GREETINGS from New York! According to Governor Fitial’s State of the Commonwealth Address, the CNMI seems to be suffering from a “disease.” Supposedly, the Fitial administration is in the process of finding a cure for this disease. Our pain keeps getting worse day by day, and they refuse to give us any form of “medication” to relieve or alleviate the pain while we wait for the cure to be found. However, in his own words, “we are already on the road to recovery.”
In my view, this administration and the commonwealth are in no way on the road to recovery. Not with Howard Willens, Dr. Jesus Camacho, and who knows who else is on the payroll. Governor Fitial’s corruption is only making this disease worse. He’s killing us.
Nevertheless, I have some medication to help us, and I’m giving it to the public for free.
I’ll be coming home in about two weeks, and I’ll be back for about a good three months. I will be dedicating this summer toward alleviating some of our pain and suffering. I will be offering my assistance to the youth of the commonwealth, and I would be more than happy to assist any students with their college applications for next year as well as their scholarship applications for on-island as well as off-island scholarships.
I know that the application processes can be quite stressful, and I know that life back home is as stressful enough as it is. I know that times are increasingly bitter and that money is extremely hard to come by nowadays. I also know that college costs a ton of money, but at the same time, it’s important that we all go to college. I do not promise anything but my services and support of our youth and the enhancement of their education.
In doing this, I hope to ease some of the mental and financial stress on the students and their parents. Moreover, it is important to note that the commonwealth stands to benefit greatly in the long-run from a more educated population. I am confident that with a good college education, our youth will likely find the cure to our disease faster than Governor Fitial can count to 10.
As for me, I only see one viable cure. In order to get rid of our disease, we must get rid of the main source of the disease as well as the other things that help to facilitate the spread of the disease. The main source is Governor Fitial, and his puppets in his administration and in the Legislature are the ones helping him to spread the disease. Thus, in order to gain our health and our happiness back, we must get rid of all of them.
Governor Fitial is the same liar he was before and after election. He promised us better times, and he did not deliver. He promised us a surprise, and once again, he did not deliver. How then can we believe him when he says that “we are on the road to recovery”? Moreover, how can he expect investors to trust him when he continually lies to his own people? He has no shame, and evidently, lying is part of his nature.
All this talk about this recent war on graffiti has inspired to wage my own war. Actually, I’ve already being fighting my own war since you, Governor Fitial, got inaugurated. It’s called the “War on Fitial.” My company consists of 72 percent of the commonwealth. The different battalions include PSS, retirees, and many more. As for your side, so far all I see are the Tans and associates as well as some mercenaries like Dr. Jesus Camacho.
You are evidently winning the Battle for Bitter Times. We’re all suffering because of you. But let me assure you that you will not win the Battle for Recall. Don’t even think about coming to the Battle for Re-election because you definitely stand no chance there.
You’re supposedly too sick to fight for us in D.C., but all of sudden, you’re up and running to go to Asia. I know why though. Willie can protect you in Asia, but he can’t protect you in D.C. D.C. is the equivalent of “no man’s land” for you. You’ve seen what happened to your fellow comrades Delay and Abramoff who thought they could endure “no man’s land,” but only ended up killing their reputations and political careers. You don’t want to be another POW (prisoner of war) like them.
Maybe, it’s time you throw in the towel and surrender to our forces that are growing everyday. Trust me, governor, when I say this: this summer will not be easy for you. I will be back for three and half months, and I will fight my heart out with our people beside me until we get what was promised to us.
The way I see it, you have three choices. One, you can surrender now and totally throw in the towel. Two, you also have the option of running away to Asia. Three, you can keep fighting a war you will never win and be under constant fire from me and our people.
If you choose to go with the first choice, you’ll be doing us all a favor and fulfill your promise of giving us better times. Times will definitely get better with you gone! I don’t need a psychic to tell me that. We can restore adequate funding to the college and PSS. We can stop wasting money on lobbyists and conflict-of-interest groups like your son’s company. And we can have more than one light on at night and books for our children to bring home from school to read. Our vocabulary will no longer be limited to the word “taya” because, after you get out and we get more effective leadership who will actually bring in investors, we’ll be able to say “guaha” to our families, friends, and neighbors. We’ll be happy again.
Option two is quite tempting. It’s a good choice for you actually. I’m sure Willie will let you pick whatever factory you want to hide in or be head of in Asia. If I remember correctly, your specialty is exploiting innocent people and subjecting them to painful and almost unbearable circumstances as you make thousands and thousands of dollars. You’ll have no problems feeling right at home there; you’ll pretty much be going back to your old job. Isn’t that nice?
You’d be a fool to choose three. If you want to go with option three, I suggest you start getting ready because I’ll be home in less than a month. Enough said about option three.
Take your pick, governor!
By the way, I’m still offering free translation services to the Divisions of Labor and Immigration.
