The National Campaign for the presidency of Ghana by Prof John Evans Atta Mills has begun in earnest. December 2008 is surely an election that Prof Atta Mills will win.
Go to www.attamills2008.com and discover the real Prof Atta Mills as presented by his friends and family. Yes, you got that right! Friends and Family of Prof Mills, led by his brother, Dr Cadman Mills, put together this dedicated website, more as a tribute to the essence of the man we know to be good at everything he does, than anything else. This certainly is a true act of love and sacrifice. Prof Atta Mills was elected on December 21, 2006, as Flag bearer and Presidential Candidate for the presidency of Ghana in 2008.
Perhaps, words from the preamble of the web site speak to the motivation of the friends and family: ?By choice, the family and friends of Professor Atta Mills did not seek to be commissioned or formally endorsed by the Atta Mills campaign so as to be able to be as candid as possible in our presentation of Professor Atta Mills and the challenges he faces.?
Our main objectives for this web site www.attamills2008.com as culled again from the preamble of the web site are clear and very specific.
1. We want to highlight Prof Atta Mills? ?life time devotion to
(a) training, mentoring, and nurturing generations of Ghanaian youth, including his contribution to the development of sports in Ghana,
(b) public service to the nation in his capacity as Chairman of the Board and, later, as Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service, and as Vice President of the Republic of Ghana,
(c) sharing global experience on the reform of tax policies and administration through his membership on the United Nations Committee of Tax Experts, and
(d) making invaluable contributions to the development of democracy in Ghana.?
2. We want ?to fully and actively support the bid of Professor John Evans Atta Mills for the Presidency of Ghana in December 2008. Those of us, who know the good Prof really well, are convinced that he is the real deal at this critical juncture in the history of Ghana. He is a man of character, vision, experience, and dedication to the betterment of Ghana. Few would question his conviction and persistence and love of nation as is symbolized by his 8-year quest for the opportunity to make a contribution as President of the Republic of Ghana. His values: honesty and candor in his dealings with others, inspiring others (regardless of ethnic, religious, or political affiliation) to make the best contribution that they are capable of, and above all, being relentless in his defense of the down-trodden are known to friends and foes alike.?
