Stop dirty politics The opposition is part of and has its rightful place in a true democracy.

Our government has demonised the opposition using all of the licensed media and 'talking opportunities' available to it.

It's time all citizens stood together for fair, free and clean elections.

There should be NO race or religious issues raised (especially during elections) to cover up the faults and corruption of the ruling clique.

It's even mOre msu!,ting when there are 10,calleaders who say thlit to maiIltain the 'fixed~.depos,it' status more funds must be channeled to SOOah.
CIVIL Government as Opposed to a PoliticalGovernment We need statesman politicians, what we have are selfish politicians who only care for themselves and who want to stay in power "at any cost".

Civil servants should be left to do their jobs, with Directors directing their respective departments rather than be directed all the while by politicians.

Is The Government SINCERE?

Is it sincerely trying to solve the problem or is it the root of the problem?

Ifthere's nothing to hide why fear an RCI?

14-73, entitled: "A RESOLUTION REQUESTING THE PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERATED STATES OF MICRONESIA TO UNDERTAKE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE UNITED STATES REGARDING CONTINUING ELIGIBILITY OF THE FSM FOR PROJECTS FUNDED THROUGH THE AIRPORT IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (AIP) OF THE US FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION.

", begs leave to report as follows: The intent and purpose of the resolution are expressed in its title.
In 2007, the US Congress will undertake a review of all aspects of the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) Airport Improvement Program (AIP).

Included in this review is the matter of continuing eligibility for project funds of the Freely Associated States (FAS), which includes the FSM.

Past AIP grants have been instrumental in the development of the FSM and its states.
Most importantly, AIP assistance has been essential in maintaining and improving the safety and security of the FSM’s civil aviation system.

Substantial needs in these areas remain, however, and it is hoped that these might be addressed, at least in part, through continued access of the FSM to AIP grants beyond 2007.

Termination of eligibility would seriously jeopardize the FSM’s ability to keep pace with safety and security requirements.
The resolution in question calls upon the President to direct the Secretary of Foreign Affairs and other appropriate officials from the Executive Branch to engage in discussions with the US Congress to encourage consideration of extending eligibility for the FSM beyond 2007.
