Dear Editor,
A round of applause to the JLP and PNP for bringing such a wonderful, once rich country to the grounds of poverty. The days of being able to go to the supermarket and having the luxury of choosing whether to buy mutton, oxtail, pork or chicken are gone.
It is time to look at where we are coming from, where we are, and where we're going as a nation. It is time for Jamaicans to speak up and make a move for a better future before it is too late.
Did you know that the Jamaican dollar was once greater in value than the United States dollar? In fact, in 1971 according to the Bank of Jamaica, the exchange currency was US$1= J$0.77, how is it then possible that it is now US$1=J$ 111.02? The answer is very simple, and a lot of Jamaican fail to accept what is the clear truth: our country has been mismanaged by the only two political parties that have been in government since 'Jesus was a boy'.

We have watched them demolish our chance of becoming successful individuals of tomorrow. How much more will we take? How many nights must we go to bed eating rice and pot butter? How many days will we be at home becoming BFFs with our ceilings, having no jobs to go to? The IMF approved a loan of approximately $1.25 billion to Jamaica, however, how will this be different from the many unaccounted grants and financial aid cheque Jamaica has received?
Too many Jamaicans have the same expectation, that the money will vanish into thin air with no understanding of what it was used for since we are in no shape or form growing. It is time for the Jamaican people to make the necessary changes, starting now! JLP and PNP must go now! We need new leadership, fresh minds that are well equipped and prepared to tackle all challenges with the Jamaican people's best interest at heart.
Let us stop for a minute and think carefully of what will become of our children in the next five years? What will become of crime rates in the next five years? Time is running out. A movement is approaching and it is time to get ready to make that move we have been waiting for since Independence. The youth are ready to voice their opinions and it starts with the Congress of Young Democrats (CYD). It is not politics, it's a movement to freedom out of poverty. Get ready! Tick, tock...

JLP and PNP caused our poverty
