Timothy appeals to Fond Cole voters

Timothy said Fond Cole voters must put misgivings aside
Timothy said Fond Cole voters must put misgivings aside

Dominica Labour Party (DLP) candidate for the Roseau North Constituency, Julius Timothy, is calling on the people of Fond Cole to turn out in large numbers and vote for him during the December 8 general election.

Timothy told supporters at a DLP rally in Fond Cole on Tuesday night, he is always available to his constituents whenever he is needed.

“Other than prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit, I am the minister who sees the most people in government headquarters,” he said. “When they cannot come to government headquarters they come at ACS on Saturday mornings, so people of Fond Cole you have a good thing.”

He said all misgivings must be cast aside because when he was “on the other side” all the people of Fond Cole voted for him.

“So come December 8th I want all the people of Fond Cole to vote Julius Timothy,” he said. “You all must realize that you have a very, very good thing in Julius Timothy. You call can call me anytime, no matter where I am just call me and I will be there for you…”

Timothy stated further that he has provided sponsorship to every sporting activity in the Roseau North.

“In Roseau North between Julius Timothy and his companies, every sporting activity we are there sponsoring,” he stated. “In Goodwill we have New India Goodwill Runners, the women football team. We have ACS Zebians, we have ACS Tarish Pit Football. You have Timothy’s Bay Boys in Pottersville, you have Tarish Pit Rounders Team…You have Fond Cole Domino Team…You have Fond Cole Small Goal League-Julius Timothy. You have Fond Cole Basketball League-Julius Timothy…”

Meanwhile Leader of the DLP, prime minister, Roosevelt Skerrit assured party supporters that Timothy is not contesting the general election for personal gain.

“Julius Timothy, my brothers and sisters, is not in politics today for personal gain,” he noted. “Julius Timothy is not contesting this election to secure himself financially. I will go as far as to say that given his known private investments, Julius Timothy might be making a personal financial sacrifice by remaining in politics.”

Skerrit described Timothy as “a committed and devoted individual, a man who loves Dominica and Dominicans” who wants one more term to bring projects to fruition.

“I spoke to him very candidly last year and Julius said to me, prime minister I need one more term to see a few crucial projects to fruition. There are few things I have promised people of Roseau North and I could not live with myself if I did not see them through to completion,” he said.

According to Skerrit, even when Timothy fell ill last year, his pre-occupation on his sick bed was seeking an update on when certain projects could get started.

“I know he have a passion for the new general hospital to be built in this constituency, a $200-million state of the art hospital,” Skerrit said. “I know he is very excited about the proposed new indoor sporting facility to be located at Stockfarm.”

He added, “I know as well that he desperately wants to see the next phase of the housing revolution visited upon this constituency in a major way. So Julius Timothy is not knocking on your doors to promote himself…Julius Timothy is tonight seeking a new mandate to resume and conclude the many projects he has outlined for his constituency, but which have been delayed due to the impact of the crippling global economic recession.”

Timothy has been the Parliamentary Representative of the Roseau North constituency since 1995.

He crossed the floor from United Workers Party (UWP) to the DLP in 2007.

    After his bout with a stroke, I really thought Mr. tim tim would have cooled out and retire! boy power is really addictive for real. :lol:

    Once upon a time I never missed a meeting in “Lagon” especially when Tim Tim was on the platform. Back then I believed that Tim Tim stood for a different kind of politics. He is a learned man and he worked very hard to attain his success.

    As time went by, Tim Tim lost his way. The hospital is a complete mess. The last time I was at the “Princess Margaret Hospital,” cupboard doors were falling of their hinges. Mold took over and invaded the walls of the building.

    The substandard care that patients receive is unacceptable. Sleeping on uncomfortable metal beds from the stone age was even worse. Some members of the medical staff do their best but the entire system needs an immediate overhaul.

    As Minister of Health, Tim-Tim has been a failure in this area. He can afford to fly out to neighboring islands for medical treatment when he needs it.

    If Danny is successful on December 8, 2014 I sincerely hope that he makes the construction of a new state of the art hospital his central theme and mission of the highest priority.

    The hatred for the PM with no reason are making you act so foolish that you all curse or disrespect anyone that supports the Government. Let persons support who they want to whilst you support your UWP party. Stop being disrespectful. I do not see your disrespectfulness and jealousy changing even if your party would win. Time to do some introspection and throw out the hatred. This is destroying a lot of our people. Wasn’t Dominicans portrayed as a peaceful, loving people. Where has this gone? Some persons the way they eye you if you are dressed supporting your party. The cut eyes etc… time to grow up.

    Stop this! Give Timothy a break! He is not dead! He has done tremendously well as Minister of Heath. He will retire when he have to. Stop all this negative talk .. so many young persons pass. He is strong and he can do what he has to do. Why do you all people always feel that you can discard persons and put aside. We all have to age …. Would you like to be treated the way you treat others ????????

    The manner in which skeritt says Timothy is not in politics for his own pocket sounds like an acknowledgement that he and others are.
    By the way, why is a Timothy a member of parliament for all these years boasting how many scholarships and sponsorship his personal company gave to community. When do we separate that from work you are elected to do. This is where unethical practices starts. Smdh. The level of our comprehension is amazing.

    In 2000 Layba say Timothy was the architect of corruption. Tony say he was the high priest. They even had a picture of Timothy behind bars. Thats where they had him going Astaphan say. last nite Tony standing on platform begging Fond Cole to vote for Timothy. Mind you, Tony stand on platform for Colin Mcintyre too, and we know who Dr Mac was blasaying. The white people call that cuckolding.
    Never get vex with people for politics or politicians. It not worth it. Not even Tony vex with Timothy and Mac. They could be voler or be mashing up someone close. Tony eh care cause power is most important.

    Julius Timothy is the biggest …. Dominican politics has ever seen. Timothy knows that Skerrit and the rest of the Labour gang do not want him in their mix, he was the founder of the UWP and invested a lot of resources In that party, he served as finance minister in the UWP government and was responsible for all its financial successes and failures. Eddison James was P.M. but Julie had the purse and was more powerful than Eddison.
    Timothy sits there and watch the Labour party tear his achievements away and like a puppet says yes P.M. Since Timothy indicated that he could never be as good as Skerrit, I gave up on him. what has Skerrit done that the average leader could not have done?
    Timothy needs a real beating at the polls.

I hate when people i support because of the party they belong to walk to the enemy side with my vote i have never forgiven you for that and this time around am seeing what i wanted done to you in 2009 coming through, i throw my full support behind Danny lugay.

    Tim Tim, the political weather looks very, very, very, very, very gloomy for you in the Roseau North Constituency. In fact I can confirm there will be a massive storm over the Roseau North on December 8, and by 3pm the devastation will become a reality. Tim Tim, you are my very good friend and therefore I urge you to get into your shelters as early as possible. And my friend, please remember to go to a shelter that is very close to a hospital that is well equipped, and please hold your medication.

      In 2009 plenty of us got things from Labour through Mt. Timothy. We took though. Election on again we coming again same set, want galvanize, cement, lumber, nails, pay light, water, marpin etc, child sick etc. etc Some even get license for operations by pretending to be what they are not.

      Then we send all the children, husband, wife and other family members disguished. So some of you all were caught and told that “others must get – we must share the bread” all you vex.

      What make it worst you all not supporting the man. Shame! Shame! Shame!

      So all those from the other party who walk up Government step for freeness and even getting more than the labourites check your conscious God do not like liars and cheaters. Some of you all going both party functions who all you think all you fulling God seeing everything and one day it will catch up with you all. If you blue stick with your blue and stay away from what labour giving some even greedy more they get more they want and even vex when they do get. Shame! shame! I have the scores on plenty of them like that. One love. Lets be honest people. Do support people for what you can get.

Shameless persons .. He has done so much for them.. They are at his home early .. at ACS and they always want and want. What is so pathetic is they are never prospering and they remain where they are because they are not honest and then the evil green eyed Monster takes over their soul…. With all he has given them .. they expect to see him get bankrupt and down but alas … the Good Father blesses Julius Timothy. Stop that .. don’t you want to get blessed too? Give a little love .. stop hating the man …. Mr conscience …. Mr Conscience , conscience … alas magre sa!

        It is not DLP personal money they are spending. The money belongs to our country. It is tax payers money and we all pay tax. So all citizens of Dominican can come if they want.. That money belongs to all of us but it is sad the way this DLP government uses our money to give to its supporters. This money should be used to provide sustainable jobs and not have people become beggars.

    with all the assistance the Labour party has boasted about they have gotten from other countries, i haven’t seen how it has been spent, the roseau north constituency has been ignored. don’t tell me about the hospital, the hospital serves the entire country. we want specific development for the constituents. currently Stock farm has no community center. where are the scholarships , our roads and drains are in a deplorable state, unqualified persons are given contracts to build roads and do a miserable job,we need proper housing. too many persons cant provide the basic things for the family. we need proper sustainable jobs not the ones that last for six months. Even the victimization from timothy party supporters needs to stop. with all these issues Julius timothy cannot expect us to vote for him. his health is no issue, if he is sick step the hell down and make way for someone else. After all it is Labour Party that said Leadership is everything !!!!!!!!!!!

      Unqualified persons are given jobs but you being qualified has never done anything in the community. Only hatred comes from your mouth. Instead of talking, join and work so you can give the basic necessities to your family. Stop sitting on the side and talking whilst the party is working. Do something before something happen to you. Stop being idle and put your hand to the plough. What are you doing for your community???? Talking cannot be doing anything … talking cannot fix the problems you spoke about. Where is your proposal and advice????

        we dont wait for hand-outs from the Government and disrespectful parlreps. who the hell you think your are to ask me “What are you doing for your community????” so because you receiving big time assistance from tim personally, and the rest of the Roseau North constituency is suffering you have a problem with me talking. go to hell, the evil that you do will live with you. when you finish you will go to church and pray to God for deliverance but he see’s your dirty ways.

    But people look at what the mighty politicians have come down to! Bondieu them guys actually begging for their job back wee! some of them lossing their voices and sleep over it! I hear some have to get treatment for anxiety and pressure all in an enough to get back a five year contract/job. When they get into power and you see them going to their office in their jacket and tie you would never say that these were the same guys out there literally begging the people for a job, a job, a job! boy life strange eeh! So all the power and authority and varri them boys have when they is minister so and so – and you have to beg to see them or make appointment – right now they doh have office they are literally at our mercy–; when they want the job oh the MASSES i.e is we the people are the most important thing. They will come in rain, sun , thunderstorm – they will bring us gifts and fete and frolic – they promise and bring us the World- as soon as they win is on SUV they passing – forgetting what they had to do to get in….until the next 5 years again. I tell you people the “M” in Masses becomes very silent and is quickly replaced by the ” A” and we become the A……..S” . The moral of the story people is simple ” the power in people is far greater than the people in power”. let them sweat ,let them bawl, let some of them cry, until December 8th and then we will go quetly to vote who we want with no noise hahaha.

My friend can you honestly say you won the last election in 2009? 2. Can you honestly say that the result of the last election in the Roseau North constituency was not bought instead of won? 3.Mr. Timothy, do you know anything about large amounts of dry cash that was given to poll workers (both UWP and DLP) and law officers at the Roseau North polls to ensure that votes that were clearly marked for UWP were passed unto the dlp in the name of spoil ballot? Remember I was there and know the facts Tim Tim and if you need help in answering, I will be more than ready like freddy to assist you.

From 2005 – 2014 was by very fay your worse years in politics and we will have no more of your nonsense. I speak as one of your biggest supporters from 1995 to 2009.

      Stop stressing yourself … the polls will speak for itself. There is no need to talk so since Mr. Julius Timothy has not failed as a Parl Rep. You may have not received something personal so your turn away from him. Mr. Timothy cannot give all of you… When you cannot receive, then you turn… Remember when he gave you before. There are others who need (not want I reiterate) the help that Mr Timothy will continue to give. He was like that even before going into politics. You know Timothy has his own business and does not need to be in Government to be the caring and compassionate man that he has been long before politics. He has never forgotton where he came from born poor but with determination he went to school and even got his Masters degree. Before you criticize him, see how you can help in your community and seek his advice if you have not completed your education. He will always be charismatic , caring .. that is how the Father created him. Also the PM – Loving and caring … that is what you all are mad about. They will continue to be blessed by our Creator.

Have you ever seen him on the walks. He was on the last cancer walk and other walks. If you did not know, now you know … get on with the program and join the slim trim train … Fat is not always healthy.
