National Alliance Flexes Its Muscles

The Emilio Wilson Cultural Park was electric yesterday throughout the afternoon. The candidates and a mass of National Alliance supporters captured the spirit of a true family picnic and expressed it with joy and exuberance. The organization of this event where some 2000 people mostly clad in the "A New Beginning" National Alliance party shirt was remarkable. As you entered the park you encountered hundreds of vehicles decked out with the National Alliance flag. Impressive! Determined! Daunting! Intimidating to the DP feeble offensive, I daresay. The atmosphere, filled with music and exuberance, teemed with the energy of an exclamation point. We are taking the government back to the people. Under the leadership of senator William Marlin, "A Man of Vision" who gets the job done, it appears already a fait accompli. Yes, National Alliance flexed its muscles yesterday afternoon; and what muscles - the National Alliance's drove of supporters exuded confidence and appeared to have defiantly slapped any attempt of intimidation away. The candidates contributed immensely to the family spirit at the Emilio Wilson Cultural Park; they enthusiastically participated in the chair dance with great delight. Taking into consideration the impact of the last ten days the National Alliance generated with its massive following, lead by the Soualiga Drum band on Postulation Day and the many cars, flying the National Alliance white, this chair dance could very well be the prelude to the victory dance, come April 20, 2007. It certainly does not bode well for any of the Democratic Parties, respectively under the leadership? of Theo and Sarah. You will notice how Theo has had the DP red color recolored with some black and white in between, to look differently from the traditional DP red. Maria seems to be following suite, even though reluctantly, by bill-boarding herself, as if she were a contestant in a beauty pageant. Sarah, on the other hand, is glass-casing herself along the road, some what inconspicuously in the traditional DP red. Now, if the DP government has not been confusing enough, this presentation of the DP only aggravates its situation more - as a wayward party. This evening on the O.J. show, it was again clear how clueless the candidates are about what lies ahead for Saint Martin. Ms. Williams, a nice lady she seems to me, and # 8 candidate on the DP list, answered O.J.'s kind question why she postulated herself as a candidate for the DP with "I believe, there needs to be a change, that's why". She wants a change of the DP government - DP is the incumbent government. O.J. with tongue in cheek, quickly moved on. I can appreciate the panick and desperation in the DP camp. This afternoon, I understand why. The formidable flexing of the National Alliance muscle at its Family Picnic at the Emilio Wilson Cultural Park explains their panic, their desperation. I enjoyed the event and I am sure the 2000-odd people also did. Let us continue to work together for Saint Martin. Let us remain focus and take care of business. Unto a New Beginning with the National Alliance!
