ULAA Election- Why Can It Be One Man One Vote?

Subject: ULAA Election- Why Can It Be One Man One Vote? Tue Apr 29, 2008 2:35 am

As ULAA law makers converge on Motown-Detroit, Michigan, many are wondering whether they will finally make a decision on the 2002, 2004 ULAA Election LAW. You are all aware that the 2002 Election Law gave the President of each chapter the right to select 15 delegates to elect the leadership of ULAA. The 2004 Election Law as adopted by the Kesselly's Board and waiting implementation stated that the 15 Delegates should be elected by each ULAA's s Chapter members before being seated at the convention.

On the other hand, as democracy spread thru out the globe where the need for one man one vote has been advocated and has proven to be the most convenient way of electing leaders that will represent the dreams and aspiration of the their people, some of us attending the ULAA Board meeting will be selling the concept of One Man One Vote. It is our hope that other delegates will see reason in helping us to reform the electoral process in ULAA which will stop the election bickering in ULAA.

I want to state here that such a process is inexpensive and will at the same time promote ULAA to the average Liberians in the Diaspora. The One Man One Vote will also make Liberians in the Diaspora to feel more attach to the ULAA leadership. The time has come for all Liberians in the Diaspora to be part of the decision making process of ULAA instead of few people going to a convention somewhere to decide for the majority.

I hope delegates going to Motown will trash out the 2002, 2004 Election LAW and introduce a new Election Law known as the 2008 Election Law which will call for One Man One Vote..

How this will work:

· The president of ULAA will appoint Election Committee Chair; each chapter president will then appoint a member to the election committee.

· Votes registration can be setup in each State, $10 per person, with the hope that money raise can be use for a Relief Project (only member in good standing in his or her chapter will be allow to register & vote) …

· Have the early voting a week before the convention, have the election result satisfy by each campaign representatives and State election chair.

· Set up two or three debate before the convention (East, Mid-West or South).

More detail for One Man One Vote to come…….. Please forward this email to as many Liberians as you can….

ULAA only represents old Liberian peopo......This organization only existential purpose is to serve as an incubator for future political jobs in Liberia.... ULAA like the OAU is an antiquated organization without any real political or social accomplishments. ULAA needs to be laid to rest or radically transformed into a non political organization

ULAA is a voluntary,
nonprofit and
non-governmental
organization formed
on July 4, 1974 at
Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania, United
States of America.
The mission of ULAA
is to advance the
just causes of
Liberians and
Liberia at home and
abroad.

Just what exactly are our "JUST CAUSES" and have those "Just Causes" been advanced yet....??

Yes jclif. Infact ULAA has more work to do. Some of their leaders may have betrayed the cause but on the average ULAA played a pivotal role in helping to establish multi parties democracy in Liberia. In the United State, ULAA is now making sure that our brother on TPS/DED will not be sent home after it expiration. There are more work tobe done and i think with your superb knowledge of ULAA u can help make a difference bro. We are now taking ULAA in the social service arena. Where ULAA will develop program on how it can reintegrate or brothers and sisters coming on the resettlement program tothe US. More work to be done and more soul to save...

The only thing I want to know, when they take Immigration out of ULAA, what will they then advocate for?

Bellah, ULAA is an empire. The torch is handed down from incmptnt to inco....

I just posted the question on CCL! It's not clear what ULAA's function/purpose is! All I hear about are elections and all this political ranting..

ULAA remains a good concept but it is hamstrung under its own weight and at times by the basic organizational ineptitude of SOME of its officers.
