Eric Young for President, 2012 got off to a fast start. With 7 likes (not counting my own) within the first hour of posting, I knew I was on to something. Unfortunately, with classes and such, I completely forgot to develop a complex platform and gather funding. Thus, my campaign slowed down in terms of its function, not its slope.
I only recently realized that I did not have a well-developed platform for my campaign. Until today, my main tenet has been that everyone should vote for me. While that is helpful in campaigning, it is not quite enough. Thus, I set my think-tank to work on finding me a platform.
I have decided that Snoopy doing his famous Snoopy Dance (the happy dance, which can be viewed in still-life at the top of http://www.peanuts.com/characters/snoopy/, will be my platform. Yes, the dance itself will be my platform. Related to it, however will be my aim that all Americans experience increased participation in this dance whether in private or among friends and non-friends.
I have chosen the Snoopy Dance because it is unrivaled in terms of exultance and gratitude. One cannot help but be a better person by engaging in the Snoopy Dance. Indeed, anyone who is a true American will be proud to dance the Snoopy Dance. The simplicity of this platform adds tremendous strength and clarity to my cause. The first program I enact is that all Americans will adopt the tradition of dancing the Snoopy Dance after reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or hearing The Star Spangled Banner—afterwards, of course.
A final note regarding my campaign is that I have crushed my first opponent. Chase has informally agreed to not run in this year’s election. He outwardly claims that this is so he can help garner more support for Vermin Supreme (official site: http://www.verminsupreme.com/; recently spoke at the New Hampshire elections, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R2TsYHQnV5w) . However, this is a clear indication that I have instilled fear in him and that he recognizes the superiority of my campaign.
Remember to vote for Eric Young this year.
