5. Well that turned into an interesting experience...
I went to the rally dressed like a billionaire in a long-tailed Armani tux and top hat holding a sign that said "Small Government Big Wars". I was standing peacefully in the balcony when I felt a tap on my shoulder and a voice that said "Hi, I'm Tom Horner". Because I was a billionaire and Tom Horner supports pro-corporate policies that help billionaires I thanked him for supporting a tax policy that would keep the peasants in line. We were circled by television cameras and I was dressed in the most gaudy Armani suit ever debating a candidate for Governor over how severely the peasants should be beat down, he wasn't too happy with me for putting him in such an awkward situation but I don't know what he was thinking approaching me with cameras in tow while I was dressed like that.

6. Ha! Too funny...sorry, Horner!
The Billionaires (wherever they are, whoever they are) are great. Guess Horner is not up on it, but WHY would he approach you (the outfit, the sign)?! Uh, I know the Independents don't acknowledge a "base", but...whatever, just hilarious. Would love to see the debate on video! Let us know if anyone posts it.

Thanks for your activism, Bjorn.
