YOUTH VOTE PERSON NOT PARTY!<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

Youth worldwide are vexed with the world of incoherent adults acting like children. Youth reacting are killing each other until they are old enough to kill the adults, while young enough to get away with it.<\/p>

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

The opportunity now arises to use their vote to kill the madness of adults gone wild, in their drunken power wielding and openly corrupt activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The time is come for all those who object to the way our own Antiguan people are held back from progressing to VOTE PEOPLE NOT PARTY! The entire country knows who is good, and who is bad, and the time is now to choose wisely.<\/p>

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

Forget the Party which forgets you once you have given them power, but vote for the better man on the ballot. People power is the gift for one day in what is supposed to be a five year term, now shrunk to three.<\/p>

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

The youth of the nation as the largest voting category could easily control the vote as their numbers suggest, if they could only be rallied to register and vote Person rather than Party. Force the Parties to respect the People with the Youth Vote!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The disrespect for the youth of this country is only second to the way the born Antiguans are ignored, in preference to those brought to our country as overlords, crippling the ambitions of our young.<\/p>

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

Recently we saw a youth propelled by brainstorming the best way to contribute to his country, getting scholarships where his college professors helped his eagerness to progress. Universities sent him around the world to see firsthand how he could help his country, only to return to this island slap-down by corrupt management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This push back by Government placed management, usually not Antiguan people, is punishing our educated youth for their eagerness to push our island forward with new techniques learned, and needed.<\/p>

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

When young people become energized in building their country, the must be embraced and encouraged, not made to feel useless, and get shot down by corrupt managers, who fear being exposed and their personal graft interrupted.<\/p>
