Greetings,
I am interested in conducting an email interview with Frank Moore about his platform and biography. The magazine that I manage and edit for is internationally distributed in both Canada and the United States, and will be releasing 1,000 copies in August, just prior to the election. We seek to represent otherwise unrepresented artists, photographers, culture in a large format (12 x 15") magazine made with 30% recycled paper in Vermont (for now). If this is something he would be interested in, I will send the interview. Our deadline is July 15th. I feel I have a wonderful opportunity to provide my readers with an alternative to both their regular party alignments as well as to their regular lines of thinking.
Thank you for your time,
Adam DeMartino

If you have any advice I will take it!

well, don't assume anything, don't have pictures...just enter it with a child-like curiosity. then you'll avoid the standard questions...and the standard meaningless [?] phrases...such as "a victim of cerebral palsy," "suffering from," etc. how is that for advice? well, you did say "to provide my readers with an alternative to both their regular party alignments as well as to their regular lines of thinking." that's my specialty!
below is an example of the reactions i am getting to my platform:
While Corey was at the store, he ran into Phyllis, a woman who lives down Curtis St., just down from Frances, with her son Will. When she saw Corey, she wanted to let him know that she had read the pamphlet in the take-one box, Frank's platform, and agreed with 98% of it! She just wasn't sure if you could really just bring the troops home from Iraq right away, without creating more problems ... But other than that, she felt that what Frank was proposing was brilliant. She had at first wondered if it was a joke, but then read it and realized that it was a brilliantly laid out plan. She especially liked Frank's economic plans ... how we would not need social security and welfare when so many other resources were available through cutting the military, taxing the wealthiest, and giving everyone a guaranteed minimum income. It reminded her of something a guru of hers had said ... something along the lines of that when you take care of everyone, the major problems of our society will go away. She said the only problem is that, even more than having an african-american candidate, there will be so much resistance to a disabled candidate ... she said this country is so afraid of not-"normal" physicality, always trying to hide it, avoid it. But she wanted Corey to make sure and tell Frank what she thought of his plan!
In Freedom,
Frank Moore

i understand about the not having pictures. indeed, when i discovered your platform, i had no idea that you had cerebral palsy -- i just knew that someone was walking my path. the thing is that FutureClaw is 12 x 15". as in, it's designed for photography, so there have to be some sort of pictures or else we end up wasting time, concept, and space. we can use unassuming pictures, but they have to be good quality or else people will notice the fuzziness of the edges. our market is high-end professionals / hipsters and I am trying to bring them a small dose of reality.
also, I don't think I have ever once thought of you as a victim since you sparked my interest a few months ago. your platform generally fits in with what I believe and I decided I am not going to vote for anything if I don't believe in it. it only makes sense that an approach to politics that is so left field would come from a person whose life experiences are so left field.
I'll get you that interview soon.

i have found that most people have a similar reaction as you to the platform, etc. the platform is the star of this show. it gives deep hope to people, showing how practical and doable setting up a more humane, sane society would be...IF the politicians, etc. actually wanted things to work. the reactions of people to the platform have forced me to take on the responsibility to take this campaign all the way in seriousness.
hey, have we started the interview!?!?
high-end professionals / hipsters, eh? they are the hardest audience! but we like a challenge, don't we? it reminds me of when i was doing a cabaret show in a punk club in the late 70s. we got a ton of press on every level...including all the sex mags. it gave me great pleasure thinking their audience was being exposed to this while beaver hunting! actually the most insightful articles about that show appeared in those mags! but few people understood why i was glad to be in those mags.
we have a lot of photos!
