Next Friday July 13 will be held the National Day to collect signatures for the referendum . It is an excellent opportunity for all persons, institutions, organizations, etc., Which are interested in being part of this initiative, but have not yet been connected, involved in the collection. To get the forms to collect signatures can communicate through of our emails ( agua@censat.org referendoporelagua@yahoogroups.com ) and we will send them the forms. Here it is worth noting that the forms can reproduce (photocopy) on both sides and use the copies without any problem.
Although it has made significant progress in collecting signatures, there is still much to accomplish the first stage of the referendum bill, that is, with the first 200,000 signatures to present to the Registrar, and through which we given the new forms for collection of 1'500 .000 new firms that will assist the Congress Republic, once it delivered the text of constitutional reform is approved by the parliamentary body, to call the popular vote, which will be necessary to gain an approximate amount of 7'000 .000 of votes in favor of water.
As noted, the process is quite complex and the number of signatures to be carried to a successful conclusion is quite broad, however, although this is a very important issue, one should not forget that the collection strategy signatures must be accompanied by a pedagogical and communicative tools that achieve public awareness in Colombia and qualified for the protection of water against any threat of privatization and mecantilización. In this regard, we believe it is necessary to move towards the creation and consolidation of such tools, thereby ensuring that the protection of water takes place in a comprehensive manner, and that the referendum would constitute one of the bastions in the struggle for the water, but not unique.
invite all individuals, organizations, institutions, groups, etc., To join the day of Friday 13 July, we take a moment of our time to communicate with others in our city, county, etc., and through raising awareness of the problems collecting signatures to be of great importance to this initiative.
