@praveenarimbrathod
okay so this is something i wrote for a video i thought id make but it looks horrible and theres no way im doing a video now! .. anyway, below is the text .. its very informal ..we could edit it to make it sound formal :

“How many times have you whined about the fact that
so and so politician couldve takern a better decison ,
so and so party couldve taken a better decision.
Arey this years budget is horrible , etc etc and
That if you had it your way you wouldve done things differently..
Well , heres your chance. Enter - Direct democracy or as my friend
Praveen would have it said - Participatory democracy- A democratic system
where you , the public has a say in every major decision that the country
has to take?
Think of it like a voting system - where you could vote on every major decision
the country had to take.. including the budget.
Yes there will be a lot of obstacles to overcome like the literacy rate
of our country but hey! heres a start… yeah?
So you could still sit and complain about how noone ever asked you
what you wanted , etc etc or you could help us bring about that change.

My good friend Praven Arimbrathodiyil will be contesting this years
assembly election from Trivandrum , which is in Kerala.
Pl. feel free to support him in any way you can and if your in kerala,
do vote for him. ”

@arjun go ahead. It does not have to be formal. People should be able to relate to it. Just say what you feel.

@praveenarimbrathod short of time atm, but will record a short video as soon as I can

Recorded one more today https://goblinrefuge.com/mediagoblin/u/praveen/m/loyalty-discipline-and-values/ loyalty for the gang vs loyalty to values. It would be great if a few more voices are added to the collection.

Our campaign is live https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/indian-pirates-for-kerala-assembly-elections-2016/x/509624#/ Go spread the word!

Thanks @abhijtihb for making the video and @sruthi for composing the campaign pitch text. We should add more voice to the video.

There is a legal issue, election candidates cannot accept foreign funds :(

I have asked the person who contributed today to withdraw it.

We still need to get a clarification if we can use indiegogo platform even though all contributors are Indian citizens.

Our attempt to use instamojo.com/@piratepraveen also stuck as they disabled my account. I hope they'll transfer 1500 ₹ collected by them. Now only option is direct credit to my account given below.

A/c no: 11470100301235, Bank: Federal Bank, Branch: Alanallur, IFSC: FDRL0001147

I opened this account for election use only (mandatory).

@praveenarimbrathod Can I encourage a friend with Indian Citizenship to contribute? I guess that should be allowed?

@vik I think campaigning for a candidate cannot be prohibited.
