ours to give away, it belongs to our children and grandchildren. We just borrowed it from those who fought, died and won the democracy that we all lean on.

They gave democracy to us so that we could build on it and make it better and stronger for every generation. This democracy have been challenged many times but never as much as right now, before the European elections and comming member-state elections.

How do we handle this?

I want to see a broad coalition on EU level and on national level against all totalitarianism, rasism and division. At the same time all of us who sees the threat must reach out to those who don't and show the strength of democracy in action. We must use all democratic weapons we have to fight the undemocratic forces back.

Get12vote

Imagine if everyone who woted in the European elections in 2009 could convince just one person who didn't to vote in this year's election the turnout would break the roof.

Does it sound like a crazy idea? Maybe, but imagine how the idea of European elections would of sounded in 1950. You get the point!

EP2014 will probably have a impact and consequences far beyond the mandate of the European parliament. So if we can make this happen I'm certain that the impact and consequenc will be positive for the voters and therefore for Europe.

Let's show the world that Europeans care about democracy and that European values are worth saving.
