Dear Editor,
My heart was overcome with joy during the Democratic National Alliance (DNA) town meeting on the economy at the British Colonial Hotel.  Rodney Moncur was publicly announced as the DNA's candidate for Bain and Grants Town.
This is by all means a big deal.  You see, Moncur is a taxi driver by profession.  He lives in Black Village and he is of humble means.  He doesn't drive a fancy car and he is a happily married man.  Moncur is just an ordinary citizen who has finally received a well-deserved chance to represent the people of The Bahamas on a higher level.  He represents the grassroots man in spirit and in person.
Moncur has fought for decades for the citizens of this country with no voices.  He has fought for citizens who didn't have the fight in themselves.  He understands the plight of many disenfranchised Bahamians and I believe that if he is elected that he would be an outstanding Member of Parliament.
Moncur, you have given many Bahamians hope with your nomination.  All is not lost.  You have proven that you don't have to be a doctor or lawyer or be a member of an esteemed family to become a political candidate from a worthy political party.   Congratulations to Rodney Moncur and all the best to you sir.
 
Yours, etc.,
DEHAVILLAND MOSS
