You know your a real loser when this has nothing to do with the PLD or government, and you still mention it.

This is something positive. I'm very glad they are taking a step in cleaning our beaches, its a gorgeous island, and we need to keep it that way.

Why do you guys involve such as good thing with politics?
I don't care if PLD is doing this, or what they're reaching for , just know this benefits everybody living in the DR, or do they just clean up Lionelistas garbage?

Come on let's see the big picture, good things are those which work for everybody.
