Ms. Dagmar Christensen:
I could not agree more with your counsel to do more. Given that we are
all in different cities, countries and even continents and wish to
ensure free and fair elections, I suggest we recommence the
petion/letter writing drive and have our computer specialists coordinate
the technical aspects of the drive. Democracy has to be fought for, it
will never be given to the people on a silver platter by these
dictators.
We can send the letters every where and to anyone who cares enough to
listen. We must send one to Jammeh, Wade, Obasanjo, OAU etc.
Any volunteers to draft the letter and coordinate the technical part of
the drive?
