** Joe, Short, precise and to point. You guys at STGDP are trying your best which some of us appreciate. I encourage you to keep up the good work you folks at STGDP are doing. You can't do anything to help those intend on sullying your good image and their scheming to derail the worthy attempts you efforting to bring varied interests in the opposition together. No one said it was gonna be easy. For some of your so-called critics as long as you guys don't say or do what they want which is to anoint their chosen party and its leader, *your efforts for this lot will always be a conspiracy. * I keep thinking since these lot have *already declared that the 2011 elections is in the bag for them why the continuous screeching*. What they should be concentrating on if i may is to work with their *Fundraising Guru with the large brain burrowed in HOTLANTA to raise some money and prepare for the celebration of their landslide victory come 2011. I urge them to do that and let us breath. * ** *Best,* ** *Mboge* ** , 2010 at 9:51 PM, Joe Sambou <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Suntou, let's cut to the chase.
