I find myself in the same boat, and I am sure there are countless others who are flabbergasted seeing the depths to which the Congress has plunged. Its not as if they were pristine earlier, but atleast a lot of people saw them as the lesser of the two devils.
With all this petty politics over the presidential election, blatant disregard of the public opinion, the Congress has shown that it has nothing to do with meritocracy!
Shame on them! I am not going to vote for them for sure, whether at the State or the National Level.
A good way to share this message and also to project the strength of public feeling towards Dr. Kalam is to sign this online petition.
Granted signing the petition by itself is not going to achieve anything. However, if adequate numbers sign, the media is bound to notice it and consequently the Congress will also get the message that they've made a mistake by ignoring the strong public opinion in favor of Dr. Kalam.
Also, signing the petition implies a pledge that one takes NOT TO VOTE for the UPA!!
