RSS FeedA Special Address to the Nation by Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer
Submitted by UPP Team on 11 March 2009 - 8:04pm
Tonight, Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer addressed the people of Antigua & Barbuda in advance of the general election.
He spoke of the UPP's accomplishments in the last five years. In 2004, Antigua & Barbuda was a failed state and a rogue nation. We inherited a country in crisis and delivered for the people. We stopped the economic free fall, passed a trio of good government reforms, and eased the financial squeeze on our seniors. We paid our workers, we increased pensions, we started School Meals and School Uniforms. We gave hope and opportunity to our youth. And, we grew the economy.
Prime Minister Spencer also believes in our plans for the future. Our Power to the People plan gives you the ownership of, control over and the ability to profit from companies that serve our country. We also will deliver the University of Antigua & Barbuda which will give our youth the education they need to create opportunities to build better lives for themselves and their families. There's so much more. Read Defending the Nation
Prime Minister Spencer also spoke of the opposition and the self serving formula for chaos they offer. They have not changed at all. They're the same party and the same people that took our country to fiscal anarchy and caused the people to wholeheartedly reject them in 2004. We can't turn back the clock.
The entire front line of the ALP leadership are defendants in court matters questioning their integrity and of accusations of corruption.
But, that's not all. During this campaign, the ALP used demonic images, called our church leaders "wicked" and "evil," they called our country to be divided into tribes and they called for "blood to flow in the streets." Not a single ALP politician condemned any of those actions. A vote for the ALP is a vote to give power to the discredited and ethically challenged ALP leadership.
The choice between the UPP and the ALP is as clear as the choice between good and evil. Make the right choice.
Watch Part I
Watch Part II
Congratulations on the job you have done in Antigua and Barbuda for the last five years. It is my prayer that you are awarded another five years to continue what you have started. Many of us overseas have never been so proud to be Antiguans and Barbudans as we have been in these last five years. We finally have a government that we can be proud of and not one that is constantly engulfed in one scandal after another. You have brought respect back to our beloved nation and for that we are very grateful. May GOD grant you the opportunity to continue to serve the people of Antigua and Barbuda for the next five years.
Dear God Fearing People of Antigua,
This election is even more important than it was in 2004. Antiguans all have to make a decision not for our own personal benefit, but for our children and our children's children. I personnally have for the past several days looked at my own children and with tears shedding from my eyes have vowed that for as long as I live, I will not allow my children to be governed by a government who does not put God as their guide and compass. I shed tears for the followers of the ALP many of whom are being used as pawns in the selfish greed of the leaders of the ALP. To them I say, let God guide your minds and hearts, do not allow the promises of easy wealth and fortune blind the love you also have for our beloved country and our children. To the leaders of the ALP, please for the sake of ALL our children, please refrain from trying to hurt our brothers and sisters, and also our comrades. We are all one family, we all care for each other, we all love each other as Jesus himself has taught us. Let God find His way back into your hearts and give our country a rest from your selfish and destructive greed. Please, go silently into the night. There may be some kind and sincere members in your party that has the country's interest at heart, not a burning heart. It will do you more justice to allow the ALP to regroup with decent people at the helm and with God as their guide form a decent Opposition, we all know that an Opposition in our country's Parliament is crucial to beneficial growth and development of our country. I pray that God protects all in this very crucial time , and I look forward to us ALL working together as ONE on March 13th 2009. Let us put our hands on the wheel and take Antigua, a country we ALL LOVE, to progress and prosperity for ALL,,RED and BLUE.
CONGRATULATION TO UPP PARTY ON WINNING A 2 TERM. WHERE THEIR IS 2,3,4,.............TO INFINITY.
LOVE U ALL
QUEENS N.Y
