WE NEED TO RENEW OUR COMMITMENT TO ONE ANOTHER

My United Nation Anguilla

A house built on a strong foundation should withstand floods and high winds. The Anguilla United Front government is built on a strong foundation of solidarity and common purpose - we are our brother's and sister’s keeper.

Yet even for patient and generous people, the burdens continue to be overwhelming. The world economic catastrophe has crippled our nation. There are countless problems remaining to be solved and a clueless brain-dead Opposition busy launching smear after smear loaded with lies, rumours and innuendoes.

But we know that rebuilding is an opportunity; a chance to create something stronger - a foundation that can serve as the rock on which dreams are founded.

Our focus is on strengthening the fundamental elements any community needs to thrive: maintaining local law and order, reliable healthcare, and an education that will give our children the chance to compete and succeed globally.

But to do this we must reject the kind of outdated, misinformed, misguided, visionless, disingenuous and clueless change on offer. These failures expose an arrogance in our current Opposition - a detachment from the lives of real people and an indifference to the consequences for the least fortunate.

To rebuild in the wake of this recession and get our country back on course, we need to renew our commitment to one another. We need to return to this core principle of our great nation by honoring our responsibility to our fellow citizens.

I am my brother's keeper. I am my sister's keeper. And that foundation is what makes all of us stronger.

Thank you very much for your support Anguilla.
