My dear Supporters, Friends and Commentators,

I wish you a Happy and Healthy New Year. The year two thousand and eleven is a New Year full of hope and excitement for dynamic change in Guyana.  Life in our country will start to take on a whole new meaning, brimming over with a burning desire for change in the governance of our country and our lifestyle. It will be bold and inspiring even though the challenges are great. I feel a strong sense of courage and determination among the people to get out of the morass that we are in and rise up to meet those challenges in the knowledge that God’s guidance will permeate all our thoughts and actions in this year. We will make a transition from a life of fear to act, to do the right thing or to be ingenuous to a life that demands integrity, wholesomeness, freedom, respect for human rights, decency, the rule of law, neighbourliness, joy and family life values.

All Guyanese deserve the extraordinary things that will happen this year as they seize the opportunity to have their voices heard and to cast their vote for the promise of one of the finest governments they will ever see in their lifetime. It will be a government that will truly be for the people and by the people. I offer my unconditional leadership to the process that has started in 2010 with God’s guidance and your support. When I saw the increase of long lines at the GECOM building after the Awareness Jam held on December 29, I knew that we are doing the right thing and Guyana is about to take off to be the newest fastest growing country in the world. It will become the economic powerhouse of this region.

Let us be steadfast in our urgency to bring about change for the Guyana that we want to be proud of now. Let us choose love over hatred and murder, let us choose hope over despondency and failure, and let us choose Faith over timidity
