為什麼港府對窮人錙銖必較，對富人卻可慷慨解囊，大花669億興建高鐵？ 為什麼港府可以從沒諮詢受影響居民而決定走線？ 近日一些朋友團體就政府高鐵方案顯示的種種問題及18號立法會財務委員會可能通過政府669億巨額的撥款要求深感不安，希望能集合關心社會發展、民生福祉、致力改善貧富縣殊、心繫民主發展的社福界人仕集體發聲，就以下三點提出我們的意見及要求： 1.反對政府在推行高鐵方案過程中欠諮詢、隱瞞資料、不尊重村民不遷不拆的訴求、不回應大角咀及其他高鐵沿線受影響居民的查詢並拒絕對話、賤視民間專家及市民意見等黑箱作業的尊斷獨裁作風； 2. 要求政府應以公平、公開、公正原則善用公帑，並以投資改善民生建設、發展本土經濟為先，展開如何有責任地運用669憶的社會討論； 3. 要求立法會議員於18號財務委員會撥款上監察政府、維護市民公平受惠的權利，反對撥款。 初步構思的行動包括： 1. 就以上各點草擬一份聲明、廣傳社福界及服務使用者，邀請聯署，希望能在15號前收集一千個簽名 (網址http://www.gopetition.com/online/32743.html) 2. 在本月15號就聯署要求在立法會(近愛丁堡廣場)召開記者會，公佈網上聯署結果，並要求立法會議員回應。有興趣出席的同工可聯絡女工會胡美蓮27904848或正委會葉寶琳25603865，或電郵予chun@cheungkwokche.hk。 3. 在本月17號在蘋果日報刊登聯署聲明。 懇切希望你們能加入聯署行動，並就刊登聯署聲明作出捐款。 請於2009年12月16日或之前，將聯署費用（個人/團體捐款HK$50或以上）以劃線支票（抬頭請註明「香港天主教正義和平委員會」）形式寄到「西灣河大石街一號李宏基牧民中心302室」，或直接存入正委的銀行戶口（匯豐銀行082-013533-001），收據請傳真至25398023或寄到以上地址。 謝謝！ read more
