We anti-EU campaigners are often accused of not having thought through the full implications and complexities of what’s required to Get Britain Out of the EU. “Ah!”, exclaim the Europhiles, “you want us to leave the EU … but how? What will we do then?”. We all know the answer, of course, but a fortnight ago a competition was launched to answer that question with the level of intellectual and academic rigour that will be essential for any In/Out referendum campaign.

Take Action This Week
Your efforts have been making an impact! The Senate amnesty bill has yet to make its way to the House. However, we are hearing that there might be a plan in the works for the House to come up with their own version of the Senate bill to force the two bodies into a conference over the bill. We cannot let this happen because then the fate of amnesty will be left to Senators hand-picked by Harry Reid and Representatives hand-picked by John Boehner. This week we need an additional 1,000 people to make direct contact with Speaker John Boehner, Kevin McCarthy, Pete Sessions, and Paul Ryan. Ryan appears to be taking the same misguided course that Marco Rubio took and we need to do everything we can to let these “leaders” in the House know that this is not what the majority of Americans want. Will you pledge to be one of the 1,000 points of contact? Click to get started today!
