The group, which called itself "The Majority Bloc of CDC Grassroots Partisans, Stalwarts, and Sympathizers", has called on the CDC National Executive Committee (NEC) to rescind the Sunday resolution and "return to status quo".
"Supreme Court Writ of Prohibition inevitable after three days should you ignore this mass-signed partisans' petition to reverse this disastrous course," the group admonished the party's leadership.

We Support T. Q. Harris for the Liberian Presidency
Fellow Liberians and Friends of Liberia:
Liberia is mired in a plethora of problems resulting from 14 years of self-demolition, devastation, and the senseless destruction of lives. Corruption is endemic, thus inhibiting progress in every segment of the society. Also, the alarming illiteracy rate, unimaginable poverty, sky rocketing inflation and unsustainable unemployment, coupled with deteriorating economic conditions and poor social services have made it impossible to determine who is ethical and who not.
However, this cannot be denied: Liberia is at a standstill awaiting a true nationalistic leader. I believe we have found him!
