Wachiya!

As you know, there will be a RUN-OFF ELECTION on July 30th 2009 to decide who will be the next Grand Chief of the James Bay Cree Nation. The advance poll will be held on on July 29th.

If you voted for me on July 15th, miigwetch! I am honoured to have received your trust and support, and I am asking you to vote for me again in the run-off.

If you voted for another candidate on July 15th, no problem, but this time I invite you to vote for me!

Our Nation and our People are now at a historic Fork in the River. We face many serious Challenges. We also have unprecedented Opportunities.

I believe I am the ONE CREE LEADER with the necessary Experience, Leadership, Vision, and Record of Achievement to ensure that we Crees are the dominant players in Eeyou Istchee -- and that our voice as People is heard once again, across Canada and internationally.

The CHOICE IS CLEAR. On July 29 / 30, vote "COON COME FOR GRAND CHIEF”.

The wind is at our backs. The momentum is there. Together, we can achieve anything!

Eegoodeh!
