Term Limits and Mortality no Barrier to FDR's 2004 Campaign

Write-In Campaign aims to re-elect Franklin Delano Roosevelt for a fourth (and posthumous) term.

LOS ANGELES, July 7, 2003

In an unusual write-in campaign backed by attractive campaign graphics and an apparent disregard for mortality, Democrats and Independents are being urged to vote for Franklin Delano Roosevelt in the 2004 campaign.

I know its in violation of term limits!" exclaims Bradley W. Schenck, an artist in Southern California. I dont care! Presidential term limits were just a posthumous revenge on FDR by the Republicans, anyway."

The I Want Roosevelt Again" campaign seems to be in full swing at http://www.theretrovert.com. The campaign graphics, based on an original 1930s campaign button, are available on bumper stickers, shirts, mugs, and cards. Voters who are tired of two political parties who are afraid to sound any different from one another should consider voting for FDR, who was the 20th centurys original Great Communicator," Schenck asserts. Nobody is likely to mistake the architect of the New Deal with middle-of-the-road politics, and todays democratic hopefuls could certainly learn a lot from an actual pragmatic liberal."

When questioned about the difficulties of electing a dead president, Schenck waves dismissively. Electing him is easy. The interesting problem is how he serves his term, but were working on that. Trust me."
