Alison Tate ;Queries on (ACTIVIST
Dear Alison
This is my fourth email that sent to you.Yet there is no reply so far from
you. It is hard to believe that you did not receive them all.
Having a little courtesy or a little democratic notion that would have at
least make you to reply as to why you are not able to answer my questions.
I believe my questions are of valid, fair and democratic.Again I am sending
those for everyone to see it.
Alison, just a little reminder that we are a new age democrats we base on a
grassroot level involvements. We stand on democractic principles and we
question our leaders anything at anytime. We do not give no body no blank
cheque no more.
New era of democracy is born in the world.
Please answer my questions.Ignoring it will neither do you any good nor go
away.
Best wishes
panyoma ( Benya Aye )
Syd.Aust.
