Sunnis Push Campaign Against Constitution

[NVMojo]

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) -

Sunni Arab activists are going door to door to supporters' homes and using mosque imams in a final drive to persuade the minority community to go to the polls on Saturday and vote against the Iraqi constitution.

The stepped-up campaign against the draft document comes as leaders of the Sunni Arab community are in the thick of last-minute talks with Shiite and Kurdish leaders to reach a compromise on the divisive charter.

Sunni-led insurgents are warning Sunnis not to vote at all, backing their calls with threats and violence. Iraq's Sunni Arabs - about 20 percent of Iraq's estimated 26 million people - boycotted last January's historic general election, but this time only insurgent groups are calling on voters to stay away from the polls.

1. This "constitution" and this coming vote are BULLSHIT.

IRAQIS HAVE NOT EVEN SEEN THE CONSTITUTION THEY'RE TO VOTE ON.

Gee what "PROGRESS"!

RAH RAH RAH!

It's expected to pass, because the VIOLENCE will keep Iraqis away from the voting booths.

Gee what "PROGRESS"!

RAH RAH RAH!

3. It isn't just Sunnis against it; moderate Shia are as well.

This "constitution" as a piece of total absolute CRAP. It's so full of contradictions, it takes away women's rights, it makes Sharia the law, it divides Iraq artificially...it'll spark a full-blown war.
