Why is this important to you?

I was born and raised in Newport. To have this important and historical document destroyed would be a travesty upon the altar of freedom. Without the Chartist Movement, society would not have advanced towards the democracy that is rapidly being taken away from us, the people, by acts of suppression such as this. The people of Newport want this mural to remain. To have the mural destroyed would rob the future of a specific piece of artistic history that documents an important and defining moment in Newport's history, the history of Wales and Great Britain.
That is important to me and the future of anyone who cherishes freedom of speech.
