We are coordinating a nationwide tour by Hordur Torfason - an Icelandic 
activist who initiated the recent 'cutlery revolution' in that country: 
  This resulted in:

1.           Resignation of the whole government.

2.           Nationalization of the bank.

3.           Referendum so that the people can make economic decisions.

4.           Incarcerating the responsible parties.

5.           Rewriting of the constitution by its people via Twitter and 
Facebook etc

All of this was accomplished *Peacefully.*

Interestingly the Icelandic economy is now doing well and the IMF and 
other heavyweight economists agree that Iceland did the right thing

Hordur Torfason is currently lecturing on meta modern democracy in 
Europe.  The time is right for New Zealanders to hear what he has to say.

He will be visiting here in March 2013 and we are raising funds for this 
in the most democratic way – through www.PledgeMe.co.nz/691 
 People give their credit card details 
and /only if /we reach our target, the funds are deducted.  This way, 
all New Zealanders can see this inspiring man talk for free.   Please 
help us spread the word. Further information can be found at

Many thanks.

Kind regards,
