Think and Act local and global

Think and act local and global
Good work Mr Hunter. I agree with you about the lack of national debate and the last minute re-election carry-on by Members of Parliament. Of course it is all show in Parliament!
Voters must wake up to the fact that political parties (especially in their current one sided constitution) cannot save Samoa from global and regional economic and environmental consequences.
What is vital to the survival of Samoa is a ‘united’ sense of concern by the people (voters) for what is happening and will happen to their country in today’s global climate of world assets and resources (including Samoa’s measina) in the hands of ‘a few’.
There are global movements of people who are well informed about the global injustice affecting all countries of the world. Samoa now needs a global justice Mau Movement if we care about the future of our children, grandchildren and the unborn generation.
Start by looking at the soaring national debt. Ask questions about the real underlying reasons for the Land Regisration Act 2008 and the Casino Bill 2010. Find out from your MPs and if they don’t know the answers then you know not to vote them back next year. Do not accept “don’t worry” answers from your leaders. That’s not true accountability nor good governance.
“Samoa ala mai ma fai le fa’afetai i le Atua le Tupu o le atunu’u” sang the Manu Sevens. That was their driving force.
Ia alofa le Atua ia toe ola i Samoa le agaga alofa mo le atunu’u a e fulitua i le manatu fa’apito ma le fa’apitonu’u.
Ma le fa’aaloalo lava
