Icelanders will be called upon again to vote on the agreement by their parliament voted to end their conflict in the United Kingdom and the Netherlands concerning compensation for bank customers Icelandic Icesave, which went bankrupt in 2008. A year after being rejected by an overwhelming majority of 93% the first compromise reached among the three states.
Our friend Susan George drafted a sample letter of support that each of us can sign and send. It's so rare to be able to congratulate a president ...

Excellency
Let me congratulate you on your courageous decision to `call a new referendum to Iceland to enable citizens to vote on the accord recently signed with governments Great Britain and the Netherlands concerning the debts accumulated by the failed bank, Icesave.
Despite `s parliamentary approval of this agreement, I agree with you that democracy demands that the people had the occasion to decide whether or not it agrees to` assume a debt of nearly four billion d `euros he could be obliged to repay, with interest, until 2046. Citizens of Iceland `s have not endorsed the irresponsible behavior of Icesave or forced British and Dutch governments to repay their own investors who have chosen to put their money in the bank.
We have seen that a small country like Tunisia could trigger a broad movement for democracy and freedom. Perhaps the example to another small country - Iceland - `d encourage other governments to deny the dominance of private finance and to consider that his people come before profits.
With my best wishes for your success and that the referendum
