JAMAICA PATRIOTIC MOVEMENT PAY TRIBUTE TO OUR NATIONAL HEROES CONTRIBUTION FOR OUR INDEPENDENCE FROM BRITISH COLONIALISM AND THE LIMITED DEMOCRATIC FREEDOM WE HAVE CURRENTLY WITHIN OUR CURRENT POLITICAL DESIGN.

OUR NATIONAL HEROES WOULD BE SAD TO SEE OUR STATE OF AFFAIRS APPROACHING OUR FIFTIETH YEAR OF POLITICAL INDEPENDENCE. OUR POLITICAL MASTERS (BOTH PNP AND JLP) HAVE TIED US TO A SYSTEM OF ECONOMIC PLUNDERING THAT HAS OUR MINISTERS OF FINANCE COMPETING ON WHO CAN INCREASE OUR DEBT BURDEN THE MOST.

OUR NATIONAL HEROES WOULD BE TOTALLY AGAINST THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND WHOSE SOLE PURPOSE IS TO KEEP COUNTRIES SUBSERVIENT TO UNITED STATES DICTATES.

NATIONAL HEROES DAY REALITY IN JAMAICA IS;

• STUDENTS DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO SUBSIST
• PARENTS ARE UNEMPLOYED
• THE COST OF LIVING IS ASTRONOMICAL
• THE YOUTHS ARE ALIENATED THUS TAKING THEIR LIVES ON A DAILY BASIS
• THE SLAVE  WAGES BEING PAID TO HOTEL WORKERS. NO UNION, NO GUARANTEE OF A PERMANENT JOB AND THE CONSTANT THREAT OF BEING FIRED
• THE SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF OUR YOUNG GIRLS AT MASSAGE PARLORS
• THE SALE OF OUR NATIONAL ASSETS
• THE HIGH RATE OF MENTAL ILLNESS
• THE HIGH RATE OF LANDLESSNESS
• THE DECLINE IN OUR CULTURAL AND SOCIAL AESTHETICS.

OUR MOVEMENT PLANS TO LOBBY FOR OUR NATIONAL HEROES STATUE TO BE PLANTED AT THE EMANICIPATION PARK AS A BEGGINING OF A TRUE CELEBRATION OF THEIR WORTH.
