Sinn Féin – The People’s Voice

MANY people have despaired of the antics of the antics of the Fianna Fáil/Green Party Coalition but many of them - and many more - are looking for an alternative to that and from the tired old formula of Fine Gael/Labour who will manage Fianna Fáil cuts.

Many people are looking for change.

If you want change now is the time to make a stand.

People need to get involved in the campaign.

Every vote will be needed to put this Government and to elect a real alternative.

In the Dáil, on the streets and in our communities, Sinn Féin is that voice for change - The People’s Voice.

Sinn Féin has stood up to this Government. Every Sinn Féin TD elected will mean a stronger voice for ordinary people.

Sinn Féin is the ONLY party to have insisted on burning the bondholders - let them pay for their gambling, don’t force the public to foot the bill.

Sinn Féin is the ONLY party to fight the harshest Budget this generation has seen.

Sinn Féin is the ONLY party to have produced a costed, worked-out Budget alternative that is progressive.

Sinn Féin is the ONLY party that has stood four-square against the Finance Bill that enshrines that Budget in law.

Sinn Féin is the ONLY party that has told the Fianna Fáil Finance Minister that it will not help him to slide the Finance Bill past the people for party political gain - for the party political benefit of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael or Labour.

Sinn Féin voices are the ONLY voices speaking up for those people on lower and middle incomes who are being squeezed by the likes of the Finance Bill and the IMF/EU sell-out to pay for the gambles of the bankers and speculators.

Sinn Féin is the ONLY real opposition to the ‘Consensus for Cuts’.

Sinn Féin has a plan, we have a message and - as we have shown in the Six Counties with Sinn Féin becoming the leading nationalist.

We need to get that message out there to more people.

‘There is a Better Way.’
