Free movement of persons: Clerc urges people to vote

Former "Tagesschau" presenter Charles Clerc takes to the news desk once again for the referendum campaign on the free movement of persons. For the "Stay in" campaign of the FDP, CVP and SP youth parties, the 65-year-old reports in a satire on "Tagesschau" that the free movement of persons was rejected by exactly one vote. However, the non-voter who "missed" the vote had been tracked down. The reporting is dramatized by various contributions from people affected by the result of the vote, as well as statements from Barack Obama and Christoph Blocher, for example. The non-voter is pilloried in the program as a traitor to the nation - even the CIA is said to be on to him.
The Clerc film is available on Dailynews.com and can be sent to friends via e-mail. The recipient's name can be entered as a supplement so that they appear in the "Tagesschau" as the "non-voter" in question. Among other things, their name appears on a large banner carried by demonstrators. The idea for the mobilization film was stolen from the Obama campaign, as campaign manager Andreas Graf told Sonntagsblick. Particularly practical: in order to protect potential "bums" or non-voters from such a fate, a wake-up service has been set up for the voting day of February 8, 2009. This can be ordered via SMS with the text "Wake me up" to 079 654 45 96.
