The December 1 will be celebrated around the world for the World Day to Combat ' AIDS. If
in Italy people who came into contact with the HIV virus are about 120,000 (25,000 with full-blown AIDS) with 327 deaths ( Ministry of Health, 2005 ), in the rest of the world people are suffering about 33 million, with approximately 2.5 million new cases in 2007 and 2.2 million deaths-about 6,000 a day-( WHO, 2007 ).
In Africa, AIDS and 'THE FIRST CAUSE OF DEATH (see map ).

Please note that there is currently no vaccine nor a cure. There
antiretroviral therapy allow to delay the progression of the infection and allow a better and longer life.
These drugs are very expensive, however, because it is protected by copyright by pharmaceutical companies.
In some countries (India, Africa) have been made attempts (successful) to manufacture such drugs without authorization.
The results?
1. The same drugs cost a few cents (against the official price of the product of hundreds of dollars with the "mark");
2. Pharmaceutical companies have filed lawsuits worth millions to these small firms.

And then?
Currently, most infected people (especially African) can not afford the treatment with drugs produced by Western companies, and are thus condemned to a quick death.
The only alternative is, together with pressure on governments to liberalize Copyright by the life-saving medicines, the use of condoms.
The condom is currently (along with abstinence and faithfulness to some) is the only defense that can block HIV infection.
But also that Africa has in the price equivalent to a plate of rice served cooked and seasoned.

My Italy

leading Democratic People

Manifesto

Italian citizens We are aware that our contemporary culture is the fruit of the Catholic tradition, democratic, secular, liberal and reformist in the twentieth century has united a divided people for centuries and occupied by foreign powers, after the epic Risorgimento 800 and two world wars, which sees its synthesis in the solidarity principle.

proudly claim all our past of shadows and lights, and civil rights struggles of emigration and immigration, are grateful to the generations that have made our nation the protagonist in the arts, culture and science ..

proudly assert our European vocation, which has seen Italy, the intellectual and political lead in building the European Union. We note, concerned about the current decay of our beloved country. We feel guilty for this situation an old system of doing politics, short-sighted to the real problems of this country, concentrated and tense struggles to maintain positions of power over the common good and away from the electoral law that generates the most basic democratic principles for choosing us as citizens to elect our representatives.

We citizens are aware of all this, tired of trying to revive the existing parties and we believe in an Italy star of itself, we turn to other people like us who want to commit to a true cultural renaissance and political innovate and to renew the policy by creating our own Italy.

We want an Italy protagonist in the arts, culture, science, enterprise, solidarity. We we want an Italy player in Europe and worldwide. We want an Italy protagonist in a participatory democracy, where the Italian people, such as our constitution, is sovereign. We want the law to open primary to choose candidates in every type and degree of choice.

Italy protagonist To achieve that we want to set up in a political movement striving to create a modern participatory democracy based on solidarity, by defending the present constitution and the unity nazionale.Quello we believe and we want is:
1. the real participation of citizens in choosing their representatives, so that open primaries are citizens to nominate and select candidates;

2. the proper conduct of office by elected representatives to conform to an ethical code of conduct, code that now exists for almost all professions but not for the political

3. the true figure of the "my chosen," confidentially and direct contact between principal and representative to be carried out either through the website constantly updated to fit the activity weekly by the elected part of its charge, either through specific commitment to listen to their constituents personally or answering their phone calls at certain times;

4. separation between banks and enterprises;

5. pay fair taxes, net of all expenses;

6. invest in young people, schools, universities and research

7. invest in solidarity

8. security, justice quickly and effectively, certainty of punishment for those who make mistakes;

9. professionalism and on entering the world of work and career progression;

10. a real commitment of all to the environmental sustainability of any behavior, action, action to solidarity over time, for those who come after us and in space, for those who are deprived from the natural resources from energy-hungry Western consumerist policies;

We appeal to all the Italian feels that his own country, wants protagonist, democratic and popular.

Primary fake and real ... by law

continue to collect signatures for the Law of Popular Initiative

Primary fake and real ... by law

Through the open primary we have a participatory democracy.

Friday, October 12, 2007 by Umberto Calabrese

October 14 will be many voters of the rising Democratic Party, to participate in the Primary to confirm your top choices, but as far as can be critical and dissaccordo choices and methods, advanced, Sunday will be a great act of popular participation and democratic, a great all-Italian democratic party.

belong to that school of thought formed around the thought and action of Frederic Ozanam, and what is called Catholic or Christian Democratic democratic

I experienced through volunteering Catholic the importance of sharing and participation. I played in a long time ago, in popular and democratic parties, in which everyone, even I, could one day aspire to be the "Secretary", the "leader".

I was taught, and learned through the example of many, of my party, but also of the historical parties that the policy was sacrifice, commitment, research, problem detection, and resolution of the same study, through political action. Where a comma in a document was a matter of debate, discussion of participation.

where everything was discussed in the territories, in factories, in the sections.

Where was the candidate for an election if it was real expression of the territory.

Here, as a citizen, this is my Italy, Italy I want, made by a political class that is not afraid of the people, even looking for them, confronts them, you choose, for their experience, competence, professionalism and not least for his honesty.

dream This is Italy, an Italy star of his own destiny, with the pride of its past.

why I believe that one of the necessary reforms and the introduction of the open primary law. Why are the citizens to choose who to put on the list, before being elected.

Because only when the power comes back to us to choose the Italian people, we can regain popular and democratic parties and parties that do not bear the name of its owner. Where, by statute, the "secretary" or "president" until they resign ..... those in the country where no one has resigned.

Where the lists are not determined by party leaders, but by citizens. Only then will be a participatory democracy, where all the secret of the urn, as well as that the Constitution, will choose its candidate.

Why in this upcoming primary, and primary, the emerging Democratic Party, its voters must publicly declare their vote, in apparent contrast with the secrecy of the vote, sought by the present Constitution. How could that happen

voters to vote for a candidate of a center pole ..... because the other primary elections would be the same time.

All this if we had the open primary law, is not the case.

On the open primary, Mr. Beppe Grillo, still waiting for your response, candidates that they want to choose the public through the open primary or label you with a lot of quality?

Look again his answer.
