You need only one thing: the financial referendum.

And a public bank in which public capital is owned in equal shared of a mutual fund owning it as a whole and which cannot be sold or ceded or pledged or whatever to private banks.

Central banks got to be abolished.

Edwin Sakala, Direct Democracy first needs to starts at the community level, for all of what l put below most important think you need it people with the knowledge to pass this on to the people,

To Have a Successful Nation You Need:
Key Productive powers of a nation are
1/ Strong Agriculture Sector
2/ Strong Mining Sector
3/ Strong Manufacturing Sector
4/ Government provide good infrastructure
5/ With a good supporting service sector

Ensure that the Central Bank is the major emitter of new money and that such emissions are only for productive purposes – infrastructure, health, education, financing manufacturing and primary industries

By allowing the nation’s Central Bank to trade in competition with the Trading Banks and by ensuring that the Central Bank is under the direct control of the Parliament.

RE: OPEN REQUEST FOR FINANCIAL, MATERIAL AND MORAL SUPPORT

We are requesting for assistance as above mentioned.

Introduction

ZDDM is a well established and duly registered movement in Zambia which has been advocating for Direct Democracy for the past six years.

Our Demanding Current Political Situation

The political atmosphere is getting more and more demanding for ways of avoiding internal conflicts in the foreseeable future. The Zambian political situation is currently embroiled in a circus due to the decision made close to two decades ago to shift from a one party Participatory democracy to the failing Multi-party mode.
The shift is giving rise to mushrooming political parties which have replicated or similar manifestoes.. But national politics are characterized with bickering, insults and even propaganda as each and every political party tries to win support from citizens.

Of our prime concern is that these parties are led by recycled former leaders who amassed wealth in respective national governments and with support of other foreign governments. Ordinary citizens have been reduced into paupers and mere spectators in as far as the political, social and economic direction the country is taking.

The political situation currently is worsened by the diverted national agenda which has been drifted away from addressing the basic social economic welfare and concerns of the people to the issues connected satisfying the interests of a few rich men amidst continued quarrels..

We are also concerned that support to political parties from countries like China has seen an influx of Chinese people coming to own large hectors of land at the displacement of indigenous local people.. The Chinese also are involved in doing jobs which the local people are qualified to do.

By coming out like this over the Chinese people, we are not saying that we hate them. But like most Africans, Zambians  have more in common with Europe and other western countries than China whose culture and way of life is a bit strange and not like that of our long term and traditional friends who value human life.

The bickering and political tension in Zambia is a source of great worry to us ZDDM and many citizens as it has torn apart the once united Zambians. The advocacy of ZDDM therefore is believed to have come as a source of relief to many citizens who are tired of the political current quarrels which are not adding economic value to the people.

Our request

Due to lack of capacity to effectively carry the message about Direct Democracy across, we are requesting to: you and through you to all those who care for the future of direct democracy in the world and Zambia in particular to help us whether financially, materially or technically and any other means to strengthen our campaign for the immediate creation for a Government of National Unity in Zambia.
We foresee a situation where the country is being led into self destruction due to not only fragile local political situation, but also attributed to foreign forces which are influencing unhealthy political events in the country. The future of the once haven of peace and land of Milk and Honey is under severe threat and stress.


We are saddened that Zambia which was rated among the four richest countries on the African continent around 1974 is now dramatically ranking amongst the poorest in the world at large and further rated as one of the poorest in the Southern Africa Development Community-SADC with among the highest death rate.
The majority citizenry have been dehumanized and engulfed in untold poverty, unemployment and disease like HIV/AIDS while those in leadership through political parties spend much of the time on bickering and throwing unpalatable language.

It is critical to note that Zambia is a constitutional multi-party democratic country but there are more basic essentials expectations by the general public which have not been experienced yet.

Lastly and not least is that we are requesting for support not only because we want to popularize the Direct Democracy idea across to the grassroots, but that we also want to have a formidable stamina for participating in all national elections including the coming 2011 tripartite elections.

Your consideration to our request will greatly be appreciated.
