Sam Rainsy has done a lot for poor and powerless Khmer .

To win Yuon who has been directly behind Hun Sen regime .

We need real power of people, and those real people power are:

1. Khmer home and abroad.

2. Khmer-Krom.

3. Khemr leu.

4. Cham-Cambodian.

5. Lao people.


So to win yuon Hun Sen regime we need Khmer +Cambodian-Cham, Lao people.

Beside Khmer leu, Khmer Knadal , Khmer- Krom, Khmer-Cham we also need any helping hand like Lao people to be part with us ( Khmer ) to fight against Yuon Hun Sen , Ho Chi Minh Indochina Federation.
