It is a delight to see that so many worthy Americans have filed Statements of Candidacy for the 2012 Presidential race. My favourite today, at number 22, is President Emperor Caesar. He should win three times over.
The Criteria for all of these fine folks?:
1. The individual has received contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or made expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000
or
2. The individual has given consent to another person to receive contributions or make expenditures on behalf of him or herself and that person has received contributions aggregating in excess of $5,000 or made expenditures aggregating in excess of $5,000
What about those serious people who can’t raise $5,000? It seems so unfair. Call Congress. Call your Governor. Impeach something.
