PowerToThePeople.org.uk, an independant website designed to empower you to hold those in power to account is being launched during the ESF this weekend. Focusing primarily with MP Accountability, it also deals with Corporations and the Corporate Media.

Whether it be the seemingly uncontrollable power of the corporation via globalisation or the neo-colonialist misadventures of the US and it's British junior partner despite massive protest, you could be forgiven for thinking you are powerless and that those in power are far removed from you. This is not the case. Although Blair may feel beyond your reach or Monsanto's Board on a different planet. Your Blairite sycophant of an MP or your local supermarket selling GM food are not.

PowerToThePeople.org.uk will show you how to use what power you do have. How to find out what your MP is supposedly doing in your name and as a constituent, how you can hold them to account. Remember, in Parliament they work for you, not ExxonMobil or Rupet Murdock. PowerToThePeople.org.uk will show you how to utilise your power as a consumer against the corporations and finally how to find out what is really going on in the world, neutralising the incessant propaganda and Orwellian 'newspeak' that masquerades as news in the mainstream media.

A world in which governments make decisions favouring the interests of big business, Rupert Murdock has more power than Blair and corporations set the political agenda, is a repressive and undemocratic one. We must Hold 'Em To Account!!
Holding your MP to Account, in addition to Corporate and Media Power is possible, we are not powerless, despite their best efforts.

Reclaim Democracy and Hold 'Em To Account! Power to the People!!!

Call to Activists: Please help get the ball rolling by researching and naming & shaming your MP. With the General Election looming it could have a real impact. Follow:  http://www.powertothepeople.org.uk/gov_how_to.htm Thanks
