EQUITY FORUM POSTING

Recently posted this reply to an Equity Member who regularly write on the Equity Forum and is campaigning for an "Approval" vote in the current rule change referendum:

Dear ----- Believe it or not I agree with you....but I come to a different solution. Equity MUST treat everyone equally and fairly...and I believe that this cannot be achieved by putting in place restrictions which may be considered to favour one group of members as distinct from another. History and more recent social experiences have shown this approach does not work. What does work is to ensure that positive focused campaigning to raise awareness on the equality of rights for everyone whatever their social, ethnic, religious, other beliefs or attributes and OUR (Equity's) BELIEF AND DETERMINATION that these rights should be fostered, maintained and preserved for everyone, all our members, equally and fairly without fear or favour. This is why I am voting DISAPPROVE and urge other members to vote DISAPPROVE as well.
