Re: ‘Let's fight for our democratic rights' (The Weekend Sun, June 26).

Congratulations to letter author A McMillan of Tauranga City. I support your call to New Zealanders to wake up.

Pressure to bear can win, unilateral solidarity and strength will prevail against money. Do we let money take away our freedom of speech and our democracy? Don't let John Key and the National party continue to sell our country to overseas interests. Remember, this Government was only returned to office on promises which they have not kept.

They are government of the people by the people for the people – and with a coalition of only one seat majority do not have a mandate to sell our country.

Politicians must listen to a majority, not dictate. The wealthy may have money to support National, however solidarity strength and honesty can win the day.

Our children and future generations need our love and support now – don't let this government destroy their future.

Two-and-a-half years more in power can mean non-recovery for our country as we will be sold to overseas interests. Stop this government now by a nationwide petition on the grounds this government have taken control and will not listen to public opinion.

K Allen, Katikati.
