With due respect Robs moral supporting is worthless. The words mean I would have liked to offer support but am too busy or don’t want to make the effort. You don’t have to go with writing her a letter asking her to stand for election. You don’t have to cast your vote for her when she stands. That would have your support counted. It would make the support matter. But don’t let me force you to consider a rational a cogent argument if you are really busy. I hear a lot about her supporters and how they have supported. But she has been imprisoned for nearly 11 years. Rather than write to her you would rather spread stories about how only international sex spies have the ability to use the Indian Postal Service (EMS recommended). You have the opportunity to have her released this election as in every election before. The detention conditions could have been challenged. I am pressing with Indian lawyers I’ll still get the high court action done before any of you do anything about it. Supporters not connected to the local police could turn out on her annual release days. I am not knocking the signature campaign. If it leads to her standing for election and people following through with the ballot box it could bring change. Hey I’m just a mentally imbalance writer if you have a better idea that might work let us all know.
