Have you asked your Census minister on the statistics of men, women, and children that die from malfunctional-muddy-roads accidents compare to other deads? During multiple rainning sesions, do you know how many southeastern region citizens get cut-off from their families in other part of the country due to rising tides, zero bridge(s), bad mudquicking mud-roads that have the potential or have swallowed up trailors, or is it save to say that you are just running Monrovia because it is the commercial "capitol" not capital? Do you understand that the development of highways foster jobs for those who seek them so desperately and those development have the potential to rain in capitol (like toll system in the western world) and they can also bring about cross-counties marketing? Shouldn't we tab these sectors of renewing our fragile society and slow down the somewhat speedy rationing of our natural resources; remember, you are not the only president who thinks that it is the wise thing to do by rationing out our wealth for penny, the other did too, and history, history, my friend have proven them wrong. In the famous words of the late Ivorian President, Kona Bideyeh, "Build our citizen a new city, even if our national fund happens to run out because it is the right thing to do" build us a road network, even if it cause us.

We are struggling to be inspired by your choices and wonder whether you, at night in your own thoughts, don't wonder how you can lead in the application of new ideas which will inspire the public and create basic solutions to our problems. Perhaps two sources might be useful 1. Infrastructure and 2.Strengthen Liberia health care systems such as building new hospitals, well trained doctors and nurses. Please don't allow your government to divide we the Liberians. Speak to the need for honesty, sincerity and the willingness to lead the country. Dear President Ellen Johnson,
