I am still thankful that the determination of the Samoan People and the late Catholic Cardinal Pio Taofinuu to stop the PM at the time from signing the contract allowing for that to happen at my village Falefa in Apia. My suggestion is that your group and barrister try and raised the alarm through more groups such as the WTO, UN Head Office, The Church and many other organsiation such as the Friends of the earth from other countries. If this can be done try delivering your petition through your US Ambasador and your embassy in the US. There are tough noncompliance penalties inposed by the American government on Big Corporations that failed to exercise corporate Responsibilities. Keep it up. Make contact with the Pacific Forum and the leaders of the Pacific Region. You got to have that solid backbone that can hold your side against the power of the corporation. One last thing, read the New Zealand TV 3 news about the NewZealand free trade proposal with Japan and the Asia Pacific. Here is the website: www.3news.co.nz/Free-trade-agreement...on... PNG is our beloved Pacific neighbour. What those guys are talking about involves us all but benefit just them. Look into it and see how your lawyer can pursue for help from them.
