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.
