Frank Moore, candidate of the Just Makes Sense Party, is calling for his fellow artists to do pieces of any kind to support his candidacy!
Frank Moore Announces Candidacy for 2008 U.S. Presidential Election
Berkeley, CA -- Monday, July 3, 2006 -- Berkeley avante-garde artist and unrelenting defender of free speech, Frank Moore is running for President. Candidate of the Just Makes Sense Party, Frank's tagline is "I Get Results!" He is calling for his fellow artists to do pieces of any kind to support his candidacy, and says, "Yep, there will be an artist in the White House!"
Local campaign supporters have called his platform a "springboard of new possibilities", based on the notion that every American deserves a basic humane standard of living where the very basics of life are provided for. "If we apply the tangled leaden mass of the current economic system to it we'll miss the point. Who knows what will happen to people when the fear and anxiety of basic survival is lifted..."
Frank Moore’s Presidential Platform follows. For more information, see the Frank Moore for President website and blog: http://www.frankmooreforpresident08.com/ & http://www.frankmooreforpresident08.com/blog/ .
PLATFORM FOR FRANK MOORE’S PRESIDENCY ‘08
I’ll do away with welfare and social security. Instead, every American will receive a minimum income of $1,000 a month. This amount will be tied to the cost of living and will not be taxable.
We will have universal prenatal-to-the-grave health care and universal free education with equal access.
I’ll do away with all tax deductions for over $12,000 income. Instead, there will be a flat tax of 10% on annual income of less than one million dollars for an individual and less than five million dollars for a corporation. But the flat tax will jump to 75% on annual income exceeding these limits.
I’ll cut the military budget by at least half.
Public mass transit will be free, 24/7, and reliable.
All patents and copyrights will expire in 20 years. Inventions, products, etc. which are developed with governmental money and/or public institutions can not be patented.
All businesses selling their products in the U.S. will have to certify that their products were manufactured in accordance with this country’s labor, wage, environmental, and safety laws ... that they meet or exceed these ... no matter where they were produced.
Each city and each “media market” will have at least two public access channels on radio, broadcast television, cable, AND satellite!
Election day will be a paid holiday.
MORE TO COME!

there's nothing artistic nor avant garde about running for president.
The last two artists we had in the White House - saxophone blower Bubba Clinton and piano tinkler Dickie NixOn - defiled the office with their narcissistic renderings.
there's got to be a more interesting and talented artist out there who could make a stronger and better informed statement on issues than Mr. More. Maybe Christo can wrap the White House in airtight duck tape or Schoenberg can compose a dissonant opus to knock some sanity into the Congress, or ... who else is there now that Frank Zappa and John Cage are dead?
