(openPR) - President Bush to visit India on March 1-3, 2006. This could be a good human relations story to report about our efforts to get president Bush to visit Galveston's Sister City in India during this trip. Trivandrum, the capital city of Kerala state also known as God's Own Country and listed as one of the top 50 places to visit in the world as per National Geography magazine Traveler.

White House notified us that the President will not be able to go to our sister city this time. Now we are requesting the President to convey our warm greetings from Galveston to the people of Kerala by President himself on one of his speeches in India.

Please visit www.gtscsociety.com and click current Events to see the whole story about our efforts supported by US senators and US Congressmen, Mayor of Galveston and many friends around the nation. I request a reporter to call White House and inquire about whether President would mention our sister city in one of his speeches in India.

Vision
Improve the mutual understanding of the people of two different cultures. East & West. The Greatest Democracy in the world USA and the Largest Democracy in the world INDIA.


Honorable President George W. Bush

I am writing this letter to thank you for your visionary leadership for America and the whole world. I had a great opportunity to meet you and present you with your mother’s portrait done in rice straw art, on your visit to Galveston. You responded to me with a handwritten letter with your signature. Galveston established a sister city relationship in 1994 and you were the governor of Texas at that time and you declared that week as US India friendship week in Texas. I want to thank you personally for your support for India then and now.

It will be a great honor for us in Galveston, Texas if you, the Honorary President of the Sister Cities International, visit our sister city Trivandrum capital city of Kerala, on your trip to India. Your visit to our sister city will stimulate an interest worldwide about our beautiful, traditional sister city. National Geographic Magazine Traveler described Kerala as one of the top 10 places to visit in the world. American Tourism and technology companies may want to open their branch offices in Kerala.

Our sister city will benefit immensely from the special focus of the presidential visit. It will also provide an opportunity for American businesses to participate in the growth of Kerala, India over a billion people who lives in a Democracy. It will provide job opportunities to many and will stimulate changes social outlook, freedom, liberty and democracy. Vision and mission of Galveston-Trivandrum sister city is in the web site www.gtscsociety.com. Thank you for your help and support for Galveston-Trivandrum sister city society.

Sincerely,

Rajan Koshy, Chairman,
Galveston-Trivandrum Sister City Society.
