Here is a working draft of a five points manifesto for the Fonseka2010 campaign.
- Integrity: No to 13th Amendment or any recognition of ethnic enclaves.
- Security: Increase Army's strength to 300, 000 and overall military strength to 500, 000 men and women; consolidate the armed forces into a Sri Lanka Defence Force structure, thereby blurring the lines between the various forces.
- Prosperity: Facilitate an agricultural revolution by empowering small scale farmers and by providing state logistical support get their produce to market.
- Efficiency: Reduce parliamentary spending by 70% by decreasing number of Ministers to 36 and parliamentarians to 150.
- Participatory: Allow greater voice for the common man in the day to day running of the country; no to consolidating power within select individuals of privileged family(ies).
This is a grass roots revolution. Essentially, Sri Lanka's success is in our hands. We “the people” should shape our mother land's future. For that, we will have to work hard. We, ordinary folks, will have to work as hard as our valiant forces did in defeating the terrorism that plundered mother Lanka for 30 years.
We “the people” must begin with shaping the manifesto. Please give the campaign your feedbacks and suggestion.
United We Will Vote.
