PETITION TO PROTECT LIBERIANS FROM INVOLUNTARY LOSS OF CITIZENSHIPThere is power in grassroots movements, I believe! Liberians are once again going to set history by persuading their politicians/lawmakers to pass a law to gives dual citizenship status to all Liberians, no matter where they were born or what other citizenships they have acquired in the past.
Common sense tells us that if Liberians are granted dual citizenship (like Nigeria, Mali and other African countries allow), Liberia will return to its true meaning of a free land of Liberty, where Africans (including African-Americans and African-Europeans) can pursue their true dreams – to invest in and build their own country.
The largest and most important group involved in this process is based in the United States of America - Liberians in the U.S.A. If you want to become part of the history-making process, sign the petition here.

The recent arcticle: "Putting African on the world’s map in the 21st Century:Taking the slave-mentality out of black Africans" might attract some attention and even raise some eyebrows. However, I believe that people are free to express their opinions on whatever societal issue, as long as they don't incite violence.
I am also hoping that some of you will take off some time to send us your comments and/or opinions.
While searching Yahoo Answers, I came across Bono's question about how to make poverty history.
Let me first acknowledge you, Mr. Bono for all the efforts in getting the G8 countries make commitments to help poor countries out of poverty. There are a number of initiatives that are very promising, but...
If you're serious about ending poverty, you must be able to look world leaders in the eye and tell them the truth about the root causes of poverty and how these causes can be eradicated to make poverty history.
Some things you'll need to talk about will be to:
- find ways to end slavery and mental slavery of any form
- stop manufacturing guns and stop exporting them to poor countries
- ask countries like Switzerland about all the fat banks accounts of former African leaders and how to restitute all stolen monies to their people
- make trade really fair, and stop all double standards
- support programs that will bring about real people empowerment at the grassroots level - not hand-outs
- Consult these development organizations about restructuring development programs that will benefit the masses.
