Again, a slow day today with regard to news about Natalee or the case

TOURISM FIGURES

Tourism figures came out yesterday about Aruba, all you who are interested in such things can check them out at:

New Tourism Figures Aruba

I also read today that the new dutch chief of police will start working on Aruba at the beginning of next month. Hopefully he will be able to give the dutch cold case team all the additional tools it needs to be succesfull. Who knows what the "old guard" might have put up in the way of roadblocks for the dutch investigators if they had still been running the game on Aruba.


QUEEN BEATRIX TO VISIT ARUBA AND THE ANTILLES

hopefully the trip our queen is going to undertake will bring the dutch media in droves to Aruba. With any luck we can get our cause back into the media, at least in the Netherlands.

I don't doubt that the press will at least report on Natalee's disappearance when they are covering the queens visit to Aruba.

Our queen will also be celebrating that in 1776, on the 16th of November, the dutch island of St. Eustasius (part of the dutch kingdom) was the first country to recognise the newly free and sovereign United States of America. She will be doing this by the unveiling of a scale-model of that first American ship to get the official salute from St. Eustasius, the Andrew Doria.


POSSIBLE NEW WRITING CAMPAIGN TO CONSIDER

as some of you might know the Dutch will be to electing a new parliament soon. In the past we have written to members of the government but at this time that would be a waste of time because in weeks they will resign their posts.

Maybe, just maybe it would be smart to begin an e-mail campaign directed at the party leaders of the main political parties in the Netherlands. We can ask them to make sure (even in parliament because they get to ask the government questions) that the dutch police make haste with going over to Aruba to start the first "real professional" investigation into Natalee's disappearance.

We can also ask them to speak on Natalee's behalf (and Natalee's parents) in parliament. For example they can ask in parliament when the police will finally go to Aruba and stuff like that.


In this picture, you can see two of the most powerful men in the Netherlands, the party leaders of the 2 biggest political movements in the Netherlands (PvdA, the social democratic movement and CDA, the christian center movement).

If this new possible campaign for getting Natalee's case out there is going to be succesful these 2 men must certainly be on our e-mailing list.

So if people think this is a good idea I will start to track all the party-leaders e-mail adresses and even write an example letter (one made in both Dutch and English) asking these leaders to step up to the plate for Natalee because in our political system these party-leaders are the most powerful people in the country.

I will update on this and all other issues pending tomorrow.
