Scotland—A Proud Nation?? Hail Caledonia

A YES FOR “TOTAL” INDEPENDENCE

I turn to all my good friends in the hope that you will approve of my following humble suggestions in order that we can implement them together. I have already placed on record my complete disapproval of the concept of the question, referred to as DEMO-MAX,as an alternative to a straight YES OR NO; as proposed for the coming referendum. What we need is a mechanism to combat the negativity of Union-minded Scots accepting the “COMPROMISE” of a commitment to the second question. We on this side of the debate realize we still have a mountain to climb, however thanks to recent events; the once mountain obstacle was of Everest proportions they have now been reduced to something like Ben Nevis dimensions. My recommendation would be to adopt the following scheme:-

At the Election in May the S.N.P.amassed a staggering figure of almost half a million votes, if we extrapolate a rough figure of 50% as contributors to facebook;this would represent a theory of a quarter of a million people willing to vote yes for “TOTAL INDEPENDENCE”. The problem at the moment is that through an attitude of complacency combined with apathy, they seem unwilling to commit in a positive way. The parameters of my “CAUSE” are designed to provide the criteria for stirring them from this latent form of inactivity. Whilst appreciating that there are extant causes on behalf of Independence, my sole objective in this scheme is a cause which will reflect a “YES VOTE IN THE REFERENDUM”. The resultant hoped for massive response to the above quoted scenario, is designed to demonstrate to the opposition the strength of the movement in respect of “TOTAL INDEPENDENCE!”.I received a boost to the concept of what I have discussed, An article published in Newsnet Scotland 02/12/11 written by Hazel Lewry (Highly recommended read),my attention was drawn to one of the comments by Stevie Cosmic in which he stated that one of the best weapons we have in our armoury (Not a BAZOOKA quote D.Cameron) is “social networking”

I would now “WITH PLEASURE” mentions all of Scotland’s International friends. Scotland as a result of its history occupies a unique place in the World Community, with “MILLIONS” proudly claiming links to Scottish Heritage. To enhance the “YES VOTE”I would feel that a revival of a suggestion I have proposed on past occasions would be in order. There is a “LONG “list of Scottish organizations on the web, St.Adrews Societies etc. I. would urge direct contact with them to harness the potential of the yes vote that will probably accrue from these bodies.

In summation, it is an imperative that in order to fulfil the aspiration of the principle behind this recommendation “WORD OF MOUTH” is vitally important; it will be up to all of us to act as purveyors of the details of the “CAUSE” to our friends and colleagues. The format is quite basic in its simplicity; the subscribers need only click the like button to record their endorsement. Comments could be optional.

VERY SINCERELY, DAVID
