Exactly why Politics suck

Presidential Requirements

 

The Constitution requires that a candidate for the presidency must be a “natural-born” citizen of the United States, at least 35 years of age, and a resident of the United States for at least 14 years.

You must have a heart, and a working mind.

How Much Does it Cost to Run for President?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Campaigning for president can be a very expensive proposition. Running a campaign to win a presidential primary can range in cost from $50 million US Dollars (USD) to over $100 million USD. By itself, this cost is already enormous. However, there’s even more that must be spent to run for president. Once the primaries are over and the nominees begin their campaigns to win the general election, an additional $75 million USD is typically spent.

WASHINGTON - There were 744,000 homeless people in the United States in 2005, according to the first national estimate in a decade.

 

A little more than half were living in shelters, and nearly a quarter were chronically homeless, according to the report Wednesday by the National Alliance to End Homelessness, an advocacy group.

A majority of the homeless were single adults, but about 41 percent were in families, the report said.

    By voting for me for president, you can help stop the bleeding of the megaspending on campaigns. I have spent a total of $2.75 on my campaign. If a presidential candidate can’t be frugal with his or her campaign, how can we expect them to be frugal with our money?

    Well, said! So we shall see your name on the ballot then? LOL

    Not only have I not spent money on the campaign, I haven’t bothered to spend the money to get my name on the ballot. I am relying on a massive write-in campaign. I have included a link to the entry that will explain to people how to spell my name. http://ahmnodtheare.wordpress.com/2008/03/29/writing-in-ahmnodt-heare/
    Have a good day. :)
