The url is: http://english.ohmynews.com/articleview/ article_view.asp?article_class=3&no=229076&rel_no=1
Here's an excerpt: "By voting "no" on a referendum to approve the EU constitution, French voters have created what has been called "a political earthquake forEurope." (1) The "no" voters won with 54.87 percent of the vote, the "yes" vote, received only 45.13 percent. Thus the "no" voters won with almost a
10 percent lead. Almost 70 percent of the French citizenry voted in the referendum. Celebrating on Sunday night at a party at the Place de la Bastille, the site of the start of the French Revolution, "no" votersexpressed their desire that their vote be the start of a social Europe, a
citizen's Europe.,,," Best wishes Ronda ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
