[pp.int.general] the belgian pirate party needs your help

[nicolas boucher]

In fact, we will probably have enough signatures. The biggest problem is
that the official paper is not online. And we need to let the world know
about it.

The #hellopaul hashtag was number one in Germany with the help of the
pirates. And lot of people wrote to @Paul_Furlan. But still no answer nor
buzz trough the medias.

We will carry on working hard to get our place on the lists.

Anyway all the tips are welcome!

>> Do other parties have this paper already or it is an administrative delay

>> Spanish government delayed every procedure and paper publishing needed

>> PP-CAT created http://www.yoavalo.org , to raise awareness about this

>>
>> We got between 30.000 & 40.000 volunteers in august! and moreover, it got

>>
>> If your case is simmilar, we can copy you the website skeleton.
>>
>> If it isn't just a PP-BE problem, I'd suggest you to create a joint

>> some advantage of every other party talking about it in media and
>> newspapers :)

>>  Dear Pirates,

>>  Everybody knows Belgium and its famous beers. The country with three

>> Netherlands and Luxemburg. The country that hosts festivals, Francorchamps
>> or the « Concours Reine Elisabeth ». The country of the heart of modern
>> European democracy.
>>
>>  The Pirate Party of this country, my country, needs your help : we want

>> official paper for the signatures. Unfortunately they don't have this
>> paper : they are not in time because they are afraid of us. And
>> unfortunately it's the only paper we are allowed to use. But fortunately we
>> are pirates !
>>
>>  We have to put pressure on the person in charge of that administration.
>> That person is @Paul_Furlan on twitter. We could spam him but it would be
>> too easy. I would prefer a funniest way of a demonstration of our movement:
>> a hashtag ! That's why I propose *#hellopaul *It will show him that we
>> are everywhere. It will show the world that the Pirates are the Pirates.
>>
>>  We are fighting for democracy. We are fighting for freedom. We are
>> fighting to take part to the elections in Belgium. In less than 60 days we
>> have to give hundreds of signatures on an official paper from the belgian
>> administration. So Pirates from all around the world, use your fingers, use
>> your keyboard, and use the *#hellopaul*
>>
>>  Let's be funny, let's be friends. I would like to imagine that *#hellopaul
>> * in the newspapers, in the medias, on television. But I know they will
>> not allow us. So let's do it together all around the world and let's put it
>> as a big smile in front of all the *politicians* let's do it as the
>> hashtag of the day.
>>
>>  And of course, your grandmother goes to toilet it's *#hellopaul* The
>> trains stops it's *#hellopaul* The fish makes a bubble it's to say *
>> #hellopaul* The water is water, the fire is fire. The *#hellopaul* is
>> the *#hellopaul*
>>
>>  We are not anonymous. We are Legion. We are the pirates.
>>
>>  À l'abordaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaage.
