Publisher's Message
Reader

Over the past couple of weeks we at StMaartenNews.com have managed to publish and distribute over 4000 newspapers and manifestos of the Sint Maarten Christian Party (SMCP). A feat that shows the ability and skills of this Publisher to actually deliver on a promise made.

When asked by the SMCP selection committee what contributions can I bring to the party, my immediate answer was the use of my publishing and media platforms to bring the message of the SMCP party to the people of St. Maarten.

Sure enough, some people are now saying that StMaartenNews.com is showing its bias by promoting the SMCP party.

Here is my answer to that. I am the sole owner of StMaartenNews.com and no one else. StMaartenNews.com's editorials and opinions pieces are a direct reflection of the bias of this Publisher and I stand for truth, integrity, accountability and transparency. I am not hiding the fact that I am a candidate of the SMCP, number 12 on the list and my name is Atwell Terrance Rey.

I am a businessman, I am a publisher, I am a producer, I am a doer and I deliver on promises I make. When you vote for me, you will get what you see here and I stand for what comes out of my mouth, my hands and my fingers. I will not change because I am a firm believer in doing what is right at all times and I believe in fairness, a critical approach to all and everything and standing up for justice.

If I am elected to Parliament, I will make your vote count. So every man, every woman, come out this Thursday and make your vote count. Vote for me, vote for SMCP candidate number 12, vote for Atwell Terrance Rey, please. I will be forever grateful for your vote.
