This The orignal guest who posted this topic Lapired Louverture, guys I am really glad everybody shares the same view point  without fighting about it. This what we should be doing most of the time.We can have disagreements but we should not be at each other's trhoat because they think different.Pascal,the honor is to you man  for creating this base where  we can sound off.Now let's get back to Navassa,  first  we are not just going  to call Uncle Sam  thief yet eventhough we know they are. Let's mobilize  with petitions, call the  Haitian Consular office  in DC or New York,  then gather some  allies behind us  like Al Sharpton, Johnie Cochran, plus other international  figures.Write letters to the Haitian media,American media, Dept of Interior Secratary Ms. Gale Norton.Do not take we are not potically or economically ready for an answer.  When are we going to be ? Then we should plan to prepare and prepare to plan the future of the island.Conservacy should  a major point, Eco-tourism   and no major constrution beside a small resort, landing  space,  scientific labs , and  an aquarium.Eventhough they don't  to give it up, they have to at least compesate us for it.
