Vote for me!
For for pragmatism.
Vote for teachers!
Vote for safe streets.
Vote for your neighbors.
Vote your conscience!
Vote for progressivism.
Vote for family values.
Vote for common sense,
for decency, for protections.
Vote for change,
for innovation,
for transformation.
Vote as if your
property values
depend on it.
Vote as if
your daughter's life
is on the ballot.
Votes for Women!
Vote for the incumbent,
stability and status quo.
Vote for the unknown, for hope,
for breaking of norms.
Vote for him!
Vote for her!
Vote for them!
Vote for this Judge,
vote for that one.
Vote for this Sherif.
Vote for your County!
Vote for your State!
Vote for the environment,
I'm favored by the Sierra Club,
as you can read about on these
500,000 mailers I sent!
The older I get
the harder it feels
to discern the difference
between one slick flier
and the next.
Vote!
Vote!
Vote!
Vote!
