Yes.

Leaving in disregard of the rules was just chosen as an example of an act that disregards the federal rules. It is such a final act, which makes it a good example. Any act that should land the local executive in federal prison would work as example of where the real sovereignty resides.

A vote for PES is a vote for EPP! A vote for EPP is a vote for PES! Support the coalition, vote EPP-PES in 2009!
