This step is a welcome move in exploring the peaceful electoral alternative to change.Despite the bestial character of the regime since 1994 our people still refused to be drawn in returning the same dose of violence to ensure peace.We must respect this position and accelarate the peaceful process of develping the coordination of all democratic forces to make a peaceful electoral victory against the gambia regime possible in 2001. I hope that along with this petition we will develop the coordinating institution..we need to efficently study and define the AIMS, TARGET GROUPS,METHODS AND MEANS to carry the tasks of mass information and mobilisation to ensure mass participation in all gambiam communities in all the stages of the process. It is immediately necessary to consider the setting up of an interim group of volunters with a record of consistant democratic concern to invite and study the brilliant suggestions of coordination that have been surfacing in the different gambia media channels an recommend a coordinated way forword. To reduce the possible heavy load of work and delayance of targeted reports delivery dates, we can consider specialised areas of priorities necessary for the work ahead and assign it to committees or individuals.the reserve of intellectual capacity within the concerned gambians overseas is enough to define and provide the answeres required inthe word ahead. We have all rhe resources necessary to challenge and defeat the parasitic and unproductive but brutal and deceptive regime of beasts .now we are presented with a very good idea of a PEACEFUL UNITED ELECTORAL ACTION 2001 for all the democratic oriented gambians as the victory formular against the regime,we must not only sign the petition but must carry the work required to make it possible. It is only empowerment of the people through information and participation that we will guarantee not only an electoral defeat for the regime but also a no return to the undemoratic past which gave rise to the facist present, . _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe/subscribe or view archives of postings, go to the Gambia-L Web interface at: http://maelstrom.stjohns.edu/archives/gambia-l.html You may also send subscription requests to [log in to unmask] if you have problems accessing the web interface and remember to write your full name and e-mail address. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
