Message to my fellow Lebanese

I am a candidate for parliament in the 2009 elections. If elected, I plan to focus on developing agriculture and tourism in all the needy areas of our beloved Lebanon.

My ambition is to implement my political agenda for change and reform.

I believe there is no hope for real change in Lebanon except by establishing several non-sectarian parties that would group the Lebanese in the framework of a healthy political environment.

To begin this long and hectic journey, I intend to a form along with those who share me the belief in a Lebanon devoid of the sectarian culture, a political party aiming at unifying the will of the Lebanese.

I intend to call this party the 'Loyalty to Lebanon Movement', with the hope of regenerating Lebanon the way cedar trees grow into eternity.

The new party will be for all Lebanon and for all the Lebanese at home and abroad. Lebanon is not confined to its current geographic border, because since time immemorial it has crossed all borders and dimensions, thanks to the Lebanese dynamism and courage. I ask all   to join this Movement, and work together to create the new Lebanon we long for.

Lebanon has been suffering and will continue to suffer unless we all move hand in hand to save it before it is tool late.

It gives me great pain to observe that the officials who were entrusted with helping, for instance, the inhabitants of the Baalbeck-Hermel region did not do much to alleviate the sufferings prevailing in this area, neither did they do much to help those living in equally dire conditions in areas like Akkar and south Lebanon.

It is also more regrettable to observe that, from a practical point of view, the Shiite community has been lacking in representatives on the governmental and parliamentarian levels - representatives who should have placed public interest over and above the narrow interests of their parties and private circles.

I need justice to prevail for all the Lebanese, particularly those who fell victim to the blunt egoism that branded Lebanon's political life. 

I want to dedicate myself to fighting corruption, not only in governmental circles, but also to help stop the corruption tradition from spreading among the Lebanese, particularly the young generation.

I have outlined my ideas regarding agriculture and tourism. I am a serious candidate for the parliament. I believe this responsibility would grant me the chance to serve my fellow Lebanese.

A special salutation is also due to my readers over the internet, to whom I pledge to make my web site a source of information to help them understand the reality of what is going on at all times.

In this regard, I wish to confirm my believe in the importance of knowledge exchange and its use in the present era. I therefore consider that our strive, in this domain, is for the sake of communication and integration among nations and peoples. This will undoubtedly result in serving mankind, human safety and security. I am also keen that such continuous contribution will push into achieving the human right for food and sound environment - as per UN Declaration - and for human beings to defeat hunger and poverty to eventually achieve national and global food security Providing current and accurate information, as soon as it is available, is an integral part of the commitment to the Internet users, in order to facilitate the use of information in an accurate, effective and comprehensive manner.

I would like to remind those passionate seekers of knowledge, via the Internet, of the importance of their role, as an elite group which is aware of the importance of agriculture, in achieving food security and in providing clean and sound environment for the inhabitants of this Planet. I urge you to play a leading role and to take initiatives aimed at preserving natural resources and prevent their exploitation and deterioration. Humankind's mercy on nature is ultimately mercy on himself. Finally, we would like to wish all those navigators through the new horizons of knowledge, including fellow Lebanese, enjoyable discoveries of new Worlds that are beneficial to them and to humankind.
