I know that although it seems like a SIMPLE REQUEST the undercurrents are more treacherous than THE BOCAS. And I also know that BEVERLEY RAMSEY-MOORE will never come to THIS FORUM to expand on her campaign although once she is elected she will be GRANDSTANDING as the PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD GOVERNING BODY OF STEELBAND. And Trinidad is NOT THE WORLD, eh. For those who don't know.
So I am calling on my CANDIDATE FOR PRESIDENT to rise above the INSULARITY and begin his TNT MISSION by reaching out to the 20,000 members of WHEN STEEL TALKS with a QUESTION and ANSWER SESSION.
I chose to ENDORSE Keron Valentine for PRESIDENT OF PAN TRINABAGO on THIS FORUM because I think that he could be a WORLD CLASS PAN TRINBAGO PRESIDENT. So I am calling on him to move past the NARROW BORDER of the island and start reaching out to a larger GLOBAL COMMUNITY right here on WHEN STEEL TALKS.
I know the issues and I know the FALLACIES. I know that TRINIDADIANS in TRINIDAD think that THEY PROMOTED PAN GLOBALLY above the EFFORTS of TENS OF THOUSANDS of EXPATS who laboured in far CORNERS of the GLOBE -- PUSHING PAN.
THE LOCALS are wrong about that. And they need to start joining forces with EXPATS and working as a team to keep TRINIDAD and TOBAGO the MECCA OF STEELBAND.
So it is critical for MY CANDIDATE (Keron Valentine) to start building bridges between LOCALS and EXPATS right here and RIGHT NOW on this WORLD MARKETING BODY OF STEELBAND MUSIC.
It is important for me to state my priorities RIGHT HERE.
I am an EXPAT FIRST!!! I am an ARDENT SUPPORTER of the WHEN STEEL TALKS INITIATIVE SECOND!!! And I am the GLOBAL CAMPAIGN MANAGER of KERON VALENTINE THIRD.
So now that I have explained my PRIORITIES, I would like to invite MY CANDIDATE to come on THIS FORUM and tell us how he is going to BLEND ALL THESE INGREDIENTS into a LOCAL WORLD GOVERNING BODY OF STEELBAND!!!
