Christians revere the cross as an instrument of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The cross is also a symbol of sacred fire and of the sun, a representation of lightening and a symbol of the Aryan civilization. The Cross had tremendous significance to ancient Egyptians and to members of the early Christian church. According to the Jewish encyclopaedia, the marking of a cross upon the forehead and the chest was regarded as a talisman against the powers of demons.

 Introduction:

This report is written for one purpose: the victory of the national development project for Dominica as led by the independence forces arrayed under the banner of the Dominica Labour Party. It is required that we reconnect to the lofty goals of the founders of the party who led a mass movement for national dignity, social and economic progress for the common man from the period 1955 and onwards.

Dear Sir:

Dominica is a very beautiful country. It shares many similarities with my homeland, St Vincent, plus that little extra that makes it so unique; lush mountain forests, dramatic coastline, photographic landscapes, fertile soil and sea, an abundance of rivers and most of all, lovely people and a nice Creole flair to its culture. It saddens me though, to follow the developments which seem to be transforming this natural paradise to a hell hole of destruction at the hands of a few irresponsible, greedy and disgusting politicians. But why should anyone be surprised?

Dear Sir: The referendum of November 25th is now behind us. As was evident by the results, Vincentians expressed their dissatisfaction through one of the best ways in a democracy – the casting of a vote. We spoke loud and clear, our message was strong and decisive. The dissatisfaction after all the contempt and insults were bundled into a single mark on Referendum day. It was our defining moment and I am happy that God answered our prayers.

Like most enlightened Dominicans, I would much rather engage in serious debate re: electoral reform and the preservation of our democracy, than reading silly attacks on Gabriel Christian by Anthony Astaphan – A noted defender of the corrupt practices of the Dominica Labour Party.  Tony’s reputation of being a noted attorney is now reduced to that of being a puny intellectual and a self serving supporter of Skeritt – so sad but so true.
