A video from Ireland, which used to be on the Internet, used to say about itself:
Raquel Garrido, member of the National Council of the French Socialist Party (PS), speaking in Dublin at the launch of ‘No To Lisbon’ campaign – February 7th 2008. Raquel outlines why the French Left, including most rank-and-file Socialist Party members, opposed the 2005 EU Constitution, and explains how the values currently driving EU integration are undermining the possibility of building a ‘Social Europe’, a process that the Lisbon Treaty will reinforce not reverse. She urges Irish people to vote NO in the coming referendum, not least as an act of solidarity with the millions of fellow Europeans who have been denied the right to vote on this Treaty.
Sinn Féin Vice President Mary Lou McDonald today launched her party’s No to Lisbon Campaign in Dublin.

The Euro has value, no matter how you look at it…at least more than the US dollar for now
Hi magmay, the Lisbon treaty is not about the Euro. It is about the European Union, not all EU members are in the Euro zone. The Euro is worth more than the US dollar as, eg, most European governments did not spend as much on the Iraq war as the Bush administration did.
I had a comment on my blog from a UK political anorak and buddy that he was not aware of the referendum! Publicity throughout the UK is essential to garner support.
