The derogatory ad


Refer to my earlier post.

Someone managed to send me a link to the ad posted on Flickr.

Read the ad. It's nauseating.

Dr. Hubert Gomes


"Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote."



I bowed my head in shame as I read the the recent advertisement in O Heraldo (5th February 2011) put up by some supporters of Churchill Alemao. Unfortunately I am not able to download the ad itself hence I am providing a link here.

I am angry. I am ashamed.

But then, it's time we looked inwards. Are we partly responsible for the result? In the words of William E Simon, it is our good Goans who continue to vote such incompetent representatives to the assembly. As the next assembly elections draw near, its time to come out in large numbers and vote judiciously. Vote for candidates who have a vision and commitment for Goa. A candidate who can influence and develop policies that strengthen Goa and the niz goenkar.

Today, as I read the tirade against Dr. Hubert Gomes in O Herald, I am even more determined to vote. And vote for people like Dr. Hubert Gomes who I believe has accomplished so much in his career and can genuinely contribute to the betterment of Goa.

Please pass on this message to your friends and relatives.

The time has come.
