I HAVE DECIDED TO BECOME A WRITE-IN CANDIDATE.
HERE IS MY
PLATFORM:
(1) "Press 1 for English" is immediately banned. English
is the official language; speak it or wait at the
border until you can.
(2) We will immediately go into a two year isolationist
posture to straighten out the country's
attitude. NO imports, no exports. We will use the 'Wal-Mart's policy, If we ain't got it, you don't need it.'
(3) When imports are allowed, there will be a 100%
import tax on it.
(4) All retired military personnel will be required to man
one of our many observation towers on the
southern border. (six month tour) They will be
under strict orders not to fire on SOUTHBOUND
aliens.
(5) Social security will immediately return to its original state. If you didn't put nuttin
in, you ain't gettin nuttin out. The president nor any
other politician will not be able to touch it.
(6) Welfare - Checks will be handed out on Fridays at the
end of the 40 hour school week and the
successful completion of urinalysis and a passing
grade.
(7) Professional Athletes --Steroids - The FIRST time you
check positive you're banned for life.
(8) Crime - We will adopt the Turkish method, the first
time you steal, you lose your right hand. There
is no more life sentences. If convicted, you
will be put to death by the same method you chose
for your victim; gun, knife, strangulation,
etc.
(9) One export will be allowed; Wheat, The world
needs to eat. A bushel of wheat will be the exact price
of a barrel of oil.
(10) All foreign aid using American taxpayer money
will immediately cease, and the saved money will pay
off the national debt and ultimately lower taxes.
When disasters occur around the world, we'll ask
the American people if they want to donate to a
disaster fund, and each citizen can make the
decision whether it's a worthy cause.
(11) The Pledge of Allegiance will be said every day
at school and every day in Congress.
(12) The National Anthem will be played at all
appropriate ceremonies, sporting events, outings, etc.
Sorry if I stepped on anyone's toes but a vote for
me will get you better than what you have, and better
than what you're gonna get. Thanks for listening, and remember to write in my name on
the ballot in November.
God Bless America !!!!!!!!!!!
Bill Cosby!!!!!!!!
Please Forward This to Everyone you know now matter which side
of the fence they're on.

I notice you attribute this to Bill Cosby. According to snopes.com: "We don't know who authored this reactionary "platform" for a write-in presidential candidate, but we feel safe in avowing that it was not entertainer Bill Cosby. When Mr. Cosby speaks out politically, it is generally to urge blacks to take responsibility for making the most of educational opportunities and eschewing choices that limit their potential for success. Immigration, imports, foreign aid, steroid use in sports, and insufficient recitation of the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem are not his political bêtes noires. (This "platform" has also been attributed to comedian George Carlin, and it's equally out of tune with that late comedian's commonly expressed political views.)"
Credit for not passing it off as your own work, though.
