Take a stand.............yes for the hospital no for fale and sports!
Was that a hard decision?
Rhetoric gets you no where.
Is this the same guy that was removed from the GAR position, after the tsunami?
The one that was investigated and the kovana didn't trust?
Is he still with the retirement board getting the big per diem?
Good Luck to Miss Karlinna Suluama Sanchez!!! who is representing SPA....We will be praying for you all the way from Hula Land!:)
Your aunty & uncle...and cousins...Darius & Daniel...
oh, and Bedell:)
Greatly appreciate the explaination. I knew when it was explained to me that something didn't sound right. I had to ask. Again thank you for taking the time to research and answer my question.
Respectfully
Melisa Pese.
This is going to be one interesting drama to watch in the court.
I guess this is what happens when they buy a sunken ship in Upolu. Now the other ship is sinking.
I feel bad for the employee guy. Reminds me of the Daewoosa debacle all over again. Abusing the poor foreign workers. If anyone knows Sharon, she is not a nice person (in court).
[Editor's Note: Interesting analogy, however, I don't think it's a human slavery situation — it's a case of alleged wrongful termination and lack of good faith in regards to its work contract obligations by Bluesky. There is also alleged immigration fraud in relation to sponsorship of the fiancée. ra]

Thank you editors of the Samoa News for explaining the situation,
It is always good to read your newspaper here in Nelson New Zealand.
Good luck with the bigger server site.

The SuedNia & Togi-fiaola plans it, Mose, it's all about (Money Finagle) activity, and non-else., it is Obvious. A fifth grader can figure it out at home alone without a tutor.
Thank you samoanews for the notification, and warning about the problem that you were having. I sincerely accept your apology, after the stress I underwent trying to get to your news web for about an hour or so.
Smile... I wish you, and your news media good luck within your future endeavor, for the betterment of your future service. Good luck, and keep up the good works in reporting unscrupulous activity from such egregious government. Smile....Doing a great Job samoanews.
Warmth Regards

What puzzles Mose is none of these guys are fishermen/women, nor farmers of the land. They are after funding to fatten their pockets and continue eating greasy gobblers of gopher guts. Mose
They might not understand their own language if I, and samoanews write it in the Samoan language.....What happened to the people? Don't they understand English? Nor Samoan? Hire a fifth grader for an interpreter in order for them to comprehend what's going on there.
That's why things continue on the island, get distracted so easy once the smell of food is near. Don't you all think so?
These kind a people they should never never in life, work around where money is involved.
Let someone with dignity and honesty run that department, this family makes Samoa ashamed not once, not twice, but many times — a bunch of thieves — sorry but these is very disgusting.
Don't be ke'i if you go out to fish one day and you get a ticket for fishing without a license.
You are giving away your freedom in the guise of protection.
Am/American Samoa better watch out.......It is election time to brush, broom, and polish up, for the election time to be elected.....Oh Boy, suffering ahead and same thing will be standing still for another 4 years if he gets it...Ummmmm..hope for a good samritan that doesn't play Bingo 24/7 and also party using red wine.
So, beware of the danger people, and listen to your heart and the Lord.....no murmur, nor whispering about so and so, nor accepting any bribery money offer, but reported to the FBI and whoever cares about people's affairs nowadays.
My question is; Has anyone of the people running for Governor position remembered the tenth commandment? And also fear the Lord as they claim themselves CHRISTIAN? Don't let the money blind fold anyone. It perishes, but the Lord's word is everlasting.
Next is to look into who is taking over SLP and whether those in charge know what they are doing and are QUALIFIED. It is a "scratch my back or scratch your back" with vehicles, farmers, fishguy, food going into the kitchen or in their personal vehicles.
And they are all in cahoots together. Do you want to pay for your children's breakfast and lunch?
NOAA and the local DOC should respect the wishes of the local people. I gather there is more opposition to this expansion than those who support it.
So, in essence honor the will of the people, don't try to ram your own thoughts and ideas down their throats. Those in the local DOC are fighting hard to have this done because it will give them more funding and probably a few more jobs for their own preferred people. This has been going on for years, and it has to stop.
The federal agencies know well that the wishes of the people supersedes what the federal agency wants if it's a matter that is well explained and thought out. Right now the people (most of them who own lands and the fishermen) of American Samoa do not want an expansion to the current Fagatele Bay Sanctuary, period.
So, in brief keep the wishes of the people and move on. We have all these scientists and experts talking about preservation and blah, blah and more blah. It's not that complicated, all they have to do is keep Fagatele Bay where it is and that's it. Maybe in future years the expansion will make sense, but for now, nada.
Hey!, how dare you forgot about the "Purple Heart Recipient" from American Samoa. The Vietnam War Veteran; United State Army 1966 thru 1968, and the United States Marine Corps 1968 thru 1972. Don't you forget it bro.....He's a fighter for everyone.....goodly aggressive on family issues first, and energetic about making things happen for the people of American Samoa and beyond.
Not getting older, but getting wiser, and handsome, you all. Smile..... Integrity, and Endurance is my motto; and we all looking forward to that.
Hope one of the candidates has these credentials I mention herein. No lip service of any kind please...... But action is the ultimate goal to fulfill promisory notes.
And if you feel you don't have any of these credentials, don't waste your time to run for office at all.
Good point! Was this a Star Kist boat? Whose boat was this? Whats the name on that boat? Did they call EPA or Coast Guard on this boat? Go after the boat and its owner, they should know damn well they are not suppose to be dumping additional 'brine' into our oil/gas/trash filled bay. Go after that boat, whoever that is.
don't you hate that?...people who have never been in the public eye, especially serving and getting known by people for their service in public, all of sudden decide to run for governor...this is right on.
Leone village chiefs, orators, and especially relatives of those who lost loved ones in the 2009 tsunami, what a memory on their behalf.
Great job and it is a "Healing Garden" because those who lost their lives will be remembered, and every time a family/village member pass by that memorial it will remind them of the loved ones lost but never, ever forgotten.
May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ continue to bless the people of Leone for this great memorial and I challenge the rest of the villages to do the same for their loved ones lost due to the 2009 tsunami. Malo lava Leone!
I think Iuni is a good candidate for Faipule from his village. This is far from the Army with procedures and orders to follow and if you don't follow, you go to jail. This is Samoan politics. There is a little bit of everything it it, and the worst of all is the matai system where it demands respect even though you don't earn it.
E leaga ai lou ulu i polokiki faasamoa. Try to tell the fono what to do and you will be in for a big surprise. You might make an excellent director as well, but right now, I don't think LT is for you right now. No disrespect.
As the others have suggested, get involved with your village, church and learn what you have missed in 36 years... after that, maybe!
