We Dream – We Make It Real

Patriots,

When we started the People's Campaign on August 17th, it was only a dream.

Now, we are just hours from realising that dream.

This is we Sri Lankans.

When we dream, we don't forget it in the morning. We make it real.

We dreamt of wiping out Tiger Terrorism. Yes, we did it in May 2009.

We dreamt of wiping out Political Terrorism, of family rule and corruption. Yes, we will do it in a few hours.

Again the same hero who led us to victory over Tiger terror will lead us in the war against political terror. Patriots, put your trust in Mother Lanka's greatest son.

Join us and vote Gen. Fonseka for President.

You Ask – We Answer

Some interested parties have launched a vilification program against the People's Fonseka2010 Campaign. To counter this we will give answers to some popular questions.


Are you supporting UNP, JVP or any opposition?

We are supporting Gen. Fonseka to become president as people's candidate. We know JVP and SU also support Gen. Fonseka. But we don't support any opposition. Even some UPFA members and MPs support Gen Fonseka because he is the best person to lead this country.


Are you trying to split UPFA vote so Ranil can become president?

Ranil has only about 10% support in Sri Lanka. If we split 90% by half that is 45% each. There is no way for Ranil to become president ever.


Are you trying to split patriots?

We believe all patriots would support Gen. Fonseka. In fact, millions of people who love this country want to end corruption and family rule. We are all gathering behind Gen. Fonseka as Sri Lankans. We are Sri Lankan first. Party loyalty, language loyalty and religion loyalty are all second.


Are you working for LTTE?

Terrorists like to see this country under developed. They want us to be dependent on Western GSP and aid forever so they can bully us. We want Gen. Fonseka as president to end corruption and develop country. There is only LTTE in the diaspora now. We are their nightmare.


Mahinda Rajpaksa is a good president, so why Gen. Fonseka?

President Rajapaksa has done one good thing for the country. That is giving freedom to Gen. Fonseka to defeat terrorism. Everything else he did like Mihin are all failures. Also, we have 110 Ministers who are not needed in a small country like ours. Then we have Mervyn the vermin who didn't get a single vote from a Sri Lankan. We have family rule and also corruption. Gen. Fonseka said victory in military campaign was due to ending corruption and bad promotions in army. We think he will do same for country.


Will Gen. Fonseka as president be exposed to terrorist attacks?

President Rajapaksa has been well protected by army. Same will be true for President Fonseka. Unless President Rajapaksa has some special deal with the terrorists.


Gen. Fonseka is a national hero, he should stay away from nasty world of politics?

We want best person to lead our country. If we Sri Lankans keep saying someone has to be a crook to be leader of this country then how can we ever develop? How can we end corruption and family rule? We trust Gen. Fonseka is a good Sri Lankan. He will not fall victim to any desires like money.


How is Gen. Fonseka qualified to be President?

Being army commander is not about firing a gun. Gen. Fonseka's leadership changed the army. He ended corruption, he promoted officers by merit and he led by example. We believe Gen. Fonseka would do that same for the country.


If you have more questions please ask in comments section. Thank You.

Sri Lankans in Jaffna thank General Fonseka

Large crowds of Sri Lankans who attended the Nalur Kowil (temple) ceremony in Jaffna have thanked General Fonseka for lifting the curfew.

Last Saturday General Fonseka visited the peninsula and ordered his men there to lift the curfew.

The General who guided troops to rescue more than 300, 000 Sri Lankans held captive by the most brutal terrorists is equally concerned about the welfare of all Sri Lankans, regardless of ethnic group.

On Wednesday the Nalur Kowil hosted the biggest festival the North has seen in many decades since terrorism took hold of the region.

Many Sri Lankans who attended the festival wanted to personally thank General Fonseka for his proactive measures to help the people in Jaffna.

Five Points Manifesto – Draft

Patriots,
Here is a working draft of a five points manifesto for the Fonseka2010 campaign.

1. Integrity: No to 13th Amendment or any recognition of ethnic enclaves.
2. 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.
3. Prosperity: Facilitate an agricultural revolution by empowering small scale farmers and by providing state logistical support get their produce to market.
4. Efficiency: Reduce parliamentary spending by 70% by decreasing number of Ministers to 36 and parliamentarians to 150.
5. 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.
