    Right but then tomorrow turn around and accept money from ministers for a vote. History will repeat itself as always. You want change demand it, reject that Hand out, reject ignorant empty talk, reject uneducated people representing you.

    Keep it up my fellow countrymen. We need to win this confrontation. Skerrit needs to understand that he has been elected to serve the people of DA and not the other way around. He needs to be stoped for the sake of the country.

    Fight on brave warriors. You will go down on the right side of history. I hope the electors are keenly taking note . This grossly amateurish leader uses the scarce financial resources of the State to purchase the most modern and sophisticated weapons and very costly gears for a mostly untrained police force. This same regime cannot find money to repair and renovate mold and rodent infested, badly dilapidated public buildings. No money for good roads and solid bridges. No cash for well needed equipment and medicine at the hospitals and health centers. The government ‘s priorities are upside down. This government is not people oriented. It grabs avariciously for its individual members. Instead of referring to these insatiable grabbers of wealth as a government, they should be labeled a GRABBERMENT.

    The protest was far from the electoral office..We were periliously sandwiched next to McMillan gas station among moving vehicles from all directions .
    The pictures do not do justice to the number of people who were there either..
    We were teargassed,but our indomitable spirit are unscathed…
    I am prepared to put my Boots on the ground again at the earliest call.

    Anywhere there is a Nation, there will always be a few disgruntled among the whole, who is going to cause, vile, strife, disdain, discord, and all other sorts of unrest for the citizens of that Nation. This political known as the CCM in Dominica is one of them.

    They are not concerned about the citizens, they are simply hungry for power and fame.

    But I am reminding the leaders of that group that they have a Supreme Leader who makes all the plans and decisions according to His Will for Life in obedient and humble mankind. He will allow no flesh to glory in His presence, and against His authority.

    You guys are fighting a “losing battle”. Wake up from your nightmare, because you all seem to be dreaming of fame and power that you all can never achieve. For God forbid this!

      Elisabeth, your christian maryrs were few, killed for their believE an your beloved Jesus was one of them. Now they are Saints. Just think about that.

      You see you that preacher; you that so called Christian who everyday recently claiming you are called to preach; I must ask you if this pile of garbage you wrote here is a another message from where; but not from God!

      As I told you in a message this morning in another forum; Bullets do not have any name on them; and I personally wish when Roosevelt goons start tear-gassing, and shooting people, I wish some of your family get hurt; maybe only then you will come to you senses, and see how detrimental is Roosevelt to our people and country.

      Elizabeth what is wrong about people calling for electoral reform?

      What is wrong about people wanting to ensure that people have the right to vote in the country, and the elections are not rigged?

      What is wrong about people wanting fair elections, where dead people are not voting, and party crones are voting seven and ten times at the same and different poling stations?

      That’s too much to ask?

        Look, there is nothing wrong about protesting and calling for fair elections, but there is something when you make allegations about dead people voting and people are voting several times at different polling stations, wow. Do you know of such things personally and do have evidence that such things took place. You criticizing Elizabeth brand of Christianity and wishing her family gets hurt says a lot about your mentality, such silliness on your part.

        Gary, why do you believe that Roosevelt attempted to pass a law giving him and his party the right to transport people on election day to poling stations to vote?

        In case you are pretending you do not know; be informed by doing so they could have easily take people from place to place to vote. Do not pretend you do not know that there are dead people who’s names are still on the voter registration list.

        Don’t you think it is time that the list should be purged by removing the names of the dead from the list so that when their is an election, and a clear winner declared there can be no suspicions that dead people voted?

        And while we are at it: could you take a little bit of your time to suggest the ruling party should desists the practice of importing people into the country to vote; be they Dominican born or otherwise?

        Suggest they keep the election fair and clean Gary!
