國民黨公布反萊豬公投連署書近9萬份,持續衝刺達標
中國國民黨今(14)日上午召開記者會,公布「還我公投」與「反萊豬」兩項公投案第二階段最新連署數字;從本月初展開第二階段連署以來,兩公投案統計至昨日下午5時分別收到「還我公投」案共87,800份連署書;「反萊豬」公投案共88,157份連署書。國民黨表示,感謝全台民眾踴躍參與兩項公投案連署,但離目標還有一段距離,仍須持續衝刺,期盼能在3月10日連署截止前達成目標,讓民進黨政府看到50萬份連署書的強大民意!
國民黨特別製作的反萊豬皮卡今日也首度亮相:全車粉紅色系,搭配超萌耳朵與豬鼻子,外型極為吸睛。國民黨表示,未來這輛皮卡將開赴全台多個連署點,在各地舉辦的公投連署遊行及宣講活動上都可以看到,也呼籲民眾若看到這輛反萊豬皮卡經過,能隨手比個「讚」,一同守護食安,為公投連署加油!
文傳會主委王育敏上午在記者會中,宣布國民黨設置公投連署網站正式啟用。網站上除了放置兩公投案連署書,提供民眾下載填寫後寄回黨部,也標註了最新累積的連署書數字,並可查詢附近的友善連署點,便利民眾參與連署。網站連結:https://noractopork.tw/
王育敏強調,儘管最近連續寒流來襲,但民眾參與連署的熱情絲毫不減,兩項公投案的連署情況都相當熱烈,國民黨仍會持續衝刺加溫,預定在本週末(16日)下午到新竹市舉辦車隊遊行及連署宣講活動,並在遊行終點竹蓮寺進行連署宣講;下週末則預定在高雄、台南宣講,期盼能在3月10日連署截止前達成50萬份連署目標!
國民黨強調,蔡英文總統去年8月底蠻橫宣布進口萊豬,民進黨府院黨動員護航,罷凌了七成反萊豬的民意,地方政府以自治法規要求「瘦肉精零檢出」,蔡政府還不准各縣市政府守護人民健康,希望全民用連署書、公投票展現拒絕萊豬、反對鴨霸政府的強烈意志!唯有人民自己作主,投下反萊豬公投票,才是拒絕萊豬的最後防線。
Anti-Ractopork Signature Drive Nears 90,000 Signatures, Continued
Efforts at Reaching Our Goal
The Kuomintang (KMT) announced this morning (1/14) at a press
conference that the signature drives for two referenda, one to oppose
ractopamine pork (ractopork) imports and the other to tie future referenda to
general elections, have reached new numbers. Ever since the second-stage
referenda were initiated earlier this month, a total of 88,157 signatures have
been collected for the anti-ractopork referendum and 87,800 signatures for the
referendum to tie future referenda to general elections, as of 5pm yesterday.
The KMT expresses gratitude to the people of Taiwan for enthusiastically
participating in the signature drives. However, there is still quite a long way
to go until our goal of 500,000 signatures will be reached. We must keep
sprinting towards that goal with high hopes that the DPP will hear the voice of
500,000 citizens calling for food safety on the final day of our signature
drive (3/10)!
The KMT’s custom-made anti-racto-pork car wrap was showcased for all to see for
the first time today: a pink car with a pig nose and pig ears is sure to be
eye-catching on the streets. The KMT states that the customized pig car will
make its way around all the signature drive locations in Taiwan. Additionally,
it will be present for all signature drive demonstrations and parades. The KMT
calls upon citizens to give a thumbs up to the pig car if they see it driving
around the streets for the protection of food safety and for the continued
momentum of the signature drive!
Culture and Communications Committee Director General Alicia Wang announced
during the press conference this morning that the KMT’s website for the
referenda signature drive has been officially launched. Besides the official
cosigning documents (which can be filled out and mailed to KMT headquarters),
the website also features the current number of signatures and various nearby
cosigning locations, making it convenient for the public to participate. Website

Alicia Wang emphasizes that despite the fact that there have been many cold
spells this winter, there is still a fiery passion among the public for the referenda
signature drives. The KMT will continue to sprint towards our goal, with plans
to be in Hsinchu City on the afternoon of 1/16 to host a bicycle parade and
signature drive announcement. At the end point of the parade, Juland Temple, we
will make an announcement regarding the signature drive. Next weekend, we will
be in Kaohsiung and Tainan for additional events. We are striving to have
500,000 signatures by the final date of our drive, 3/10!
The KMT emphasizes that President Tsai Ing-wen announced the
importation of ractopork in an unreasonable manner last August. The DPP
administration, the Executive Yuan, and the Legislative Yuan mobilized to
maltreat and insult the public by ignoring the nearly 70% of people who oppose
ractopork! Local governments have requested to have more autonomy regarding the
scrutiny and examination of ractopork, yet the Tsai administration is still not
allowing local governments to protect public health. Hopefully, all citizens
will use this signature drive as an opportunity to show the Tsai government that
they oppose ractopork and the administration’s unreasonable actions! Take your
future into your own hands by casting a vote against ractopork in the
referendum. This is the best and only way to wholly reject ractopork.
