Certain, you are completely free to allocate your hard-earned money to those parties and politicians, who have taken such for granted, and have already made plans, that they will again, be recipients of your money for their political campaigns.
Traditionally, it has been the parties, and politicians, who have in fact sold out the people's patrimony who have been the ones to receive millions of campaign funds from often times bonafide business people.
But then again, we acknowledge that it is completely up to you, corporate sponsors, to continue with that tradition, should you so desire.
However, it is also up to you to take serious note of an un-mistakenly fundamental change in the air.
A 'mental' revolution within our society.
These inevitable changes are grounded in the fact that, the people have lost every bit of trust and confidence in the 'old guard'-politicians, be they DP- , NA politicians or Theo Heyliger of the UPP party.
Increasingly, more people are realizing that these soon to be 'has been' powerhouse parties, are all fundamentally the same; they are a political 'hybrid'.
Do not be fooled.
Whatever can be said about anyone of these parties, fundamentally can be said about all of them.
The fact alone that both Sarah WESCOT-WILLIAMS and William MARLIN , recently publicly admitted that, despite all their efforts, pertaining to the constitutional changes, they are completely unable to inspire, motivate enthusiasm in the people.
This inability signifies nothing less than a public denouncement and a very clear vote of non-confidence in how the current politicains are leading this country.
For that reason of course, they have denied allowing the people of St. Maarten, the right to ratify the final draft on the negotitaions with the Dutch Government.
If they though that there was still any trust and confidence in them, wouldn't they have allowed for a public ratification, like in Curacao and soon in Bonaire ?
Now, that elections for an expanded Island-council, are expected to be called, there are those politicians, who are already bragging how they have their campaign-funds firmly 'locked in' to be able to buy the votes of the people which has been their 'entrance-ticket' into their coveted arena of Government.
This attitude of taking you sponsors for granted, shows a deeply rooted dis-respect for your intelligence.
Worse yet.
It shows that these 'old guard' politicians also have absolutely no respect for the value of your finances, for which most of you sponsors, had to make very hard sacrifices to come by.
It will now be up to you sponsors, to make up your minds whether you want to continue being 'black-mailed' by the 'old guard' politicians to sacrifice your hard-earned moneys for any lazy, greedy,self-centered, lavishly-living politicians.
Or, it is up to you corporate sponsors, to finally choose to assist the new political grass roots agents of change for a social-just, stable and sustainable development.
While the choice will be yours, so will be the consequences most naturally.
Of course, we would welcome you forging a partnership with any potentially newly emerging young political movement, who are in fact not only in touch with the reality of change, but who de facto are the 'agents' of the inevitable changes to come.
In that case, by being part of the solution, you will have secured your own financial-, social- and mental investment and can expect an enduring return of these investments.
Being St. Martin's foremost influential grass roots movement, you can always count on our contribution, towards a socio-economic partnership as basis for a stable, safe and productive investment and quality-of-life environment.
As such, we can provide you with those who are the agents of change, and who simply wish to 'line their pockets' with your money to stay in office as well identify genuine agents of the inevitable change.
The choice is yours.
