Step up, Harold, it’s now or never<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dear UPP,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enough is enough. Time to stop pussyfooting around. I have spoken to many people and I have listened to plenty people. It is time to get going.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s the thing. This social security thing is a wake up call. You are not going to get another chance like this again.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is what you have to do. Don\u2019t worry to call again for the Puppet master and the puppet to resign. You would get the same answer. Me nar move. Let her do her Bake and Brew and Let the sunshine In and whatever. That is what she is accustomed to. This POWA style social interaction with the women\u2019s forum massive has taken over the party.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is time to work around them.  Here is my suggestion.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Harold Lovell must get Richard Lewis and a small group of the well-meaning membership and sit down and start to draw up a plan to jump start the UPP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s either now or never. Gosh, jack. Listen to the people. Gaston is wearing them down to the bone. They are looking for relief.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step up, Harold. Take young Lewis with you and start working. Harden your spine and leave behind the ones running in the same spot and the wordsmiths who know all the answer in their head. Get tough. Don\u2019t give a fig about what people say about you. The red people will make you frath. Don\u2019t mind that.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This is your last chance, Lovell, the people are counting on you. Forget the nice sugary words. Go back in your mind to your ACLM days and how you fought so hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s now or never.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Had Enough<\/p>\n
