The United Workers Party (UWP) team began its 7 city tour of North America on Friday January 10th, 2014 with a series of meetings in the US Capital, Washington DC.

UWP Leader Lennox Linton says the team met with the State Department coordinators of US government interagency policy in the Eastern Caribbean; top officials of the National Democratic Institute; and Congressional delegations on Capitol Hill with a keen interest Caribbean and global affairs.

“It was a busy and punishing but productive first day struggling with the arctic blast that has been battering the eastern seaboard of the US…  We were very well received as we embraced the privilege of sharing our vision of Dominica emerging as a responsible global citizen and reliable partner in the advancement of democracy and sustainable development in the Western Hemisphere.  The team is particularly excited about the prospects for building strategic partnerships in the cause of meaningful transformation of the socio-economic landscape in Dominica”.

A release from the UWP states that former IMF economist, Dr. Thomson Fontaine and Attorney-at-Law Joshua Francis, participated in the Washington DC meetings. Former UWP Leader Ron Green, according to the release was expected to join the team later that day for its meeting with Dominicans in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia (the greater Washington DC metropolitan area).

Opposition Leader Hector John was also expected to arrive in the US on Friday and will be with the team for its engagements with Dominicans in North America beginning with the January 12th, 2014 meeting at the Robert Street Hotel in Newark, in New Jersey.

    Did I hear the North American Tour is over already? Did they go to all of the North American places they said they were going too? Or was Team UWP unable to complete the tour?

    Maybe the cold was too much for Team UWP so they run back to the warmth of the Motherland, that they tried to describe as the worse place for anyone to live because as far as they are concerned nothing good happens in the country or its people.

    Yet they want to be our country government. Does that make any sense to any of you? It certainly does not to me.

    I was at the meeting in New Jersey. No regrets very informative. You guys stand a great chance of winning, as someone mentioned please do this again during summertime. New Jersey fed-up of Skerrit and his house party crew. Dominicans at home need to open their eyes and listen to those of us who wonder why Skerrit visits the US so often and never had any constructive meeting with Dominican residing in New Jersey. It was high time for some intelligent people to put some sense in some fools up here that they can be prosecuted, and jailed for voter fraud.
    It is a shame, and Dominican overseas should respect those residing in Dominica by allowing them to choose their own governing power, because they are the ones who reside on the Island.
    Great job guys. I am looking forward to see you guys soon in one of New Jersey. We do not need to come home to vote, but we can contribute financially to support our country.

    I’ll just say this; I live in New York City and I attended the Brooklyn event. Prior to attending the event, notwithstanding the fact that I am/was convinced that Skerritt has to go, I had my doubts about Lennox and the team. In other words, I was in a “anybody but Skerritt” mode. And that’s also in spite of the fact that some of the members of the Team Dominica are personal friends of mine, even a former classmate. The reason I say this before my next statement is to underscore the fact that my position was essentially non-committal, non-partisan. Having said that, I can say without any equivocation that I am on board Team Dominica. You see, I was once a Freedomite in the days of ME Charles – I was in the Young Freedom Movement, together with Bosso in Mahaut and a whole other group. I switched to the Labour Party primarily due to influences from Mike and Roosie, and I stayed with the party thru the last few years – some members of government are my personal friends as well. The paying of passages and giving of pocket change turned me off – I happen to believe the purity of the voting process; its the foundation of our freedoms. Call me utopian, if you will, but that’s my belief. Folks, paying for tickets was real – my cousin personally took one to come vote for Petter StJean in La Plaine. We lived in the same building at the time – I know. We need a change in Dominica. I really intend on moving back within the next few years to play my part in nation building – I have skills to offer in trade, logistics, marketing, distribution of food products worldwide, skills I can surely put to use in the revitalization of our agricultural sector. I look forward to a change in my homeland. Lets get it done.

    where is Mr Hector John in all of this. why wasn’t he there from the beginning ? what is his position now? I think he is being pushed aside too often. Is there a good working relationship between he and Mr Linton ? if so it’s not coming across. just my questions and observations.

  10. DNO are you serious?
    January 14, 2014

    DNO why are you allowing these negative comments on your website. Please remember that Dominica News Online is not just a website being viewed by Dominicans alone but people around the world. Is that the image you want to set for yourself? DNO the place where people can come and be anonymous and insulting? The place where Dominicans and others can come and degrade people, their country among other things? Set better standards DNO.

    Around this time, in winter, I do not think too many people are interested in politics. This is why election in these parts are usually held in Spring, Summer or Fall – Autumn. People are more concerned about winter and when will it end.
    The freezing weather we had in Ontario has passed for now. We had some rain which washed away some of the snow. Some more snow is expected closer to the weekend. The weather forecast is: we are having a January thaw which could flood some areas and basements of homes. I said, to prepare for another snow storm. :) I hope not. A few more months of winter to come.
    Let us hope their visit to Toronto will not be too cold and snowy. It may be colder than where they are presently.

      ok is it just me or is it that u r a bit ignorant of the laborites past and present strategies to get votes from ppl who live outside of Dominica. instead of handing out tickets and compensation , bribing for votes these guys are educating them so if they choose to participate in elections which isn’t impossible they know whats going on. ppl living or not living in dominica has long stopped being an issue when it comes to voting… HELLOOOO

    Tremendous meetings with pertinent information. They sure look and sound like men that are ready to restore our image and put Dominica on its feet again. Many of my fellow laborites are upset about the UWP taking their message out but the truth about it is, this UWP trip to the USA really opened the mind of honest thinking Dominicans. After all, it should have been the government of Dominica that should have taken the lead in ensuring that everyone understands what they are doing in Dominica. But you see, they don’t like to give account to anyone simply because they CANNOT open the floor for questions so the world could hear them like UWP did, and allow the entire world to hear and judge them. But when you have a government that does not meet with constituence and allow them to ask questions; A government that is afraid of a debate like Diab afraid of Dlow-bennie, a government that does not address the press, how do we expect them to come to the USA like UWP did and take questions? Furthermore, Dominicans did not vote for Tony, Mano or Hartly Henry; yet they that want to give answers and they that travelling with the PM. When will the PM take a DLP MP team on a foreign trip? So no wonder DLP are upset with workers just as darkness hates light because light reveals the evils done in darkness. Keep shinning team Dominica!

    I can smell CIA money playing a BIG part in trying to INFLUENCE the outcome of the election in Dominica. These guys are not even elected members of the opposition how comes they meeting with officials of the US government. We should send a strong message to the US government that we will not tolerate their interference in our domestic politics, by giving Skerrit a 21-0 thumping of the UWP. Let’s see if Uncle Sam will give these jokers their green-card after that. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

    My vote is warranted, if someone else takes on the task as leader for the party. The country needs a competent leader. Its not all about speech. What am I to tell my grandson, that he ought not to work hard academically for greatness. A solidier must be armed and ready at all times. For sure, the man with the most short comings should not be place on your frontline.

      Go tell your child if he or she does not get a degree he/she is doom to failure. Go ahead wonderful parents. Some of the great presidents of America, like George Washing, I wonder if they had a degree? I am a well educated man, and if it was not disclosed to me that Lennox did not have a degree, I would never know. I listened to him answered all kinds of questions thrown at him at the New Jersey meeting, and his answers were simply impressive – the guy is brilliant. So tell your child, even if he did not get a degree, that’s not the end of his education. Tell anyone of the DLP team to challenge Lennox in a debate.

    Hello and good afternoon my people. The first thing I want to say is that I never voted and I don’t have any intention of voting in Dominica because I don’t reside there. I attended the UWP Political event in Brooklyn yesterday and I was very impress with the candidates background and the way they explained their platform. This is the first time I heard Mr Linton speak and am impress with his command of the English language and his delivery of his party platform. He reminds me of public speakers like Mario Cuomo and Jessie Jackson. Overall it was a good start for the upcoming elections and I hope the Prime Minister and his candidates will come and explain their platform to us. I am a concern Dominican who reside in NYC and I hope to build my retirement home in sweet Dominica regardless of which party is in office.

      • January 18, 2014

        We.

        Hello and good afternoon to you. I compared Mr Linton to Mr Cuomo and Mr Jackson based on his delivery style. Mr Linton stood at the podium for approximately forty five minutes and he delivered a clear and concise speech without the use of notes or a TelePrompTer. He also dealt with facts because he is the head of his party and he must be accurate in what he say so no one can miss quote him. I don’t take any side as to which party should govern because I don’t reside or vote in Dominica but I want the best for our people.

    Any person or persons especially from the black race who in their right mind would want to try and disenfranchise another black person from excising his or her right to vote in a general election, after what our fore fathers went through to make sure every woman and man of voting age can vote are saying to me they are certainly not in the right frame of mind of what we human beings refer to as being in sound mind.

    This is one very important thing none of us should encourage or give credence too, IMHO.

    What else would they like to take away from you? First your vote – then what? Black people in what clothing? I wonder!! Think people think.

    I wish they would just come to Dominica and spend 1-6 months in Dominica and get a job and feel what we go through.
    I know there are some who come and after a week, they start bawling they cannot make it. People that is why there is opposition. The same North America you live in has The Democratic Party and the Republican Party.

      The building in the picture is the Capitol, Washington, the home of the U.S. Congress and our nearest equivalent would be the House of Assembly.
      An appropriate and symbolic choice, if I may say so since all three gentlemen, in the same photograph, seek to enter our House as parliamentary representatives. This is not a Palace and the nearest the U.S. have to that would be the White House, the residence of the U.S. President. Our equivalent would be the State House, which is unoccupied at present.

That question was not answered properly. In response, ” more people will be employed and they will pay tax and that will increase the revenue.” DUh, U tell these guys r economist? Come on fontain. I expected questions on economic issues to be better answered by Joshua and Fontain. POOR representation and made a fool of ur education.

      January 17, 2014

      Im no economist but I have studied economics to some extent. My interpretation of his statement is that when duties are lowered construction materials will become cheaper, but at the same time the govt will lose money.
      Because materials are cheaper, doing construction work will be more affordable. Because doing construction will be more affordable, more people will build. Because more people are building, more people, contractors, architects, construction workers, masons, will be employed. They all pay tax, so the govt will get money.
      The question is whether this will be more or less than what they get from duty.

    i HOPE THAT THE UWP commitee reviews its selection…there is alot of stuff which are unfavourable and truthful that will be coming out…as a UWP SUPPORTER from its inception and am a resident in NJ and a witness to the said event. I was happy that they came. I think that the reception was at best average to relatively poor. Too much lack of clarity and a clear direction The. There is no common understanding or consensus. They dont seem prepared at all. The legal analysis as to why we cannot come back to vote was not convincing,,,no reference was made to the many judgments of the oecs supreme court on this matter. I am happy that I went and I hope more people had turned up but clearly the fewer people who turn up the better for them because not many will be converted. Who financed this mission and how much much did it cost? Could the money have been spent otherwise for flood victims relief or to help rebuild our party; uwp ? Whats the partys position on beastiality, election financing, incest, marijuana , drugs, universal tertiary education, same sex marriage , buggery , death penalty etc

There is a high rate of school drop outs among the young men and Spags just pull up. I remember Rosie use to negotiate scholarships on his own while in opposition. I have not seen any concrete evidence of real negotiation for any thing from these guys. Spags wake up and smell the rain. U need to show leadership other than protesting.

    seriously this guys claim that they are going out there to tell people that they coming home to vote after staying out of dominica for five years is a constitutional violation,fine,on the other hand are they going to tell them also,that the last election skerrit,paid them five hundred dollars and paid their passage to come home to vote for him,i dont think so,because that sounds like grounds for a lawsuit,so what really are these guys objective,they can not be going out there for their votes,because most of them been out there, for over twenty years and more,so what is the real motive,is it to blacken the labour government name,which i do not see that helping their election bid,on the other hand,it’s not like the dominican people in these places,are helping fund the government,so what really is the objective,all the other caribbean leaders brought in their people from all over to vote,it was not corruptionally intended,it was a process,to make every caribbean person abroad be part of their countries progress and to encourage these people to input their efforts to help build their countries,no we have some wanna be’s,that think,the labour government is living the dream,and will go at worlds end to create choas,skerrit does not need dominicans abroad to win the elections,the majority happens right here,are they going to offer them big job positions,should they win the elections,what are they going to promise them,we got people here with very high qualifications,and can not find a job,a lot of these people ran away in the 70s they never came back,not even under eugenia charles’s government,because the government or governments here can not match the salary’s,that these people are being paid,state side,you no what i stop hurting my head,because this is so out of sink.

Capitalize the I in your head and as soon as forreal head stop hurting because the thing ended, my headache…. because I actually want to hear what some Dom-inicans are saying… Oh My God I am so Dizzy because I tried.

      The software is designed to automatically capitalize the letter I. But on line 4 in the thing above, it too was dizzy and refused to capitalize for-real. I should report you to Merriam-Webster.

      By the way, if it is legal, then Linton should scan the documents and upload them on their website. The net result is that no other individual can challenge him to see any proof of the corruption he advocates; and that he will avoid a repeat of what happened in Brooklyn.

      @ Forreal, you seem to be asking questions that you answer yourself. But let me try to help you answer some. First, UWP is not trying to blacken DLP the DLP government name. In fact if the DLP name or Dominica is blackened it could not be by the UWP because after all, if UWP accuses DLP of things that never happened, UWP would just blacken and darken their own name. On the flip side, if what DLP is guilty of accusations made by UWP then it is the DLP that blackened their name and the name of the country. In other words, if my brother was accused and arrested for a crime he knows nothing about, my last name would not be blackened unless he was guilty. If guilty I cannot blame the witness or police for ensuring justice. I MUST blame my brother.
      That’s the foolishness I cannot understand with you Dominican today. It was wrong with PJ and Eddison who never came close to what this PM is doing, but this time all you want us to turn our back. Let’s put nation before politics. The man is wrong and his deeds are awful. 1. It is a fact that when we recruited him into the DLP he had nothing but a teaching job. I helped to recruit him and all of us knew he did not even have a car. 2. It is a fact that since becoming PM he built the biggest house in Vielle case and probably in Dominica with an income far less than the cost of his house 3. It is a fact that he cannot tell the nation where he got his money from 4. It is a fact that in 2007 his attorney reported an error of over $51K, made by him on less than 3 acres of land. Here is how DNO reported that: “In September 2007 Isidore claimed to have made a $51,000 error regarding a transfer tax calculation on a 2.989 parcel of land purchased by Prime Minister Roosevelt SKerrit at Wall House.This was subsequent to pressure from the public on a land transfer tax evasion.

      The amount was later refunded to the Treasury.” The true owner of Villas is not even an argument anymore as all Dominicans know the truth. There are other truths I know about this man’s corrupt dealing but because I know DNO will not put out I shall keep my peace.
      The time has come for all Dominicans like myself, true laborites, Chistians and religios leaders to condemn these wicked acts because we cannot keep calling God’s name in vain. Our religious leaders better becareful God is not mocked. They know what this gentleman is involved in is ungodly but will say nothing. No I am not saying they need to become UWPites but they simply need to condemn all ungodliness of man instead of blessing and sanctifying evil practices and even to be partakers of wrong doing.

        You have written such jargon.Assumptions and assertions about somebody is not evidence of wrong doing regarding the persons behavior. It is sad, you have demonstrated nothing in your comment to prove anything awful was done by The PM.You have also said something very silly, in that you know certain things and you do not want to revel it,do you really believe you should be taken seriously.

        I’m not defending The PM.I just find that you did a poor job in presenting your case regarding The PM.I understand Politics for what it is and you have clearly demonstrated that through your comment.”The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary” quote H.L. Mencken

    UWP supporters in Salisbury, Morne Ratchette and Coulibistrie must be ashamed at the level of intellectual capacity of spags.

    I just listened to spags talk in BRK New York and I was embarrassed that this is the man that isprepresenting my constituency. What a disgrace.

    Besides butchering the English language, Spags don’t know if he coming or going. His ideas are poorly articulated and he needs urgent speech therapy. With the level of candidates that are emerging on team Dominica, UWP could do better in representing the people of my beloved constituency.

    How would this man represent Dominca on the Regional or International forum? Is this what we want for our children and their future? I call on the UWP committe to look into this matter and secure an aformiderble candidate to represent us. I am a UWP supporter and was willing to cast my vote for spags but I am totally disappointed in his presentation tonight.

    Spags, you just lost my vote of confidence in you. I need to find the Labour Party representative and evaluate and compare for myself. I just cannot understand why this is the best we can get when there are so many outstanding individuals in my constituency.

    • Not Me Alone

      @ Bawi in NY, why go this direction my brother / Sister? Spags delivered a tremendous speech and although I am not from Bawi, I am very proud as a Dominican. Why cast stones at others when you are proving to be worse than the one u criticizing? Take a look at some errors in your own comment: 1. Take a look at how ‘representing’ is spelt and NOT the way you spelt it. 2. You said, What a disgrace.? Why not, What a disgrace! 3. You criticized spags grammar but the sad thing about it is you said “Spags don’t.” What about Spags doesn’t since he is a single person? You need to stop lying. You are NOT a UWP supporter. You just showed us that you just HATE Spags.

    • Ohhh Dominica!

      It would be nice to listen to you for a minute to compare and contrast. You should be ashame of yourself for trying to bring down your fellow constituent in such a manner who is trying to make a genuine contribution. Spags is a bright young man and you are just jealous.

      Now of all the issues that were discussed tonight you apparently were unable to receive anything. This alone speaks volume to your very own intellectually capability.

      Spaggs is not the most articulate and definitely need to keep working on the art of public speaking. I must also admit that Spaggs has shown some improvement . There moments when he is good enough and other times bad or even terrible.
      The truth is though that this is the least of our problem in terms of effective representation and governance. There are many politicians past and present who are just as bad as Spaggs particularly on an extemporaneous basis; Skerrit is a great example of terrible public speaker particularly considering that he was supposedly an English major; Earl Williams was laughable (instruments) . Regiald Austrie can also be very embarrassing.

      Whilst I respect your opinion you should stop hiding behind the cloak of “I am a UWP supporter” because had you been, instead of focusing on Sprags flaws, you who would have been awestruck by the reveting performance and presentations of the other members of the team. I mean didn’t you hear the eloquence, thinking on the feet, passion, reasoning, emotion, wit and proper articulation of the way forward and that of the Dominican dream put forth by these guys. I am moved beyond belief by what TEAM Dominica is able to do in so pointedly communicate with the Dominican Diaspora and it is clear that whatever UWP is selling they are buying because they see honesty and transparency, the see hardcore evidence of in your face corruption and have come to realize that there is more to Roosevelt Skerrit than meets the eye. Change is coming my dear friend whether you vote for Bentley Royer or Nicolls Shanks Esprit. Just to wrap it up with you, what Hector Sprags John lacks in speech/grammar he has made up for with personality, example, community spirit, sincerity, honesty and integrity. I AM VOTING SPRAGS BECAUSE I AM REGISTERED IN THE SALISBURY CONSTITUENCY. Go to hell!!!!!!!

      @Bawi in NY. Listen to your PM speak and his sentence structure. He consistently engages in personal attacks against those who dare to oppose him. These are the things you should be embarrassed about your PM:
      Calling Dominicans “Unemployed Loiters”
      Calling the St Joe Lady who represents UWP “Half & Half”
      Saying “No law, no constitution can stop him from doing what he pleases”.
      Transporting Place loads of Illegal voters to come down and vote.
      Garbage Bin Bobol,
      Creating more dependency with his RED CLINIC,
      Lying about promising 400 jobs for the past 2 years now.
      In October he said Dominica doesn’t need an International Airport, but on Nov 8th he signed a $300 million loan with a private Chinese company to build a Hotel and “YES” the same International Airport we don’t need. The list goes on, but I will stop here. You should be embarrassed now! SAK SORT!

    Sometimes I wonder what one must do to satisfy Dominican’s political needs. With reference to the UWP’S American tour, I read comments such as a joke, three fools and a waste of time. Maybe if Skeritt Labor Government was as transparent as Mr. Lennox Linton and his team, many Dominicans would think differently as regards voting this lazy, incompetent, corrupted Government into office. Skeritt doesn’t even want to have a debate to express his Government’s position on certain development matters and the economy far less to be questioned at a press conference or at meetings such as the ones put together by the UWP.

Although he boasts of his 18/3 majority, how many times has he taken other palreps with him? We see him, mano who was not elected, one of those lawyers that was again not elected, and a Bajan who cares the less about Dominica.

      How long ago have u been to Dominica? You forgot what the road to the city, that is under the cliff in Fond Cole, looked like a few years ago? You forgot that it was one way in and out of Roseau, now we have two additional bridges!! God is indeed blessing Dominica but God certainly will not bless ungrateful people. Be thankful and don’t leave what you see for what u have not seen. Everybody will promise better but dont you think that we are on the right path to what development entails? No only in infrastructural development but you also hear of social, educational and even sporting programs to develop Dominicans accorss the Board. Be patient Rome was not built in a day but Rome was built anyway!

    Did you read the intellectual jargon – the stringing of a series of words that sounds nice but lacking in any common sense. This man is fighting hard to make a name for himself among the “symbots” of this world. When they meet in New York today, one of the issues they can cioncern themslevss with is how to settle the calypso fraud that has been levelled on a number of his Party faithfuls. That is helping Dominica.

    I am very disappointed in the people with small minds who continue to demonstrate their ignorance by posting things like ‘three fools’… whether you agree with the messages that the UWP members are spreading or not is no reason for you to use your small mind to formulate words like ‘fools’ to describe these men, who have made personal sacrifices and through continued determination and hard work – has educated themselves – very few of them if any, had ‘family’ connections to get them where they are.

    Show some respect for these men – doesn’t mean you have to agree with them and use rational explanations and reasoning for your disagreement – if you can’t do that, please say away from commenting on articles referring to any member of the United Workers Party team.

    And if any member of the UWP is using such derogatory terms to describe DLP members, please continue to exercise restraint!

      I assume you are deaf and blind. How else could you have missed the public forum at the Fort Young Hotel and the much publicized 21 in 25 campaign, when the UWP toured the entire country, visiting 21 constituencies in 25 days. They left he comfort of their bus and walked the highways and byways, the paths and tracks to humble themselves and listen to our people, from every walk of life, to acquaint themselves with the situation on the ground. What they found is alarming and they are reporting on it right now. Some of us don’t want to know, less we dirty our fancy shoes, and get contaminated by the abject poverty of a large part of our people. I don’t really care about red or blue or green but we must change if we are to create a more just society. One man is not God!

      I am sure they are telling them what a Great Country Dominica is and that Our Prime Minister and his Government are doing a wonderful job for the country and the people.

      And that they are a very good opposition party who supports the government when it does good for the country just as the Americans come together for their country when a disaster occurs and politics is thrown off to the back burner and people and country comes first.

      Does anyone believe that is what their conversation would be like? I would expect nothing less.

      Anyway when many Americans are thinking of and wish going somewhere warm in this type of weather; these people are leaving a hot country and it is not an emergency? Some, I bet had a really good chuckle and can’t take these fellas seriously. In that type of weather? Give me a break.

      If I am a Dominican living in North America in that type of weather North America is experiencing presently, when I get home from work I would not go out to listen to them fellas. I would stay home, by my fire place with a nice cup of hot cocoa. Is crazy I crazy then.
