Santo Domingo.– The president of Dominican Republic’s major opposition party (PRD) Miguel Vargas Maldonado said the Congress "José Francisco Peña Gómez" will open a new direction for the country, democracy and equity to walk hand in hand.

During his opening speech at the Dominican Fiesta Hotel, Vargas said that the congress will define the political and social ideology of the party, so that inclusion and integral development fit in with the actions of power emanating from the National Palace.

He said that PRD's great challenge is to be once more the vehicle of change and hope for the people, as it was in 1963, 1978 and will be in 2012, skipping 2000, when Hipolito Mejia took office.

He's right.

With the PRD in charge there is NO HOPE, and NO CHANGE BACK FROM YOUR DOLLAR. They will try to keep it all.

Not that the PLD is any better.

the only way to fix DR is by having the US take over the country, Make then follow the laws like they have to do here. Dominicans only make promise at the end just for them self.

This is the only man who can bring real Hope and Change to the DR...

He'll give u as much HOPE as Jorge Blanco and Hippolito gave u ppl. He'll give u so much HOPE that you'll all be living back in the 20's. Oh, CHANGE, oh sweet CHANGE, I love the CHANGE you'll bring Mr. Vargas....

Dollar exCHANGE rate US$100 = RD$1.00
Money Laundering and Banker interCHANGE = NON STOP 24/7 - 365 Days
Racial InterCHANGE = ALL HAITIANS ARE WELCOME
Transportation CHANGE = No More METRO, Juan Hibieres will tell us what to use
Energy CHANGE = Deforest all land to make COAL
DEA CHANGE = Don't televise any drug related issues - keep it quiet
and on and on and on....until everything is CHANGED to PURE PRD WHITE....
