1. you're right -- we need you in the Senate.
Edited on Mon Mar-21-05 03:26 PM by villager
When does the campaign begin?

on edit: I guess Senate is "Congress," too, though, if you didn't just mean "the House."

Guess you better have two sets of "18th birthdays," and then you can just run for the White House!

39. that's exactly who we need in office!
Folks who don't want to be there, but are up to the task. Not the emotionally damaged power geeks who fill our government now...

46. well, remember, you'll have had two sets of "18 years" by then...
...plus, of course, we'll need someone who's been reading about climate change and peak oil since they were young, to try and find a path out of the wreckage the "older,wiser" folks are leaving in their wake...

Please, Please, I just want to graduate college. I have rather modest ambitions I know but eh, that is the price I pay. Oh yeah another ambition is to have a wife and a few kids. Plus to at least once visit my European homelands and the ancestral homes here in the US.
