Date: 22nd October 2007 To, GOANET Please favour me with publication of this Press Note at least two days before South Goa Parliamentary election date (31st October 2007). Thanks, Savio _______________________________________________________ PRESS NOTE FOR FAVOUR OF PUBLICATION GaunkarsFirst warns Goans not to vote against their identity GaunkarsFirst (GF) in their monthly newsletter Gaunkary Watch, have called attention of all Goans, especially those in South Goa, not to commit the error of voting for candidates or political parties who scorn, disregard and continuously abet or tend to abet atrocities against native Goans and their age-old institutions the Comunidades of Goa. GF sought to remind Goans that a 12-point Charter of Demands of the Gaunkars of Goa was released in March this year and copies of the same were submitted to all leading political parties active in Goa, both national and regional, prior to the State Assembly elections held in June, for inclusion in their respective election manifestos. Till date no political organization has confirmed the incorporation of these legitimate demands even in the South Goa Parliamentary elections. GF warns Goans not to lose their unique identity by supporting candidates and political parties that do not have the interests of native Goan laws, culture, identity and institutions, such as the Comunidades of Goa, close to their hearts. Yours truly, For GaunkarsFirst sd/- Savio Herman DSouza CONVENOR GaunkarsFirst C/O New Age Society 1140, Maina, Socorro, Gaunkary of Serula Post Porvorim Bardez, Goa. 403501.
