TRILLANES, ZUBIRI AT ESCUDERO FOR SENATOR!

The Filipino people deserve a better life. Let us unite and save our nation from despair.

With one voice let us support Change...

Support Trillanes...

Support Magdalo...

Little things bound together can be the tipping force for change.

PLATAPORMA NI TRILLANES INIHAYAG NA!

My name is ANTONIO FUENTES TRILLANES IV. I am a candidate for Senate in thecoming May 2007 elections. I am also part of the United Opposition (UNO) senatorial slate.

More than three years ago, my fellow soldiers and I stood for our convictions and pushed for reforms to pursue our collective vision: to live in a society where there is no corruption… where the streets are safe and the needs of the poor are addressed adequately…where every citizen is provided with the best education,

sufficient health care, and genuine public service.

This vision has sustained me throughout the years. Now, it is time to carry forth this vision. This is the reason why I am running in the coming elections.

Sadly, for some people, the elections will be nothing more than a contest of men and women with the most entertaining advertisement or the most popular jingle. But I believe most Filipinos are smart enough not to be swayed by these kinds of manipulative schemes. We need much more from our elected representatives. We need sincerity, integrity and moral courage. We need solutions to our country’s problems. Ultimately, we need men who cannot be bought.

Friends, I am offering myself as an alternative.

My legislative platform proposes practicable solutions that cover four major advocacies, namely: anti-corruption, poverty alleviation, peace & order, and education.

I want to pursue these advocacies we started three and a half years ago, to finally turn this country around. But I cannot do this alone. The fate of our nation could not - and should not - be directed by one man alone. Instead, it should be the end result of the collective efforts of each and every one of us.

Thus, I need your help.

If, up to this point, I have failed to convince you to support my cause, then thank you for giving me a little of your time. However, if you believe in what I
stand for and you are convinced that I can protect your rights and push for the interests of the Filipino people, then you can do any or all of the following:

1. Forward this message to all the friends in your list;

2. Vote for me (if you are
registered voter);

3. Tell your relatives and friends
to vote for me;

4. Sign up as one of our campaign
volunteers by helping in the
distribution/posting of campaign
paraphernalia in your area. (Sign-up at:
