Creatively I should say on World Consumers day Ppl can wear badges of product they support. Election events at places w/ Open counting. Citizens may choose from the numbers gained. The winners get no special price but credibility. This way theres competition over the right issues. But Ads must be taxed the bigger the heavy yet Not banned. Voting over various standards must be held even black listing to stop favors. In this way a 5 time loser or winner Co. can Wind-up than wait for better times.

Is ASSAM an INDIAN State? If YES, do something. If NO, ignore reading this. In Assam people are being killed by militant group and Indian people are still showing no support and many of us are not known to the incident. But people showed a great support(candle march etc.), while several were killed in Pakistan some weeks before. Is North-eastern states are being neglected by the people and Govt. or people are not accepting those states as Indian States? Please support them by any means.

We must impose a Basic tax on ads. As they make ADs more oft king-sized & mislead. That will b Exempted depending on Customer credit ratings in a Govt regd. Consumer SITE -Like SEBI listings going by shares of ratings Were ppl can also black list product & get counts. As penalties Ads must not be banned But taxed else Advertising'd become more viral & necessary. Citizens can vote like Ballot even from Ration shops & insist on better goods like soaps. Ppl can wear badges of product they support.

The citizens should be allowed to complain against misleading advertisements on a web based portal, which should followed by an enquiry. If the complaint is found true, the company, the ad makers and the actors should be punished through exemplary penalty such as Rs 10 crore followed by withdrawal of ad. This punishment should be publicized at all possible media such as print, TV and radio. Repeat offence should invite higher penalty, ban on all the concerned parties and jail term.
