This is a "shock and awe" view on the issues facing Liberia for past, current and future. The world really needs to keep a close eye on T. Q. Harris. This organization views and comments should not be taken lightly. It seems to me that they would like to see distruction to Liberia to serve their selfish individual goals. With Liberia on the road to recovery and plans to take the country to a new level, this organization claims that millions of Liberians share its concerns about the President, simply put I don't. I am calling on all Liberians to stand up and unite against the negative forces behind this organization.

I do not stand for violence. We can take our stance by responding to this organization through our voices. First thing is to pray for our enemies against the state. We pray that the power God will intervene and change their mindset to fight for positive changes and move forward to unite the country under the current leadership. If they feel so indifferently than perhaps when election time rolls around the can support a candidate that share their vision and views.

But it just seems like from their rhetoric, they're promoting violence as a way forward.

Thanks for your time

What is wrong with the statement by this Organization called "SOLDARITY&TRUST FOR A NEW DAY" (S.T.A.N.D)? We as Liberians need to wake up and accept constructive criticism and stop being bias. President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, did say on the British Broadcasting Station that her Co-Conspirator "should burn the country down". We as Liberians have to remember she helped finance the civil war in Liberia. It brought destruction to the core fabric of the country,which created chaos that took the life of approximately 400,000 Liberian and millions of refugees. She was elected by the people of Liberia, with the belief she can unite the Liberian people. I think the Liberian people took her to the task of rebuilding the infrastructure, social and economic structure of the country. With the support of various Organization we have some form of Law and Order with a spectrum of security and on going stability. The fact still lies that she has her hand in blood of the Liberian people, and much of our leaders in Liberia. Right now in Liberia as we speak unemployment is high, education is sub-standard, crime rate is high due to lack of security. This should be the administration priority, but it is not happening fast enough. The progress is slow. This administration took over a country that was ruined, and Ellen's administration is barely two years old. The leaders are well secure. They all have security personnel as bodyguards, while the Masses are left to fence for there own security. I do believe, in due time the Ellen Johnson Administration will get it right. Therefore, the statement by Mr. T.Q. Harris and his organization should be embraced as constructive criticism. We all know the supporters of President Sirleaf will try to criticize anyone with any criticism of her administration, constructive or not. All of us as Liberians need to assist with the development of our country, however criticism is only part of it. The question should be, " What contribution has each and everyone done to our community? That will help the Liberian government to alleviate social and economic strain on the people of Liberia. Please do not intentionally withhold progress and development, until the last minute to get re-elected. The Liberian people have suffer enough. Down with Nepotism, Cronyism and Corruptions.

Those who have doubts and questioned the capability and credibility of president Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf’s leadership of Liberia must be out of sight and very blind. Liberia is 100% better then 14 years ago. For those who want to become future political leaders of Liberia must wait to cast their votes at the next scheduled elections. Right now Liberia needs people who have a vision for the country and are willing to assist in the development process that the country is facing.

Now what?The Liberian Media Center (LMC) has called on President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf to honor her pledge to testify at the Truth and Reconciliation Public hearing whenever she is requested to do so.In the month of Janurary President Sirleaf did state "if she is ask to appear at the TRC she will appear". I remember when Mr. Thomas Woeweiyou, a former Senator of Grand Bassa County wrote an open letter calling upon the President to appear to legitimize the TRC hearing. Instead of the former Senator getting an applaud, Mr. Woeweiyou was demonize. Once again, you have another Liberian, Mr. T.Q. Harris that said he thing President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf does not have the capability to run the Country and she should appear at the TRC hearing, Instead of embracing this request by Mr. Harris, he is being ridicule. I personally have no doubt in my mind of the President capability of running the country. Whatever the motive of these individual may be, the facts still remain, that we have a Commission of Truth in Liberia. However, to Authenticate the Process of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, The President need to appear. But instead, she said her appearance at the TRC was going to be a spectacle. The President said, she would rather the Liberian people and the world reading about her Involvement in the devastating war in her autobiography's. This is were I am confuse. When is this book going to be written or published? Is this after or during her term as President? I think The President have to remember her book has to be written on her time, not the Liberian people time. Madame President, you was elected President not a writer of your autobiography. Therefore, if you think your book is necessary at this time, then resign and write your book. I think you should be devoted to the people of Liberia by doing the job you was elected to do.and so far you are doing good. But remember, you was elected President not a writer of your autobiography. It is a tough job you have. I can't imaging when you have the time to write about yourself without neglecting the Business of the Liberian People. Remember that the TRC was established for perpretrator and victim. Therefore, there should be no exception. The TRC is not inviting you as a writer, you are invited as an Financier etc, etc, etc.... of the Civil War that Devastated lives in Liberia. Writing a book at this time is not relevant to the process of reconciliation. So Ma, Please appear Ya-ah, So the others people can follow your foot step. The Liberian people want to know the truth. Lead by example. Thank You.

The internet now a day is for many Liberians who have nothing to offer to the peace process but sit on the computer and cover themselves as peace loving and productive citizens .I want to tell my fellow Liberians that there is and has never been a organization or movement in U.S.A call STAND .

God bless Liberia with everlasting peace. It's about time for Liberians to grow up. While others are fighting hard to rebuild our country, there are still some handful of people who are trying to destroy us.These are people who are literally frustrated by their failure and wants to blame it on others.For the majority of us who are trying hard to rebuild our home,we will not sit by anymore and let groups like S.T.A.N.D. bring chaos into our country anymore. Enough is enough.
