The New Pledge

                             - Satish Khot

26 Nov 2008 has taught us a hard lesson.

Each one of us is feeling helpless and dejected...  maybe even feeling defeated. Each one wants to do something to save India from such attacks in future. Enough of candlelit vigils and silent rallies of solidarity. We need to do something positive.

We know that what has brought us to this sad pass is the Malaise of Corruption. There is a massive public demand for Accountability and Transparency from our Political Representatives and from the Bureaucrats. However, before we demand more of our Politicians and Administrators, we need to first BE THE CHANGE we wish to see.

There are many ways of doing this. For a start, join us at EMPRESS GARDENS on DECEMBER 27th 2008 at 5:00pm to take the following Pledge:    

I WILL BE THE CHANGE I WISH TO SEE.

I WILL NOT ENCOURAGE CORRUPTION.  

IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY TO EXERCISE MY VOTE.

Representatives will talk on Citizens Participation and how we can Empower Ourselves. There will also be a brief talk on Citizens Rights and Voter Registration.
