Member of Parliament and leader of the NA.
This is a follow up to our response of Monday, Jul 5, 2011 to your email of Wednesday, June 29, 2011 in which you promise to meet with us.
In preparation for such a possible meeting, we respectfully propose you consider the following steps.
First of all, our grassroots movement is in no rush whatsoever to meet with you, or with whomsoever on the cause of the native, indigenous St. Martiners.
As a matter of fact, if all parties involved are not yet in the right state of mind, such a meeting might be just a matter of wishful thinking, because we are not prepared to meet for meeting-sake with you or with any other elected officials.
The state of mind we hereby refer to, is the genuine willingness and commitment to eventually amend-, or rewrite the constitution to recognize the existence of native, indigenous St. Martin people, the sacrifices made by our ancestors and to include guarantees for our existence as native, indigenous St. Martiners and rights to be 'first' at home.
As we stated before, if you Mr. MARLIN and/or any other elected officials anywhere on this island, feel some 'sacred' and/or higher calling to bend backwards to help- and reward illegal residents and their children - by all means, follow your heart.
As a mater of fact, in that case we recommend you feel free to even bring immigrants from Timbukto, Manchuria, or from other galaxies to the 'Friendly island' and to take on their plight.
That is no problem to us, although making sense, is quite another tale of course.
Where we draw the line in the sand, is that after you have 'doubled up while bending backwards', you fail or refuse to take care of our legitimate concerns about being wiped off the map in the process of helping the 'universe'.
Believe me, Mr. MARLIN, that will be the day.
So, in ending let us not rush to have any meeting just for having a meeting.
Rather, we recommend you really ask yourself if you are still willing to meet with us considering the steps/objectives, outlined above.
If not, no problem- be happy.
Certainly then the chips will fall, where they may.
Have a great day, honorable MP, Mr. Marlin,
Leopold JAMES
