Description:
"(1) The draft constitution, which will be put forward to vote in the upcoming referendum, was not
written by the elected Peoples' Representatives.
(2) It was written unilaterally by the people who were selected by the State Peace and Development
Council (SPDC).
(3) Furthermore, it is not in line with the fundamental principle of democracy that ?State sovereign
power should ascend from the people” and therefore, it will not guarantee democracy and human
rights, which the entire people of Burma are enthusiastically wishing for.
(4) The history of our country and of the world proves that no organization that governs the country
will last long and be stable without the support of the people.
(5) Therefore, we urge the people from all walks of life, ethnic nationalities and organizations to go to
the polling stations without fail and to decisively cast a NO? vote..."
