                  My fellow Africans and Concerned Citizens

Greetings again. I was up  like many of you last night to witness the process of the greatest democracy in the world unfold before my eyes! I was very observant how the election results were flowing in from the different States and Counties up to the point where President Obama was proclaimed the winner  of the Presidential election without any complaints of rigging or election fraud. What a smooth process of democracy. I am envious and inspired, and even more embolden to fight for democracy for our country, Cameroon.

I write to sincerely congratulate President Obama and all the Obama people for their well deserved victory through  free and fair elections. I am humble  and inspired by his victory and most importantly for the American democratic process, which is still a nightmare in our country, Cameroon. In October 2011, dictator Paul Biya of Cameroon attempted to hijack our civil rights and destiny by organizing a fraudulent and fake Presidential elections in , which his Supreme Court declared him the winner about one week afterwards. Imagine the difference! When election results are declared on the same day  in the USA , in Cameroon it took over one week before we knew who was the fake and fraudulent winner! God Bless America , after all.

I look forward to working with President Obama to kick dictator Paul Biya out of Power in Cameroon and to open a new chapter in the history of Cameroon with a new generation of decent and responsible citizens. May I also congratulate those of you who exercised your civic responsibility and voted according to the character  of the candidates as well as from your conscience. We will continue to celebrate the Civil Rights Movement and work even harder to make sure that Africa lives to benefit from the same ideals and principles that are currently shaping American diverse democratic society.

Lastly, I also sincerely thank Governor Mitt Romney for his very genuine and gracious concession speech in ,which he called for all Americans to come together and continue to celebrate the enduring values of America. Without Governor Mitt Romney and his people, we will not measure the true strength and largesse of American democracy. In a democracy all people have the right to participate as well as the right to support whoever they want otherwise anything short of this will be dictatorship like in Cameroon . Now, that we have one President, we will all rally behind President Obama in the true spirit of humanity and love for country to promote our common good.

I urge all of you to remember that now is the time to reckon with the verdict of the voters and the voice of the people have been loud and clear as to who  is President. All Romney 's supporters remain American citizens and as we brace for an Obama second term, the struggle through the democratic process in getting things done continues and most importantly, I am more focused on US foreign policy in my country, Cameroon.

Now, is the time for dictator Paul Biya to go because it is ridiculous for a dictator to stay in power for 30 years while Americans are electing new Presidents every 4 or 8 years.

I count on your support to win the support of President Obama  in ousting dictator Paul Biya out from power for good.

To God be the Glory and oncemore congratulations to President Obama , First Lady Michelle Obam and to their two beautiful daughters .I wish them well.

My fellow Africans and concerned citizens

Today is a very critical day in the history of American democracy. Please, do not fail to stand up to your vote , character and conscience. Let nobody intimidate you to give up these three important assets as a free citizen with a free will.

We have all come to learn and interpret American politics in  the best way we understand it , perhaps according to our personal belief system and values.

Yet, it boils down to making our voices heard at the ballot box as much as we influence our peers to vote in one way or the other. If you are eligible to vote, I urge you to make sure you cast your vote especially in the Swing States , which will ultimately determine the winner of the US Presidential race

Most importantly, vote according to the character of the candidates from your conscience in order to fulfill the dream of freedom  and right to vote brought about by the  Civil Rights Movement.

The Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr believed that all people regardless of color or race should be judged by the content of their character and not by the color of their skin or appearance!

He did not call for REVENGE  in any civic responsibility like people exercising their civic responsibilities. 

Voting is a patriotic commitment ,which one is entitled to under law so long as  you're a legal citizen of a given country at the time of voting and also have attained the rightful age  to vote under the laws of eligibility.

Therefore, we should not vote with anger or with any intent to revenge because the American dream is bigger than individuals and political parties.

The founders of America had an idea about what they wanted and even though in some ways they fell short of  moral expectation, the Civil Rights Movement under Rev Dr Martin Luther King   Jr rejuvinated the ideals of the Founders and most importantly captured God's eternal plan for the freedom of all people including blacks and Whites.

The moral responsibility is falls squarely on black people who must preach and practice racial justice and reconciliation among white people to continue demonstrating the spirit of the beloved community

No matter the outcome of this very important elections, America will remain a great nation and those who are bitter or going in for any election with the intent to revenge are certainly  on the wrongside of history . 

GO OUT AND VOTE CHARACTER  FROM YOUR CONSCIENCE  AND NOBODY SHOULD FORCE YOU  TO VOTE AGAINST YOUR CONSCIENCE.

I am reminded of President Abraham Lincoln during his Gutenberg address in 1863

"This nation( United States)  under God has a new birth of freedom and that government of the people for the people and by the people shall not perish..."

Long Live freedom and democracy in America, the beacon of light in our turbulent world

Amen
