Should Ireland become the 51st State of America?

press release
 Monday November 22, 2004 00:20 by Harry Rea - The National Men's Council of Ireland hrea at eircom dot net
In the light of recent events the National Men's Council of Ireland find themselves forced to ask if anyone knows how Ireland can apply to become the 51st State of America?
We are not joking. Please let us know ASAP. We are forced to ask this because our Taoiseach, Mr Ahern,
1. Has recently stated that he is a socialist, although he was elected on a Republican platform,
2. Has prevented the people from voting for their President,
3. Has recommended changing the law to allow homosexual marriage even though he has sworn an Oath, as Prime Minister, to support our Constitution, which pledges the state to "guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack."
4. Has signed Ireland up to an EU Constitution which seriously curtails the freedoms and rights of the Irish people without first securing a mandate from them.
We sincerely ask, "Do the Irish people want to get even more embroiled, by the hand of a socialist Taoiseach who appears to care little for the Family founded on Marriage and our Constitution, into an EU super-state that also has scant sense of democracy or morality? A super-state that refuses to recognise the natural law of the Married Family and God. That says to Christians and especially to Catholics that because of their faith they are not to be allowed a place in decision-making?
If the people choose to reject Christianity, morality and democracy that is up to them. They are the sovereign power and only they can decide.
If on the other hand, as is the situation at the moment where they can't choose Christianity, morality and democracy AND stay in the EU super-state they must be given an alternative.
Irish people have far closer ties - through family as well as economic, cultural and spiritual - with America than with most EU countries.
We say - let the Irish people decide.

National Men's Council of Ireland,
