Comrades,
Frankly, I think these people are singing the Blues in the name of the
Holy Spirit. Take #1 for instance from their mission statement( link is:
http://pilgrimpage.com/aagttc/wcm/), " non-partisan, nonprofit, non-political
organization".They're kidding, right? Because if that's the case, why dine
and wine with a PARTISAN, PROFIT-DRIVEN POLITICAL organization such as the
APRC. I don't buy it that the mayor of Bajul was elected by the people. He
was chosen by his party, the APRC, KAPUT. So folks, I think we should start
sending our grievances to these people and their affiliates EN MASSE.
That's the American way and they know it is effective .
When George Bush Sr wanted to send a message to Saddam, he didn't just send
couple of missiles. Of course Saddame will be in a better position to tell
you how many he received. To Bush, message was clear and his mission was
accomplished. So let's fire our petition e-mails, don't matter if it came
from Farafeni or Oslo, just make sure you got the chance to tell Mr Ford
that your opinion matter.
We have to be as persistent as the Jehovah Witnesses. I don't know if some
of you are acquainted with these people but they make sure they knock on
your door every Sunday ans see to it that you receive their handouts. My
only problem with their perseverance is that they come back every Sunday.
But I heard their organization is having their annual conference at the
Hyatt and this might be payback time for some of us who've been victimized
by these folks. How about going to their hotel rooms and knock every single
door at 3:00AM in the morning just to make the feeling mutual. I don't
think they're going to enjoy that, will they? (o-:). Anyway, am just joking
but you get the point. This goes to show you that, in American, persistence
works. Even those who are irritated still get the message. I bet Stovall
can attest to this. What makes Ford so special?

THIS IS CULLED FROM THEIR THEIR MISSION STATEMENT. CLICK LINK ABOVE.
In April 1984, Mayor Johnny Ford convened mayors from far away as the
Orient, the continent of Africa, Caribbean Islands and from across America
in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, and organized the World Conference of Mayors
(WCM).
1. This global organization of mayors from throughout the world is a
non-partisan, nonprofit, non-political organization.
2. The primary objective to the World Conference of Mayors is to stimulate
positive and constructive relations between mayors internationally, based
on interlocking interests and concerns. Through a network of international
municipal associations, mayors and units of local governments, the World
Conference of Mayors plans, designs and manages an international,
intergovernmental communications system, promoting trust, trade, tourism,
technology and twin city programs and services between mayors and cities
of the world.
The World Conference of Mayors strongly believes that leaders of local
governments working together can lead to a more peaceful world and
facilitate economic prosperity for all. The World Conference of Mayors
has five fundamental goals:
Trust: To establish mutual trust, understanding, and respect between
municipal officials around the world;
Trade: To cultivate working relationships between cities which will lead
to maximum trade (imports & exports) as well as investment opportunities;
Tourism: To stimulate increased tourist travel between cities of the world;
Technology: To foster the exchange of technical assistance, expertise and
information to mutual benefit of local governments;
Twin Cities: To establish twin or "sister" city relationships which will
focus on cultural and educational exchange, thereby promoting goodwill
among men.
