Sister Jabou and other G-Ler's, we owe members and supporters of MRDG [UK]
and leaders of various opposition party leaders and representatives, that
attended the London meeting, a high five or ten for all their efforts.
KUDOS/NJARAAMAH/ABARAKA/JAEREH JAEF.
As Sister Jabou inquired, MRDG[NY] had a meeting today and this issue was the
third item on the agenda. Congressman Payne's Sixth Annual Dinner is next
week and the Movement is sending two members to the $175/person gala.
Perhaps, you, Katim, Joe and others can help structure such a forum with
selective Members of Congress or Senate, especially, those on African Affairs
Committees.
A follow up letter of inquiry into the status of Gambians residing abroad
voting during elections, is being sent to the Chairman of IEC. As
disenfranchised citizens yearning to get involved in the electoral process
and support of opposition parties, one of our erudite elder member of the
Movement, did an impromptu survey of about twenty Gambians regarding funding
of causes such as: voting and financial support of opposition parties. Out of
the twenty, seventeen pledged $50 and the rest $25 each. A campaign to have
each Movement member solicit pledges of $25 and up from ten Gambian friends
or family and canvassing door-to-door, will surely make a big difference. A
duplication of such a campaign by concerned Gambians in the USA and
elsewhere, individual or organizational, would for sure make us a force to
reckon with.
