I believe the situation there is far more complex than is being generally reported.You might want to do some additional research before jumping to a conclusion which fits your narrative.

But my question is why do the Swiss get to overrule their politicians and parliament and here in the US, we don’t have that right? <br /><br />Let’s bring Swiss style direct democracy to the United States so Americans can vote on the Wall Street bailouts, government health care, whether to audit or abolish the FED, or require Congress declare war before we invade another country. Read why Switzerland is free and America is not and help restore citizen control over the US government and Congress currently under control of special interests. http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig/holland9.1.1.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
