So long, sedition.

by frog

Following a cross – party press conference on Tuesday echoing Law Commission calls to scrap the sedition law, our blogosphere colleague IdiotSavant has asked for people to get active by joining him in writing to Mark Burton. So go forth and letter write….

“Justice Minister Mark Burton responded to the United Future – Green – Maori Party – ACT call for repeal of the sedition law by saying that it was a sign of widespread public support.

Let’s not leave him in any doubt.

I’ve created a pledge on PledgeBank: “I will write to Justice Minister Mark Burton urging the repeal of New Zealand’s sedition laws but only if 20 other New Zealanders will do the same.”

The more people who sign it and write letters, the better. While I’ve set a target of 20 people, this is because its achievable; people can continue to sign up until the deadline is reached in two weeks time. The pledge (and explanatory note) is here: http://www.pledgebank.com/nzsedition
