Taipei Times - archivesLin I-hsiung (林義雄), a long-time democracy stalwart and former Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) chairman who initiated the campaign, urged the public to pay attention to its appeal.

Having staged nationwide marches in 1994, 1997 and 2002 to call for a referendum on the Fourth Nuclear Power Plant that is currently under construction, this time Lin organized the march after a proposal by the DPP to hold a plebiscite on the government’s plan to sign an economic cooperation framework agreement (ECFA) with China was rejected by the Cabinet’s Referendum Review Committee.
