Finally the L:ue cf defense. Ctccldn America's

I would propose a new way to VrlX wars. If,
heaven forbid, we are ever drawn into a situation
where we are forced to ena in battle to preserve
democracy (or If the commies us on), we should
have a beet-of-seven tournament cf some sort I'd

There are a couple of technicalities I must
address before I start my formal campaigning One
13 the fact that I'm net a Republican. However, I
don't consider that a mrjor barrier. Although I'm
not a registered Republican, IVe clivaya considered
the party a haven of virtue, intelligence and political
fair-play.
It'd be just like those dirty Republicans to do
something like accusing me cf being a Democrat, so I
. have an alternative. If they won't let me run eainst
Exon, 111 run against Edward Zorinsfcy. In that case,
it'd be a Republican running on the Democratic
ticket against a Democrat on the Republican ticket.
And they say Nebraskans dont understand parti
san politics." t
The ether technicality h that in order to run for
the Senate, you're supposed to be 20. I'm only 21.
, This concerned me for awhile until I figured, what
are they going to do, card me? '
111 just carefully sidestep the ee issue throughout
the campaign. For example, if one of those smart
mouthed reporters says to me, Hey, you don't look
00," 111 respond, "Really? Why, thank you. Nobody's
ever said that before." Once I'm elected, theyll be too
embarrassed to brin up the issue tain.
Believe me, I hate to start the campaign with this
note of deception. Normally, I would never think of
usurping the system that our forefathers so care
fully devised to ensure a fair election. However,
something inside me tells me IH be the most for
thright, honest and principled senator this state has
ever had, even if I have to cheat to win. Besides, I
need to do something after I graduate.
My campaign will stress issues. This country faces
a number of financial diScultias, including sky-
lYlfcf I ''f rf if 4 a f
interest rate3. Lleasurcs need to be enacted to avoid
financial collapse. I have a few caseations.
Postage stamps could be made contraband. This
way a 20-cent stamp would have a street value of
The state of Idaho could be made into a theme
park. The revenue from "Spudland," as well as the
use of Sammy Spud in commercials, could go
directly into federal government coffers.
Regulation cf industry also eats up an unneces-
sarily large portion cf the'natienal budget I would
introduce legislation tht would give incentives to
businesses to se'J-regulate. For example if they ;
didn't cooperate, they would be forced to read Paid .

theme we need to explore. Too often, governmental
