Luthori Workers' Committe leader calls for "National Day of Action"17th June 4357Following the rejection of its Just Society legislation, Luthori Workers' Committee General Secretary Jon Healey has called for a "National Day of Action" from Luthori citizens to pressure the government into reforming civil liberties legislation.
The last election has shown there is a big desire for change out there. The Luthori Workers' Committe were threatened with proscription prior to the last election for demanding change. Banned from standing for election because we think that Luthori belongs to the people of Luthori and not to elites. We saw a concerted effort by the powerful to silence debate and what happened, seven million people defied them and voted for change. We don't want draconian anti free speech laws and we don't want armed police patrolling our streets. What we need is a national day of action to peacefully show how strongly the people of this country want reform.

We both know that if I, or any of the millions of like-minded citizens out there, expressed what I really feel about our Head of State and the direction of this country I would be arrested. Is that the relationship the Governor-General wants with the people of Luthori? One of suppression and resentment?
Healey is a fierce opponent of the controversial 'Constitutional Safety Act 4351' which prohibits support for a Republic or Republicanism in Luthori.
Formed 12 month prior to the last election, the Luthori Workers' Committee received 12% of the vote nationally at the 4356 election. Voting varied wildly between regions however, with candidates receiving 28% (3.5 million) of the votes in Utagia, but a paltry 0.08% (9,292 votes) in Geharon. Committee members have previously suggested voter suppression may explain these variations in support.
