Today we must all call those we know in key positions and ask them to resign
and to urge anyone they know to do the same with out the connections yay is
a crab without a it claws harmless like a dove.
He will be forced by the use of love and compassion a grain of which he
hasnt.Mr. Jasseh is our historical land mark lets urge the civil
public to follow. There will never be a free election under this guy, we all
know that for a fact, why do we waste valuable time wishing and wishing lets
act and add more names to the list of people resigning.
Lets create a trust fund or something like that to help them financially if
need be but we have to fight with moral impetus to
depose this guy. Are you ready! Lets get action on the go!
Change does not come by prays alone we have to make that call home.
