Dear Haitian brothers and sisters,
Please find the answer I received from Mr. Guy Philippe in the response to the two questions I asked him, yesterday.
Kindly understand that I cannot give my personal opinions, as I would like, if given more opportunities, to receive additional answers to questions I would ask the current responder or any of the other candidates.
The letter and response are copied and pasted to avoid misquotation.
But, before I paste it please read my response to Mr. Philippe copied and pasted.
For some reason my �sent message� was not saved.
So, I copied it and pasted it. Please read:
"Dear Mr. Philippe,
Thank for responding to my questions.
I shall post your answer so that all of our Haitian brothers and sisters would read it. Hopefully you will grant them the same courtesy that you have granted me if they would ask you similarly tough questions.
Kindly rest assure that, as a concerned native Haitian, I shall ask the other candidates as tough a question as those I asked you. Hopefully, they will find times from their busy schedules to respond.
Respectfully,
Max Sanchez-Martinez"
Please find below, copied and pasted the the email I received from Mr. Philippe on Tuesday, January 17, 2006 at 6:28 a.m.:
Salut
Il parait que vous etes du Cap, j ai connu pas mal de martinez et de Sanchez
au Cap; si c est le cas je te felicite pour le courage des Capois qui ont
ete d une importance capitale dans le renversement du dictateur.
Ideologiquement, je me situe au Centre.
Je crois qu il faut definitivement privatiser la Teleco, L Aeroport et EDH
mais je ne crois pas qu on devrait privatiser notre banque nationale( pour
conserver un peu de souverainete dans un mon globalise).
Pour l or qu on aurait vole en 1915; il faudra mener une enquete serieuse
avant de prendre tout decision.
Merci et a bientot
Guy

>Considered that you are among the most popular Candidates who want to

>Dany and
>finally, I also included Ms. Roy, Judie Joe C.

>the only Haitian woman, among all who want to represent their Haitian

>The shoe box was closed, shook and opened (this would be done until after
