DPP pushes party assets referendum

This should more or less destroy any chance of the KMT trading something to pass the arms bill.

The DPP began collecting signatures at the Chiayi train station today in its effort to get a referendum on the KMT party assets going for the next election. Even a TSU city councilor in Chiayi came to sign when he heard about the news. Expect to hear complaints on the evening news about this from the KMT. They will go something to the effect of "the DPP just wants to kill off the KMT, they're stirring ethnic hatred and they're too corrupt that bringing this up is shameless. Besides, the KMT is already taking care of this!"

If you're a legal Taiwanese voter who wants to sign the petition, go to this site. I also strongly recommend viewing the facts at this site and, just for laughs, the KMT's position.

公投討黨產 蔡同榮發起連署 (民視)

民進黨代理主席蔡同榮，今天在嘉義人來人往的火車站，發起追討國民黨黨產的公投連署，民眾熱情響應，還有人一口氣拿了一大疊，要回家給親朋好友一起簽名連署。大聲公加上現場工作人員的說明，讓這個小小的連署站，人潮沒停過。不只是火車站裡人來人往的旅客坐下來簽名，還有人聽到消息，騎車來要連署單。就連同屬綠營的台聯市議員也前來參予連署表達支持。而這個連署的最終目的，是要在七月底前達到一百萬人連署的目標。這個星期假日只是個開始，民眾的熱情反應也讓蔡同榮有信心，讓公投討國民黨黨產的議題，持續在各地發酵。
