Dear
Friends,
Thanks for visiting the Unity
Party (UP) website which we have established in order to provide you
with information and updates on our activities and political work as
we advance to the next general elections in Guyana.
First and
foremost, please understand that UP is dedicated to the coalition
process for good governance in Guyana and, therefore, this party is a
big open box with space for different personalities, ideas, ambitions,
and expectations. We have deliberately created an open box to be
filled by patriots dedicated to the cause of making Guyana more
beautiful, prosperous, and a place where no citizen should be left
behind.
This open box (UP) has to be energized by the young people
and their new ways of thinking, while at the same time cherishing the
wealth of experience and political know-how of the mature and seasoned
participants.
We have no time to lose in filling this Unity Party
coalition box as our country is at its highest decline now, disaster
is looming on the horizon due to the path that Mr. Jagdeo chooses to follow,
a path of
begging, borrowing, over taxing and out of control spending. Unity Party’s commitment
is to
change direction and follow a new path of building our nation, we need a new pride in hard
work, honesty, and to have an energetic government buttressed by
reduction of taxes,
cutting government down in size, and stimulating the private sector to
be the real engine of growth.
We need your ideas and your input in
order to expand this party to truly reflect a wide cross section of
Guyanese support which will lead to more inclusiveness and enhance the
coalition concept. Coalition politics combined with wise and creative
economic policy is the answer for Guyana’s quagmire in which we find
ourselves after years of mismanagement, corruption and lack of vision
for our beautiful country.
We in Unity Party feel that we do have a
vision for Guyana and as you revisit our website, we have no doubt
that we can capture your imagination and hone it into what we like to
refer to as: “an ever-expanding vision”.
As you glance through our
library you will see a consistent trend in my essays of commitment to
coalition politics for this country, of commitment to private
enterprise growth, of commitment to the unity of our people, of
commitment to our youth and women in their expanding role for a better
future, and of commitment to contracting government through major
constitutional changes.
We are fast approaching the next general
election and we need people like yourself who can contribute
for a better Guyana - with your ideas, energy and financial
contributions. Our people in Guyana need your
help, the odds are long but the prospects for
change are looking better and better every day.
Thank you again for
your interest in this website and God bless you and your family.
One love,
Cheddi (Joey) Jagan.
