        RADAR PROTEST SPREADS TO ALL OF EUROPE

        Sign the petition against a new Star Wars base in Czech Republic

The implementation of this project is increasing international tensions, generating a new arms race and is the first step towards the militarization and control of space. Since more than two thirds of the Czech population are against this project, I think it is only fair that the Czech people have the right to decide on such an important question by means of a referendum."
