Basil Marceaux: The New Political Activism

Isn't America great? We tell our children that when they grow up, they too can run for president or any public office. This candidate for the governorship of Tenessee shows us all that in this digital age, anyone really can run a home grown campaign:



Be sure to check out his he-did-it-himself website Basilmarceaux.com that bares everything for the world to see. He begins his website presentation with the following:

WHAT IS A GOOD SENATOR or GOVERNOR
1. FOLLOWS THE OATH TO THE CONSTITUTION
2. HAS WELL-BEING FOR THE CITIZENS RIGHTS AND SAFETY
3. PEOPLE PERSON
4. HONEST AND SMART
5. A GOOD LISTENER

Clearly, his heart is in the right place.

I do not criticize the sincerity of Mr. Marceaux and wish him Godspeed in his campaign and it is not my intent to make fun at his expense. Whatever happens in the actual vote, he will learn a great deal from the experience. We need more people like him to get out and do something positive to change whatever is wrong in the system.

I am not predicting a win, though. Nor should you take this post as an endorsement of the candidate. We all have something to learn from his enthusiasm.
