Subject: Perspectives on the Parade

Frank,

I finally have a few minutes to sit down and reflect on the whole How Berkeley Can You Be Parade experience. Just looking at the pictures again makes me smile. Thanks again for inviting me to join you all for the day.

When I arrived at your house, Erika was already at work on decorating the cars, Corey and Alexi working on the booth. Pretty energetic for an early morning. Carl came over and helped as we covered the van and car with stars, campaign posters and peace flags. On the drive across town to the parade staging area, the van was a vision of twirling stars and one or two of the knots failed, but the super-strength magnets holding the posters on never budged.

The final prep work took place in the street with all the other parade participants. We tied balloons to both vehicles and to Frank’s chair, as the group of mediators in front practiced their skit, and costumed skaters warmed up on the street. Once the parade started moving, it was hard to tell who was having more fun, the participants or the crowds. The streets were lined by a classic Berkeley crowd, many in their finest tie-dye. I was driving the lead van, with the boom-box on the roof looping campaign slogans. It was fun to see the reactions. Some people were asking “who is Frank Moore?” while others cheered and knew Frank, Linda, Mikee and Erika from BTV. The parade moved slowly enough for Frank to press the flesh with an adoring crowd. I kept watch in the mirrors so our little caravan stayed together until we reached the Park and the next phase of the day.

We parked with the Art Cars and moved the balloons and signs to the booth. The music and the food booths and the crowds were great. The collection of Art Cars was mind boggling. After a while wandering and eating I had to get back to work. But I left smiling, reminded again why I love living and working here, surrounded by incredible people.

Hi Frank,

I’ve decided to support you in your bid to win the Presidency. Your platform is well thought out and would make a real difference.

My only suggestion is lowering your 75% flat tax on those earning over 5 million dollars per annum. Perhaps, 25% would be better.

I find you and your site inspiring.

Thank You,

first, david, i value your vote! what i need you….and people like you to do is to give copies of my platform to everybody you know… and/or whom you want to know! you can print it out at http://www.frankmooreforpresident08.com/platform-print.html.

it is an interesting suggestion. i’m open to it. what would be the reason to do it that way? in my plan the 75% rate for an individual kicks in at a million dollars a year and for a corporation 5 million dollars. i’d be incline to keep the individual rate there. but the corporate rate could be 25% for 6 milion-10 million, 50% for 11-20 million, and 75% for 20+ million.

Dear Mr. Moore,

I am 15 years old and a collector of autographs of current and former candidates for President and Vice President. Could you please send me a personally signed, dated, and inscribed picture for my collection? I would be extremely grateful if you could just write something like “Best Wishes to Lianna Havel” on your signed and dated picture and send it to me. Any picture will do.

Also, could you please send me your genuine signature on one of your calling cards, along with a brief biography of yourself and perhaps some campaign buttons or literature from your election campaign? I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Lianna Havel

somebody asked: “would Frank require people to prove they had voted on the paid holiday election day in order to get the paid holiday? Was he looking for the slacker vote or the vote of responsible people?” He thought that if you just make election day a paid holiday, it wasn’t going to get anyone more to vote, it would just give the slackers a day off.

mmmm….i thought the election holiday was a no-brainer, removing needless roadblocks to people exercising their right to vote. i realize historically [to the present] politicians have always placed all kinds of hindrances to keep the WRONG people…blacks, women, workers, people of different parties, etc… from voting. but i ain’t playing those games.

but people also have the right to NOT vote. not voting can be a form of political expression. hey….if i wasn’t running, i probably wouldn’t be voting. so it would be wrong to force people to vote…to vote for “the lesser evil.”

but imagine seeing people as “slackers.” imagine that version of reality. in that version, nothing much could be done. i never have operated in that version! in reality, most people aren’t slackers. in reality we in this country have much less “off-time” than europeans. so even if the election holiday “just” gave people an extra day off, it will be a good thing!

This is a brilliant answer. Makes me proud to be your running mate. I’d like to see some of this in your platform online, or in a FAQ

Opps! This got overlooked in the flood and my current w(hi)orldwind … I read you platform … what could be better or better said…
Another stream has floated my boat … though when/if it flows toward the “political” arena again and the “Love Party” gets some momentum (in the Devi energyzone) … we’ll connect. In the meantime I will send your platform around …

played a gig at a local cantina last night with the gypsy jazz band…we had a great time and the audience was wonderful…all in all a super send off for the band’s last gig…anyhow afterwards this guy comes up to me and said,,,didn’t I see you down at Il corral with the Cherotic Allstars?…cracked me up…anyhow he loved the show and had heard about it by checking out their web site and when he read Frank’s bio he figured he had to see it…and of course we blew his mind…but that’s what we do!

Glad you all had a great day.

I like the JMS Party. Good platform. Well thought out.

How about revoking the state charters of any corporation with gross revenues over $100M. Don’t need corporations any bigger.

Nice poster and stuff! How do I get a mug?

Compared to the current crop of candidates, Frank is way over qualified.

May be a waste of a good man in a poor office, but he gets my vote.

I’m writing him in!

From: Frank Moore
To: Kenneth Howe Jones

ken, that’s another good way to break up the over-grown corporations, and to break the addiction to obscenely huge profits…the addiction which is literally killing us. this break up is one of the main goals of my tax poilicy, etc. this will create many more smaller businesses, more competition, more opportunities, etc.

we are winning this, vote by vote!
