[Notary Sojac]

Hey Mods!!!

If I announce that I'm running for President, can I get my vanities put under News / Activism too?

Here's the first draft of my platform:

My first act will be to replace Ben Franklin on the $100 with Julius H. Marx. It's all about the Grouchos!!

My second act will be to decree that all citizens change their underwear every half hour. It will be required to wear underwear on the outside so I can check. (sorry I stole this, Woody...)

My third act will be to replace "The Star Spangled Banner" with the Hoosier Hot Shots arrangement of "There's A Tear In My Beer Tonight"..

And that's just Inauguration Day!!

There ya going trying to raise the standard around here, shame.

You can’t debate the crucial matters at hand, so you appeal to the mods to try and bury the thread?

How pathetic.

So, in Notary Sojac's mind, FReepers are either not permitted to participate in news-making or activism (ie, running for a political office) or at least should be denied the ability to mention their news-making or activism here on Free Republic simply because they are members of Free Republic. That sounds dumb to me. We should encourage FReepers to take part in politics and speak boldly of it. Here's an idea, how about Notary Sojac announces his run for President on his affiliated campaign website first, like Tom Hoefling did, and then bring that here for discussion instead of announcing it here first and ludicrously comparing apples and oranges.
