New No 2 Lisbon Billboard Campaign in Galway

category galway | eu | news report author Sunday July 19, 2009 13:10author by Galway Observer

An anonymous group appears to have launched an expensive billboard campaign in Galway against the Lisbon Treaty.

Clearly no expense was spared to capture a highly visible on Galway's coast road to Oranmore.
Every picture tells a story.

It's a subverted Department of Foreign Affairs billboard.

This is the Idea, get out now and paint VOTE NO AGAIN across the Highways and Byways of Ireland, let's get our forces out now, let's get moving, let's take the streets and the doorsteps - you could canvass a whole street in the hour you'd be thinking of doing it !

Let's get the foot-soldiers out now, working people will be on their annual holidays , at home, with no money to go anywhere on holidays thanks to the vicious government cuts agreed by all parties ! They will be in a great mood to listen to us, now is the time, let's beat the parties on the streets , let's beat them to the doorsteps, let's work our asses off 24/7, because it will all be worth it when we Irish once again declare VFE Day - Victory For Europe Day 2009 !

Hi !
A reader of our blog took these two photographs last weekend in O'Connell Street in Dublin - it's a cheap form of protest , but an effective one. Perhaps other 'VOTE NO!' car drivers could copy it ?

Thanks!
Sharon.

Hi Larry!

You're welcome - but I can't really claim the credit , which belongs to the owner of that red '03-D...' car in the photograph .
And it is a good start , Larry - we can't match the 'YES' campaigners with money so we have to be a bit more inventive than them.
Thanks!
Sharon.

Vote 'NO!' to Lisbon Two on Friday October 2nd 2009 !
