Fake scenario.
I am Eaton Doolittle and I am running for the office of president of the United States.
I ask you to send me exactly $10 to take care of the costs of maintaining my website, and certain other incurred costs, but not one dime more. I will refuse all other donations exceeding $10. I will accept NO money from lobbyists or special interest groups. I will further accept no government monies in my campaign, and I will donate whatever funds are left over after my campaign, win or lose, to a charity to feed the poor.
I will not travel from town to town making lame speeches, I will use my own family car if I need to go anywhere, or take the cheapest airline if I must travel. I will eat only modest meals, I will not kiss babies or shake hands, but I will discuss issues important to saving America from tyranny.
If I am elected, I will require one large room in the white house, and I will work for room and board for the current minimum wage, meals of course must be provided, but there will be no banquets, or extravagant re-decorating. My family and I will leave the place exactly as we found it, and we will keep it clean and presentable.
Air force one will be retired with the Spruce Goose at the Smithsonian, as an historic reminder of the baronial excesses of the past, and all soldiers will be brought home, from every nation, and all Roman bases will be closed and turned into free clothing outlets for the needy.
All of our debts will be paid off and we will remain solvent, not overdrawn. We will keep our money here, at home, and we will keep our military here too, to protect us from insane insurgents in suits.
Tell me citizen, is ten lousy bucks too much to ask to spread my gospel of frugality and common conservative sense? Send your $10 to me, Eaton Doolittle today. You'll be glad you did, or your money back, guaranteed.
