NATIONAL COMMITTEE Collins-Poah Team R.U.S.H Grand Gedeh Association in the Americas, Inc. • TEAM R.U.S.H PRESS STATEMENT • June 4, 2011 • Fellow compatriots, • A week ago, Team R.U.S.H was charged with the responsibility of governing our Noble Association to a nobler destiny. Your overwhelming support and mandate catapulted us to the top in a three way race in the just ended GGAA INC 21ST CONVENTION in Worcester Massachusetts. Indeed we are very grateful for the overwhelming support and mandate given us. • We want to say thanks to all our supporters and well wishers for the continuous show of support and commitment to the cause of our county and people. • Team R.U.S.H especially extends our heartfelt greetings, salutations and best wishes to our brothers and sisters from Teams “DADUOA and UNITY” for their graceful, graceful concession speeches and subsequent phone conversations and press releases committing themselves to the cause of our county and pledging support to the “R.U.S.H Administration of the GGAA. Not only do their statements provide a way forward, they prove our resiliency and unity in our diversity. We say bravo Fred and bravo Annie. We also would like to commit and assure you that, you will be an integral part of our Administration and its decision making. • To our elders and former Statesmen, we say thank you for your services and dedication to transparency and rule of law. We shall always call upon you for your wisdom and leadership during critical times. • Fellow Compatriots, it is only befitting to thank the Elections commission immensely for the sacrificial and credible manner in which the elections were held. The standards of these elections surpasses all others to a larger extent that, we recommend that the Chairman and his Members outline in a report for futurity their approach and considerations outside of the elections guidelines that were used. • We are very grateful to the outgoing KannahAdministration, the Board of Directors, Chapters Leaderships, all Sectional Associations and Youth Groups for keeping our Union together in difficult and troubling times. Our commitment in working with you for a smooth transition cannot be over emphasized. • As we prepare to transition from a campaign committee to that of a National Administration, we want especially thank our many many R.U.S.H supporters for their dedication, commitment to the “JFK MOMENT” to do for our county and people what is befitting of a true son and daughter of Grand Gedeh County. We say thank you, but our work have just begun. Our platform; “Plan Restoration” must take precedence over all with emphasis on Grand Gedeh and our Membership. • We are therefore calling on all R.U.S.H Members to call in to a major teleconference on Saturday, June 04, 2011 at 9:00pm • Eastern/8:00pm Central.
