The United Workers Party (UWP) said it will ask President of the United States of America Barack Obama to help improve governance and restore democracy in Dominica.

At a UWP public meeting at Lagoon Monday night, Roseau Central MP Norris Prevost read out the draft letter which he plans to circulate and gain support for.

“On behalf of the people of the Roseau Central constituency whom I represent, on behalf of the citizens of Dominica, on behalf of the leaders of the United Workers Party, we are asking your help to restore and improve governance and transparency in our lovely Dominica,” Prevost read.

He will ask his constituents and other Dominicans to write their signatures in support of the letter to Obama.

“The fight for democracy is in your hands,” he told the gathering in Lagoon.

Prevost said his letter follows statement by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that America is willing to partner with leaders looking to improve transparency in their territories.

    President Obama has enough to worry about. The last thing he needs is to be concerned about what is occurring in Dominica, if it is not a war and Dominica is not attacked by invaders. Well, he may pass on the information to his secretary of state or other but do not count on that.

    I am a young supporter of the UWP but when you dont agree with something or against something you should speak out.. I am totally against them writing to the President of the United States. I mean.. Come on. Thats going way too far. If you guys fighting for democracy fight for it in Dominica or in the Caribbean not in the outside whole. So I would like you guys to sit an rethink and make a better decision..

    Well, it’s a good thing the Chinese are our friends. If the UWP get the Americans to throw out our democracy by force, we can always turn to the Chinese and Chavez to restore it by force. get real you bunch of jokers. Be careful what you wish for. :twisted:

    You mean to tell me for the few days I’ve been away from DNO this is all the KOCHONIE!! that happening? I felt sick just from reading! Why is that sick sick man being allowed to embarrass Dominica’s name so? Why is he pretending to be speaking on behalf of all Dominicans? Am I the only one who hates when someone lies in their name?

    How people supposed to proudly represent Dominica on this earth!?

    Why aren’t there penalties for these criminal allegations?….. and criminal attempts to ridicule Dominica on a whole!?

    What happen to the pledge of allegience?

    What does he expect to gain? Really!

    Hey, Prevost! Which model of democracy do you need help with from the USA? Here are your choices:

    1. Is it the Ronald Reqgan model as practised in Nicaragua, El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala, where death squads, disappearance and torture was the order of yhe day?

    2. Is it just a little help from the CIA with a few M-16’s on the streets of Roseau as they did against Michael Manley in Jamaica in the 70’s and 80’s? Jamaica is still paying the price in blood. Is that what you mean by the Roseau River being “red with blood’?

    3. Is it the US-backed model in Afghanistan?

    4. Is it the royal family type as in Kuwait or Saudi Arabia?

    5. Or is it the US model that denies a vote to citizens in its capital, DC, or its territories like the VI and Puerto Rico during presidential elections?

    Does non-interference in a sovereign country’s internal affairs mean anything to the UWP? What does Ron Green, Gabriel Christian, Bernard Wiltshire and Para Reviere have to say about non-interference?

    IF this letter is ever written and sent. IF Pr. Obama ever gets to hear about it. IF he was to take it serious, then surely he would instruct his aides to arrange a conference call to Pm Skerrit to discuss the matter.

    Once Pm Skerrit explains who the writer is and Pm Skerrit explains that he knows about the letter and what he thinks are the motives behind the letter, once they have had a good laugh, then Pr Obama will get his aides to file it the BIN file.

    Seriously folks this is no joke. This is tragic. This is sad. This is not what Dominica/Dominicans need.

    Please UWP sort yourselves out. Show the people that come the next election we will have more than one party to vote for, show the undecided (and those you think are disillusioned with the DLP). Show us what you intend to do to better Dominica and the lifes of Dominicans.

    What a joke! Obama has so much on his plate, with a new congress ruled by the republicans, immigration, healthcare and financial issues at hand, please tell me how and why he would put these aside in an attempt to restore democracy in Dominica.

    Before he does such a thing, he would need to clean up the Virgin Islands which are under the US rule with a high crime rate, murder every other day, and high unemployment. Prevost lets get serious, do you really expect to get a response from him on this issue?

    We had Patrick John, Eugenia Charles, Edison James, two other Labor PM’s, and no one ever requested help from the US on such an issue. Why now? Good luck Mr. Prevost and your supporters, but I think you should leave my President to the job he is paid to do.

    You know something, i’m all for a viable opposition but this is getting ridiculous.

    Mr Prevost and your fellow UWPites – please, LET’S MOVE ALONG. In the interest of Dominica, please, why don’t you sit and develop ideas as to how to move the country forward; come up with ideas. Charles Savarin was just talking about a “rapid response” police unit for crime – aside from the fact that this idea is stupid because rapid response police units are used in situations of unrest, like riots, why don’t you guys put together a list of the things you believe are sorely needed to be done in Dominica AND your ideas, CONCRETE IDEAS, as to how you can bring about the solutions. Don’t just come up with the same ole talk about ” we should do this and we should do that and UWP can solve this and UWP can solve that” – you need to tell the people HOW you intend to tackle the problems; HOW it would be different than how the government is doing it now, and why your ideas are better – concrete ideas and solutions for everyday problems. Stop pontificating – the time to respond and act like grownups, the time to show the people of Dominica that you’re a viable alternative is now. ENOUGH of the whining – lets hear ideas.

At this rate DLP will not have to do much campaigning to win the next general election 21-0. When will they realize that Dominicans are not stupid and all what they say is only a means of digging their own Political Graves.

    I mean to by cynical here! The WORLD is NOT looking at, watching, laughing at, singing to, paying attention to DOMINICA. DOMINICANS are the ONLY ONES doing the above mentioned to EACH OTHER. Gosh PPL look at yourselves, listen to each other. This is utter foolishness and it’s making me so ANGRY to see this stupidity run rampant in a society I once thought had a bounty of intelligent folk.

    I’m not sure what delusion or illusion whoever had when they came up with the idea of petitioning to Barack Obama. Dominica is NO THREAT to and has NO STRATEGIC SIGNIFICANCE to the UNITED STATES at this time.

    This FOOLISHNESS MUST STOP. PLEASE.

Because ur party fail to gain election time after time after te again you figure there isn’t any Democracy and that’s sad man. Go head and fool your self still. All the ppl who sign good luck cause y’all only going to get mad in the end. UWP did nothing for Dominica but put us on the famous BLACK LIST for years. Had the country in deeep dept. It seems allu 4got all this. This part of the reason millions of Dominicans migrated overseas. But yet they would support Blue powah. Sad.

Leave H Clinton and Barack in their mess. Before I used to respect the United Workers Leaders but now I see, they are all kidder-garden minded. Just follow what is going on between North & South Korea. All because of America. Look at Haiti, Iraq, Afghanistan & Iran. If all you cannot handle people of your caliber, it just impossible for them to deal with the US. All USA doing is pray on the third world countries and those who put up little resistance in order to dominate the world. SPRAGS, EDDIE & RON…………………. Grow up. Stand up and do what you have to. ANYTHING ELSE BUT GOING TO THE US…. Don’t sink us further and then put it on the Government of the day (as U do best)

    Karma is really a beach front property!!!

    In 1990 to 1991 UWP wrote the US President through the US Embassy in Barbados advising against the construction of an International Airport for Dominica.

    Now 21 years later they the UWP again either planning or actually writing to another US President to this time come and invade Dominica for them to get back in political office!!!!

    I want to know if the United States is so desperate to sacrifice the lives of US soldiers for the UWP.

    What does the UWP intend to give to the United States of America in return?

    Oh yes man Hilary Clinton had promised aid for the development of geothermal energy some years ago to the Caribbean.

    So Dominicans you can see and judge the UWP for all yourselves. Dem man desperate and USA though financially strapped to resolve domestic issues; the USA always has funds for its military – anything to remove China from Dominica.

    But as always the USA will make a mess of things in small island invasions – there is always friendly fire with a lot of dead marines.

    Did they forget that we have Caribbean bodies, example CARICOM? Why aren’t they going to them first? Do you all really think America will put Dominica on the priority list to restore Democracy? The leaders of Dominica are not even acting on issues in Dominica, all they have been doing is fighting against each other based on party colors. When Dominicans based in the US try to help (some really do have great points) they are told to stay out because they don’t reside in DOminica. BUT YOU ALL WANT TO TURN TO THE USA FOR HELP?????????????????????

    When the US ask what have we done to address our issues and they realise the we are just full of talk they will laugh at us. LETS BE REALISTIC PEOPLE….

    Dominica is not treat to the Might US of A, with or without Chavez. What Provost should do to help Dominica is fix the Cinema and give some of our young men jobs, pay some of the jobless he is feeding to clean the back of the cinema on Upper lane, that is one of the most disgusting part of Roseau, get them to help clean it up. Is time our Men in Dominica stop talking crap and start working to make Dominica a better place. All some of these Men do is talk bull crap 24/7.

    GET REAL

    Old, … Prevost is just as crazy as his partner Edison. They give us a real comedy show on the streets of Roseau. The UWP circus certainly has its fair share of clowns!

    The problem is they actually take themselves seriously they are suffering from paranoid fantasies and delusions of grander. Does Prevost think President Obama (who by the way is a friend of PM Skerrit) is going to take him serious?

    Obama is well aware of what happens in Dominica, he knows that we had free and fair elections a year ago, that we continue to develop while our Caribbean neighbours struggle, that our PM is the most respected and admired in the Caribbean. Obama knows that democracy is alive and well in Dominica and that the vast majority of people support our government.

    Prevost is just trying to get some attention… he’s old and tired and lacking of vision and ideas… he just wants someone to pay him some attention. Can we get Prevost and Edison in the “YES WE CARE” programme – these tired, old, senile men.

      wat u need to do is come to dominica, go around de place, see what is going on, listen to the ppl on de ground(those that dont have time to write on DNO) and then judge for yourself.
      Maybe your views might change.

      • Is that so?
        January 18, 2011

        Right, you are not here so you should just shut up until you make your next journey here to see all that have been really going on since you’ve been gone!!!

          The “Shut up because you not here” thing is getting old. In case you haven’t noticed, you are now living in a global village. The whole world sees everything in minutes. Cut the ignorance and find ways to make a valuable contribution to the society around you as opposed to asking everyone who disagrees with your opinion to shut up. You and many who live in DA are only seeing red and blue and that’s a shame. Wake up and think for a change.
          By the way, I was in DA a few months ago and I love my homeland. I am worried that ignorance like that displayed here will negatively impact many of us who plan to come home. As much as we love our country and think there is no better place, those who have done some traveling are realizing that there are many destinations that afford more happiness than Dominica. This none sense about red verses blue, caribs verses negroes, people living in DA verses those living elsewhere is just making me want to vomit.

    Well i guess they assume Brisbane write letter so why not write theirs, at the end of the day who cares .. who really cares about Dominica? We already nonexistent to those countries, now we going to make ourselves look like nonexistent fools… smh… Brisbane was wrong for writing those letters and therefore the UWP is wrong to write that letter… It’s not going to make anything better for our little country… Stop the madness please

    Sometimes I really wonder what my fellow Dominicans are thinking. I would like to really know what is the real meaning of Democracy. He went up for elections. He won his seat, sat out the house meeting for two consecutive times and on the third meeting he took his oath and then walked out the house. What more democracy there is.
    I would like to really know what would President Obama do for our Country that has an elected government elected by the people where an election was supervised by outsiders and determined that the election was free and fair.
    The opposition need to realise that election is over and now is the time to come together and build Dominica.
    I can come to Dominica and run my mouth how I want. Go on the radio and say anything without any fear of reprisal. Write to DNO or any other media outlet in Dominica.
    I would like to really asked Mr. Prevost where does he feel that our Democracy is under threat where he can go on a platform and say what ever he and his colleagues want to say.
    Carnival is coming and there will be lot of calypsoes blasting the Government and no one will sensure them. What more democracy do they want.
    They are putting Dominica on a bad footing by insuating that there is no democracy in Dominica. I will continue to reiterate that democracy is alive and well in Dominica.
    This is juts my two cents.

    As you read, i am amused….It is an ironical kind of amusement…

    Who is “gullible” ? lol now you are amusing….aren’t we all coming to the same conclusion that Mr James and his clowns are a circus? So why are you being so insulting …not that am insulted mind you…

        that what they want for someone to arrest them, they would be ecstatic, then the headlines would read (1) ” members of the opposition party arrested in Dominica” (2) “No more Democracy in Dominica” (3) Political Prisoner Taken & New Dictator shoes true Color in Dominica”

        But this will not happen, NO one will arrest them the show will continue to the last scene!

    I think Dominicans should create their own petition and send it to the President of Dominica to replace the UWP as the opposition. We in Dominica need a strong and credible opposition as an alternative to government who can create a balance to governance in Dominica.

    As such we need to replace this uwp guys, they are not our opposition, they are jokersition.

    All those who are alarmed by the UWP statement are dummies in a can. They are plain stupid. This statement was made to make monkeys out of you.

    Who told you that the US has any interest in any place that is not a threat to it, its interest or its allies?

    All this talk about contacting President Obama is just a sham and people should pay that no mind. This letter will never reach the Post Offcie far less President Obama.

    Dominicans are too gullible and this is why the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer.

    i am not a political person , but i am so disgusted by this ‘desperate’ attempts to sully the name of Dominica.
    i believe in democracy not ‘desperation’.This is not the way to gain the confidence of Dominicans. To me, these actions can be paralleled to those of a spoiled child throwing a tantrum in a ‘desperate’ attempt to gain attention.

    he is right now trying to deal with Cuba. Dominica wont even be near his mind. SO PLEASE DONT TAKE US FOR A RIDE.
    Stop destroying our little country. you all are trying top tear down the current administration, but you all are not seeing what effect it will have on the country a few years down the line.
