The 32 County Sovereignty Movement are campaigning for a NO vote in theupcoming referendum on the Lisbon Treaty,

As Irish republican separatists the 32CSM deem it imperative that the issues of Irish National Sovereignty and Partition be at the forefront of republican objections to the proposed EU Constitution. Equally we deem it imperative that the broad Irish Republican and Socialist constituency should articulate our objections around an agreed set of points specifically dealing with the British occupation of our country. We do not see these objections as in any way inhibative on any other objections that the proposed EU Constitution may warrant. The 32CSM has initiated contact with other republican and socialist groupings inviting them to collaborate on an agreed approach in securing a 'NO' vote against the EU Constitution. We have drafted six points of objection as a discussion leader and have included them in our contact letters. These points are intended to provoke ideas amongst the republican socialist constituency with a view to securing a definitive final draft upon which an agreed 'NO' campaign can be launched.

Whether it is called the Lisbon Treaty, Reform Treaty or whatever terminology is invoked the political intent behind it remains the same. The Treaty needs to be debated politically as much as it needs attention to its technical details

Neither did the IRSP or eirigi. Perhaps the 32csm , like with their unity project, should keep it with those who maintain Republican positions rather than those who just say they are Republican.

PSF's objection to the proposed EU constitution was not based on partition and the denial of Irish National Sovereignty.

Objections on the basis on the republican position

I think the initiative was to get an agreed republican separatist position on the constitution primarily. While everyone can agree with the objections of the CAEUC, perhaps not all involved in that campaign would agree with the objections based on a republican separatist analysis. There is no reason why both initiatives cannot co exist.

Another broad campaign?

Why not just affiliate to the CAEUC? It seems to have already begun the kind of work referred to here.
