G_L,

I have recieved few e-mails regarding the use of G-L members on our
petition. Some very interesting points were made against using the name of
all subscriber save the ones who inform us not to use their names. As a
result, this petition will be delivered with "concerned Gambians Abroad" as
the signature. Suggestions and comments are welcome.

Thank you Cherno Waka jagne.

Regards,
MJohnson
