As a resident of Benaulim, I have seen this beautiful village go from bad to worse over the last so many decades; mismanaged/governed by Politicians who have misused this constituency for selfish objectives. Over the years, I have heard Benaulikars say that they do not have a Good Political Alternative and I would agree with them for the past. But this election is different as Benaulikars now do have a better, respected and ethical Alternative in Dr. Hubert Gomes. Today Goa is in crisis, its environment, identity, land/water is under severe threat from the existing bunch of Ruling Politicians. Corruption is a major cancer in our society today and Goans should be well aware today, of who is who, in the corruption rankings of Goa. We need to elect Good/Respectful People to give Goa a chance to survive and give hope to Goans. Yes, there is little many can say/do in the open because of the environment of fear in Goa; created by the current bunch of Politicians who threaten/intimidate/manipulate citizens. But on 3rd March 2012, Benaulikars have a chance as one force, to vote the right person and help move Benaulim/Goa in the right direction. So let us stop making excuses and saying that nothing will change or we can't do anything, yes we can and we must VOTE DR. HUBERT GOMES!!
