Dear Virgin Islanders,
Welcome to the Green Party of the United States Virgin Islands website. Your interest and curiousity has lead you here for a number of reasons but the commonality that is shared among all who visit is the desire to have a government that is honest, accountable, transparent and functions in a manner geared toward the good and betterment of society.
The Green Party of the United States Virgin Islands is a democratic party, however, we truly take democracy seriously. This translates into active participation of our constituents in matters that effect the territory as a whole. Wouldn’t you like a politician who keeps campaign promises? Wouldn’t you want to see change happen in your lifetime so that your children can receive the birthright of a better tomorrow? It can happen but in order to accomplish this, you are going to do something extraordinary. You are going to break away from a two party system that has dominated the political arena. You are going to vote GREEN and in so doing allow yourself a real voice and true representation in government.
This organization is still in it’s infancy and with that, plenty of positions that need to be filled for individuals who wish to stand up and take ownership of the problems that plague the USVI. The level of corruption over the years is as much unprecedented as it is cumulative, so much so that those who have lost all hope are actually counting on the FEDS to take over and clean house. This doesn’t necessarily have to happen but I firmly believe that the only way to circumvent this is to clean house ourselves. In November of 2012, we will once again be given a chance to effect change by choosing new representation for the people of the Virgin Islands but this can only come about if we come together, organize and stand unified on a political platform which will transform our home, immeasurably for the better. What I’m trying to say is that I need your help. I have gone through the motions of forming a political organization, that has a global presence, here in the USVI and perhaps at a time when it is needed most. However, the responsibility of taking this party forward does not rest on shoulders of one person; it’s all of our responsibility. I humbly ask of you, the people, to pledge support to Green Party Of The United States Virgin Islands to spread the word about this organization among all who make the VI their home as well as Virgin Islanders abroad. I ask you to help me find those among you who wish to not only effect change but come up with concrete solutions to our issues, enabling our home to renew itself and make the VI the envy of the world. A lot can happen in a year and a year is just about all we have left to either settle with whom we currently have in office and watch the VI descend further into the mire or take a chance on the most progressive, the most pragmatic and special interest free party in existence that stands only for the good and betterment of society. For those of you who wish to get involved in this movement, you may email me at info@votegreenvi.com stating how you would like to contribute whether you wish to volunteer on the grassroots level and spread the word, join a committee and dedicate your skills and talents in advancing awareness, setting policy, following the platform agenda and the ten key values to fruition, even run for office. It can happen but I think you’re going to have to believe as I do in order for this to work. We all have choices to make but there are some choices we simply cannot avoid, certain truths which must be faced and responsibilities that have to be met. Stand with me, walk with me, work with me and together bring prosperity back to the Virgin Islands.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Looking forward to a better Virgin Islands after the elections in 2012.
