----------------------------------------------------------------- Santosh, Count me in. Assuming I make it to Goa this year, I will at most only be able to stay at the Taj Aguada Prison for 2 weeks. Do they take rambunctious 3 and 5 year olds? If so, please inform them to make arrangements for my kids as well. Perhaps they can keep them locked up for a bit longer than 3 weeks (.. I'm thinking 10 years). Marlon ----- Original Message ---- From: Santosh Helekar <chimbel...@yahoo.com> Mervyn, Here is what I think all of us should write in our emails to the speaker and other MLAs. But more importantly, we should write it as a letter-petition to the Herald newspaper with our names on it: LETTER Dear Sir, I agree with Samir Kelekar that the Goa Vidhan Sabha is a comedy show. The threat of imprisonment issued from its chair and benches against a private citizen for speaking his mind in public, just proved this fact. I am willing to spend time in prison with Samir to defend my right to freely express this opinion of mine in this free democratic country of ours. Sincerely, Santosh Helekar Goanetters, if you are willing to add your name to this petition, please say so in this forum or privately to me. I will send it to the editor of Herald as soon as I receive 100 names. I need to know how many people will be there with us because I have to make reservations at Aguada. We need at least 100 bodkam because ex-President Pandurang has told me that we get a special discount for a party of 100 or more. Regarding sending the above letter as an email to the actors in the comedy show, their email addresses are listed on the following website: http://www.goavidhansabha.gov.in/mlas.php Cheers, Santosh
