To sign the petition , goto> http://www.gambiansonline.com/MRDGPetition.htm I also suggest other gambia-related sites to pass the word around. The Petition can also be printed, filled out and mailed to the opposition parties, i.e for those who don't have have online access. And yes, Dr Saine's suggestion cannot be ignored. Dr Saine wrote: "In addition to the petition, we also need a fund-drive to raise funds to give a potential United Opposition Party a fighting chance. The odds are overwhelmingly against them if they remain splintered." Well done MRDG. Let's keep the mails going comrades. This is the BIG ONE! Best Wishes George Sarr GAMBIANSONLINE.COM From: Abdoulaye Saine <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Petition To: [log in to unmask] Date: Jan 26, 2001 MRDGUK and G-L Community: This is an excellent idea and one whose time has come. I support it without reservation. Let the opposition parties and their leaders in The Gambia remember the fatal mistake(s) of their counterparts in the Ghanaian presidential elections of 1992 in which Rawlings split the opposition and "won." In addition to the petition, we also need a fund-drive to raise funds to give a potential United Opposition Party a fighting chance. The odds are overwhelmingly against them if they remain splintered. Cheers!
