To all Guyanese
A message to all Guyanese eligible to vote in the November 28, 2011 general elections. To reelect the incumbent is to say YES, we love the corruption, greed, incompetence, discrimination, murders, assassinations, dictatorial politics, drug trade, skullduggery, mediocrity, suffering, lies, threats, slow progress, in some cases no progress … which is currently the order of the day in our nation. … Continue reading
