Joe For President
by Michael Persicano
After much thought and discernment over the upcoming election I put to you this alternative candidate for President of The United States. Commonly known as "Joe", I believe a good cup of coffee would make a great president. Crazy? I think not! Just consider the following:
Joe For President
- Who else can truly reach across the aisle and unify both parties, has no partisan ties and is loved by Democrats and Republicans alike? JOE! From the very early days in our country's history he has played a critical role in our political process. Who was there to fill the void of caffeinated beverages when Mother England's tea was tossed in Boston harbor? None other than JOE!
- And let's talk about foreign policy experience. Having been around thousands of years and whose lineage comes from countries like Ethiopia, Colombia, Mexico, India, Indonesia, Kenya, Brazil, Yemen (formerly Arabia) and many more, who else is more qualified to deal with the pressing needs of foreign policy? JOE!
- When it comes to thoughtful and creative ways to solve our nation's critical problems like the economy, climate change, healthcare and energy exploration, I say let JOE take a shot at it. The coffee houses of past centuries were breeding grounds of social discourse and political debate. Our ancestors must have known of the political and social powers of JOE! I say let's get back to our roots!
- JOE is one of us. He has nothing to hide. He's been there in good times and bad. He's stood alongside our brave soldiers in times of war and struggled right along with us during economic downturns and recessions. He's dined with princes and paupers alike, and every time he was still JOE. He has substance. He's not transparent (unless brewed poorly). We know who he is and what he stands for!
So I implore you fellow Americans. We have another choice come Election Day. A vote for JOE is a vote for good taste for generations to come. So this election day, vote your conscience and vote for JOE!
