Dear President Coffey and Press Union of Liberia,As one of the longest-serving active members of the Press Union of Liberia (PUL), I write to suggest that the PUL and the general media community take a definite position on whether or not Liberia is really ready to have a referendum in December. If our stance on this cardinal national issue is ignored, at least we would have made our position clear. Anyone can come from across the border and take on a Liberian citizenship relying on cultural and name commonalities. President Coffey, I believe we should be heard and heard now; we need to have a position — stating whether or not we feel Liberia is really ready for the referendum. Yours trulyJonathan Paye-LaylehMember, Press Union of Liberia since 1987[email protected]
