		<description><![CDATA[I do not think the writer and friends have much of an idea what is required of a parliamentarian  at this critical stage of  the  history   Bermuda  has the need to have  people who are able  to form a  functioning government  other than a fixation on hope .

 Dream time is over !  we are now faced with many unsolved  problems . stop te complaining .
 I have said before  this election is about MONEY !

 Do not give us a message of hope tell  us as we hear nothing . show us ! 

We are the taxpayers .

 Even in good times the position of legislator requires ability  and workable solutions in order to be able to restore Bermuda back to it former glory.

 Bermuda needs answers dealing with the islands biggest check book from to day Bermuda balance of payment is not starting from a position of  financial strength, regrettably we  the people are barely surviving with  the exact opposite.

 Unfortunately ,  we have yet to hear  any workable platform from any body, not even those who sit on the wall. 

 An  independant thinking  person carries   the entire  weight of the islands  problems on their shoulders starting with lack of accountability, that  being the first step on the yellow brick road.
 Failure is not an option .]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unfortunately your snowball has already started to melt. You made a commitment to Somers Theatre a mammoth undertaking. You will be judge on that and how much work you do over the next 4 years. It all looks easy but not one independent has printed an action plan for absentee voting, gun violence or outdated laws. Which means lots of snowballs melting as this is NOT school girl or boy politics. We will be watching and waiting. We are also delivering boxes of tissues so you can greave and be ready the next day to show your commitment. We also hope to see all independents come to the House for the budget debate and stop looking at their cellphones  it is not school but the real thing tomorrow. Please show them. And like we say in Bermuda after we have our say....have a Bermudaful Day.]]></description>
