UP paid for Today's poll.

Dear editor,

You are kindly requested to publish this letter for me.

This is to inform the people of St. Maarten that the poll published in the Today newspaper of Friday, September 2010 is a fraudulent one.
It was paid for by Theo Heyliger, backed by Richards Gibson, Ansari and other corporate sponsors.
From very reliable inside sources, I have learned that it has been completely manipulated and prepared in such a manner that mainly UP supporters were in on it.
I have this information from very good sources within the today company and from certain UP members who were part of this scheme.
It is done mainly in order to discourage people from voting for Jeffrey Richardson's CPA party which has been receiving growing support among St. Martin voters and others as well.
That is the reason, that Hilbert only focused all his negative progaganda against the brand new CPA, which is the smallest party, with no money, but with a very appealing message to people.
He did this instead of going after the two very large parties, the NA and the DP.
This alone, raises a red flag in terms of the anti CPA conspiracy executed by Hilbert Haar of the Today newspaper which is own and complete controlled by Richard Gibson.
In fact, this means that the big foreign business are not afraid of the DP and the NA, because they in fact are just like the UP and are not there to empower and protect the native St. Martin people.
This role has been championed by the CPA and many St. Martiners find it a very appealing message.
The Today newspaper also has been getting the feedback that even DP, NA and UP candidates are very sympathetic to the message of the CPA and are telling many of their supporters, to also cast votes for the CPA.
The so called poll by the Today lacks so much credibility that even Greg Richardson the # 3 of the UP this afternoon confessed to Wendell Moore, that he himself does not attach too much attention to it.
Mr. Haar in his hatred for Leopold James, who he blames as being the brain behind CPA, as if that is any concern to people, might have gone too far this time, when he mentioned that indigenous St. Martiners themselves do not care about being marginalized.
This is the biggest insult to any St. Martiner, on either the DP, Na or CPA party and can well backfire into the CPA getting even more sympathy-votes to send a message to all those who have no regards for native St. Martin people.
Our source also tells us that if the DP had paid more than the UP for setting up this deception, the outcome of the Today newspaper would have been quite different.
looking forward to this letter being published in order to bring balance in this matter.
