How do want the world to be? (Rap)
Let's write the next chapter of history.
Become our own world leaders
Our own global authority, by signing up to Simpol for free!
So what is your policy? X3
Governments issue interest free money internationally?
To finance existing CO2 neutral technology?
Job creation re-mechanisation of the global industry?
To save us all from impending climate change catastrophe
And civilization break down, lack of energy security.
Don't demand it, make it happen via the Simpol Voting Strategy!
Simpol is global co-operation for peace, justice sustainability and prosperity.
Chorus
Sing-along "Let's Work Together"
Together we stand, Divided we fall, Come on now people and let's get on the ball and
work together, Come on come on let's work together, Because together we will stand,
every boy, girl, woman and man."

Avoiding financial and climate meltdown
Here's an alert I sent out about the new policy supplement:
Ideas to change the world – Policy supplement to It’s Simpol ! Autumn 2008
Annual voting is currently taking place on policy suggestions put forward by Simultaneous Policy Adopters for inclusion in the Simultaneous Policy. Voting runs until 1 November 2008.
Space is given in the newsletter to the most popular policies and issues. If you have not already voted, you can do so at:
http://www.simpol.org/en/main/Policyvote08.htm
The latest policy supplement has the theme: “Avoiding financial and climate meltdown.” You can download it by clicking the following link, or pasting it in your internet browser:
http://www.simpol.org.uk/Pages/PDF/policyautumn161008.pdf
For all newsletters go to Simpol’s website and click on ‘campaigns’ and ‘newsletters’ at:
http://www.simpol.org.uk/
Stopping financial meltdown
The policy supplement includes an article from Susan George on the International Clearing Union, first developed by Professor John Maynard Keynes and proposed for inclusion in the Simultaneous Policy by Adopter David Smith. The proposal received 63% approval in the last voting round. Susan George said regarding its inclusion in the Simultaneous Policy that this is: “*one* base from which we can work to make new rules for international commerce.”
Stopping climate meltdown
The top issue in the last round of voting was climate change. Proposed policies such as ‘Contraction and Convergence’ (which received 80% approval) address this directly. Others may have an indirect impact, such as those dealing with disarmament (see the Spring 2008 policy supplement, which has the theme: “Turning Weapons into Windmills”).
A guest article from the ‘One Hundred Months’ campaign is included in the latest policy supplement. This campaign has been launched by a coalition of campaigning organisations and suggests that there are just 100 months (well, now 97 months) to act before the climate tips into cycles that will be far harder to tackle. The article contains various proposals that may be of interest to Adopters to flesh out the action to be included in the Simultaneous Policy.
Joined-up thinking
The great strength of the Simultaneous Policy approach is that it seeks to be a coherent package of policies where action in one area complements that in another. Too often the current approach our leaders take to global policy making means action in one area undermines action in another (consider, for example, recent calls for increased pumping of oil to lower energy prices, which some see as the last thing we should be doing if we are serious about addressing climate change).
Every vote means something – global democracy in action
Policies that do not receive good support in the 2008 voting round will drop out of the process, so take this opportunity to rally support for policies you wish to continue. Here is the voting page once again:
http://www.simpol.org/en/main/Policyvote08.htm
The policy supplement explains the voting process and lists the policies. It also flags up the forthcoming election of the Policy Committee. Nominations are being sought.
The Policy Committee protects the democratic interests of Adopters and facilitates the policy development process. As the campaign grows in strength it is also tasked with ensuring the process of developing policies keeps pace. You can complete the nomination form after voting or go direct to:
http://www.simpol.org/en/main/Policyvotethanks.htm
Feel free to pass this email and/or the policy supplement on to others. Once again, you can download the policy supplement at:

It's Simpol ! Spring 2008 and People-Centred Global Governance
Here's an alert I've just received from Simpol about the latest newsletter:
---
Dear Adopter of the Simultaneous Policy (SP),
It's Simpol! - Spring 2008 issue now out!
The latest issue of It's Simpol! has been published and can be freely downloaded now from http://www.simpol.org.uk/Pages/Newsletters.htm
Apart from topical news items, this and all future issues is accompanied by a Policy Bulletin covering the policies you've put forward for inclusion in SP and how everyone can get involved. This has the theme of ‘Turning weapons into windmills’ and includes guest articles on disarmament and peace proposals put forward by Adopters and how these can link to the issue of climate change.
While writing, the Editor of It's Simpol!, Diana Trimble, makes the following appeal:
Calling all writers and cartoonists!
We're actively seeking contributions from Adopters for the next Newsletter, so if you have an idea for something you want to share, please get in touch with the editor by writing to dtrimble@simpol.org
Got something you'd love to get off your chest? Perhaps your letter could be the next Rant of the Month!
International and bilingual contributions especially desired!
U.S. Presidential Election - Special campaign action!
All Adopters, not just U.S. ones, should check out Simpol's U.S. Presidential "Vote USA" site at http://www.simpol.org/voteusa.html which is designed for everyone to get the Simpol message across to Obama, McCain and other candidates. With the election finely balanced, supporting SP could make all the difference. This is a real opportunity to make a globally important impact, so get your friends - especially American ones - to sign up!
People-Centred Global Governance - Newly updated version now online
A newly updated version of the book, People-Centred Global Governance - Making it Happen!, is now available for free download from Simpol's global website.
Endorsements:
"A systemic and ingenious strategy for applying people power in all countries to encourage their politicians toward ‘win-win global solutions’.”
“Simultaneous Policy (SP) is an evolutionary imperative in a competitive world that now demands new forms of co-operation in order to address global issues that cannot be resolved by one nation alone. In this new book John Bunzl analyses some key aspects of governance and sets SP in the context of transformative evolutionary change in our economic and political systems. The book is a timely contribution to continuing debates about structures and processes of global governance, showing exactly why our current international institutions are not fit for purpose.”
“In an age when our problems are global and national governance structures are weakened and inadequate, it is absolutely necessary to think about the shape of effective global governance. This cannot be simply national government "writ large" for that would also enlarge the problems and inefficiencies of national governance. It must be a holistic and evolutionary governance system, and to the articulation of the essential features of such a system John Bunzl's book makes a major contribution. Highly recommended reading for everyone concerned with our collective future on this small and largely mismanaged planet.”
"John Bunzl convincingly demonstrates that if you want to contribute consciously to the successful advancement of the evolutionary process on this planet, you should support the Simultaneous Policy. The SP is a powerful and practical means of actualizing the next great step in evolution on earth - the formation of a cooperative and sustainable planetary civilization."
"This publication presents a unique long term approach to governance and environmental issues. It offers solutions based on the concept of unity in diversity. As such it is bound to produce controversy and debate!"
