To the government of the Commonwealth of Jamaica, West Indies:
please heed our cries to put an end to the violence and bizarre crimes taking place in our country.
Whether there are to be curfews enforced by tanks, bringing back hanging, just whatever it takes without bloodshed to end this pitiful condition of our country.
The citizens there now and us foreign want to take it back to a state of peace, glory and pride..
This has nothing to do with the political parties, it is us as a people on the whole who want to live in harmony and peace together,
Perhaps more foreign would return if Jamaica got itself back together again as a whole entity proving our motto 'Out of many one.' As this may not be said now in any way,shape or form.
Please open your ears, eyes and mouths together as one and get our home back as ONE!

I am very happy to hear of such a group coming forward to pray for our land of Jamaica. We need to lift up prayers and more prayers to our great God to fight on our behalf. Our prayers will move mountains in the spiritual world, it will make holes in the spiritual world that is fighting hard to keep down our beautiful country - Jamaica and its people!

This is so necessary. We need to take our country back from these hands of violence ....Greta you know how strongly I feel about this .

Daniel Wisdom

I was called to pray for Jamaicain the mid 70-s and Jamaica is still the land I love. I still believe that the destiny of our country lies in the will of Christians and not in our political leaders. I still believe in 2 Chronislce 7:14 and try to practice it.

PLEASE I AM BEGGING YOU TO OPEN YOUR WALL FOR A DAY AND DO WHAT I DO PUT UP PARAMETERS SO THAT YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO SEE BEFOREHAND WHAT YOU LET GET POSTED.THEN JUST CLOSE IT BACK DOWN AGAIN. FB CAN BE BOTHERSOME I AM WELL AWARE OF THAT. HENCE CLOSED WALLS LEAVES LESS SOCIAL INTERACTION AND THAT IS BASICALLY WHAT ITS PURPOSE IS.

THIS PETITION IS OF THE UTMOST URGENCY AND I THINK WE CAN OBTAIN WELL OVER THE AMOUNT OF SIGNATURES WE ARE AIMING FOR THE MORE THE BETTER.

PASSIVE RESISTANCE MAY WORK. NO NEED TO BRING IN OTHER COUNTRIES THIS IS OUR PROBLEM AND WE MUST BE TALLAWAH AS WE ARE KNOWN TO BE. JUST MAKE IT UP IN YOUR MIND THAT THIS MAY BE DONE, EVEN SOONER THAN LATER. WE JUST HAVE TO PUT OUR HEADS TOGETHER, REFLECT, PRAY AND HUSTLE TO GET SIGNATURES ON THE PETITION.
HAVING SOME CONTACTS IN MEDIA HERE, WE MAY FORCE THE GOVERNMENT OF JAMAICA TO FINALLY TAKE A STANCE AND SUPPORT ITS PEOPLE FOR A CHANGE.

AS I ORIGINALLY SAID THIS IS NOT A MATTER OF POLITRICKS OR PARTY LINES, RATHER ALL WORKING TOGETHER AS HUMAN BEINGS TO SOLVE A CONTENTIOUS, HORRIFIC SITUATION WE HAVE LET THE COUNTRY PUT OURSELVES IN FOR NOT SPEAKING UP AS A WHOLE...NO MATTER IF YOUR EITHER PARTY THAT IS NOT OF IMPORTANCE, OUR CHILDREN AND LIFESTYLES ARE.

SO PLEASE LET US PRAY, SIGN AND INVITE FOR THE GOOD OF JAMAICA!

I THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME,

ONE BLESSED LOVE,<3.

We ALL agree that something has to done to restore SANITY and more peaceful living in JAMAICA! But I don't think HANGING has to be re-instituted! Had a DEEP conversation with my best friend recently and we concluded that Jamaica has lost a generation or two, and the problem has to be ADDRESSED from a much younger age, say from around 5-6 yrs old, to CONSCIOUSLY INSTILL VALUES in them! It seems that a segment of the Jamaican populace, has sunken into SAVAGERY! SO, SO, SAD! JAH, help my likkle island!

1. Lack of capital punishment emboldens the thug.
2. Where are the parents? Remember the days when parents would clap you upside the head, in public or in private, if you acted untoward? When youngsters were not even allowed to be around adult conversation? WHERE ARE THE PARENTS?
