The Citizens for Rowling campaign was a failed campaign to stop Robert Muldoon winning the 1975 New Zealand election. It was named after then Labour Prime Minister Bill Rowling in the lead-up to the 1975 general election. Members of the campaign publicly signed the "Citizens for Rowling" petition warning against a National government led by Robert Muldoon. The campaign was largely organised by David Exel, a former television producer and current affairs interviewer. Central to the campaign was a booklet, in the form of a petition, which attacked Muldoon's leadership style, which was stated as being "divisive" and "moving towards factional strife". Ads were run in major papers around New Zealand asking people to 'stand up and be counted' as supporting Bill Rowling and the campaign. Many offshoot groups were formed, such as Lawyers for Rowling and Clergy for Rowling. Rowling's eldest son, Carl, also joined the campaign. ==Prominent members== Prominent members of the campaign included: * Geoffrey Palmer * Sir Jack Harris * Sir Edmund Hillary * John Hinchcliff 〔The Listener, ''Ask that Philosopher'', 1–7 May 2004, Volume 193, Number 3338 (Source )〕 * Graham Nuthall * Sir Paul Reeves 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Citizens for Rowling」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
