It has been suggested that I run for Mayor, but why stop there?
Get over McCain and Obama and vote for the one guy who will actually bring meaningful change to the American political scene. That's right! Vote for me and end this dreadful gridlock in Washington!
Go to Channel 3's website (just click on the header,) and see why the world wants TOM FORD for president! That's right, TOM FORD! You say you want to end all this bickering, all this wasteful spending, all this refusal to listen to the huddled masses, the refusal to investigate problems and questionable appointment's of friends to commissions? (gee that sounds local.) Well you finally have a choice!
So as you can see there is no need to stop at the job of Mayor, when the world awaits! My friends, join the great unwashed, take a stand for what you believe in and show the politicians just how you feel because "your future is at stake!"
Darn, I guess this will have to wait as we have some fish to fry right here in Crestwood! Ah well, as Everet Dirkson said, "All politics is local." That said, what say we meet at the BOA meeting and tell our elected "officials" just what we think of their ideas!
Tom Ford
NO. 538

Subject: Harry Truman,
Harry Truman, from Missouri , was a different kind of President. He
probably made as many important decision regarding our nation's
history as any of the other 42 Presidents. However, a measure of his
greatness may rest on what he did after he left the White House.
Historians have written the only asset he had when he died was the
house he lived in, which was in Independence Missouri . On top of
that, his wife inherited the house from her Mother.
When he retired from office in 1952, his income was a U.S. Army
pension reported to have been $13,507.72 a year. Congress, noting
that he was paying for his stamps and personally licking them,
granted him an 'allowance' and, later, a retroactive pension of
$25,000 per year.
After President Eisenhower was inaugurated, Harry and Bess drove home
to Missouri by themselves. There were no Secret Service following
them.
When offered corporate positions at large salaries, he declined,
stating, "You don't want me. You want the office of the President,
and that doesn't belong to me. It belongs to the American people and
it's not for sale."
Even later, on May 6, 1971, when Congress was preparing to award
him the Medal of Honor on his 87Th birthday, he refused to accept it,
writing, "I don't consider that I have done anything which should be
the reason for any award, Congressional or otherwise."
Modern politicians have found a new level of success in cashing in on
the Presidency, resulting in untold wealth. Today, many in Congress
also have found a way to become quite wealthy while enjoying the
fruits of their offices. Political offices are now for sale.
Good old Harry Truman was correct when he observed, "My choices
early in life were either to be a piano player in a whorehouse or
a politician. And to tell the truth, there's hardly any difference."
Tom Ford
"Run Tom, run"
