Campaign update #1:

  As many of you may well know, we have begun the rally to bring the amazing, stupendous Batman a.k.a. Bruce Wayne to the head office of the United States of America.  This is the second of these call to arms messages in support of Batman for president.  At this point we shall further explain the first of many platforms Batman has developed as his guideline if elected president, and we shall also provide more depth as to the nature of the Batman 2000 campaign.  First and foremost you should be advised that an initial string of flyers has been put into rotation, another will hit the streets within the month.  We are still in the process of putting together a campaign t-shirt and a series of Batman in 2000 pins.  These should be available no later than the end of July.

   LAW ENFORCEMENT:  If Batman is elected president the overall cost of law enforcement would most definitely be minimized.  A president with so many years experience with some of the world's most heinous super villains quite simply knows how to go about putting crime to an end in the most cost and time efficient manor.  Strictly against the death penalty Batman has been best known for the "catch a criminal in the act-subdue them-and discretely tie them to the nearest light post for local law enforcement to retrieve at their leisure" tactic.  Batman believes in second, and even third, chances:  He would first put a villain into the custody of the maximum security, yet easily escapable, Arkham asylum and gladly recapture them after said easy escape before signing away their lives to the death penalty.  Everyone deserves sympathy, compassion, and sometimes a swift kick to the ribs, no matter how evil they may be.

   BUDGET/TAXES:  An immediate decrease in taxes would be sure to ensue with the diminishing of crime and the enforcement thereof.  The possibility for the rechanneling of this tax change could be the improvement of America's impoverished community's quality of living.  A candidate for the working person, Batman stands behind and in support of all those ready to stand up for themselves, and at the same time he is fully prepared to initiate an extensive attempt to reduce poverty and homelessness.  A balanced budget is in the sights of the Batman administration as well, at the end of each year any surplus of government revenue would be taken out of circulation in order to rebuild the value of the American dollar.

   Furthermore Batman supports truth and justice above all things, and to attempt to find something wrong with that would be futile at best.  Keep in mind that if for no other reason you can write in your vote this year for "Batman a.k.a. Bruce Wayne" to simply gauge the effect your single vote can have on an election of such a grand scale.  Granted the electoral college may have something to say about the election of an entirely fictitious character, but it's the effort that counts.  Seeing even a single percent of the popular vote in Batman's name is goal enough for us.  So join us in this act of random civil disobedience, and rally under the great, dark wing of Batman.

   Remember not to forward this email but to copy and paste it into a new message window and send it thereof to all those you know, and also in order to provide some form of an estimate of the approximate support Batman will have this November, email us back at votebatman@home.com to simply state your intent to vote, or even to tell us how incredibly juvenile you think this/we are.  And if you have any questions you can ask them at the same time.  If you have yet to do so, be sure to register to vote soon.  Another email shall be soon in the coming, with updates on t-shirt price and ordering information, ideas for a running mate, and more depth in the area of campaign platforms.

Sincerely,The founding members of the Batman 2000 campaign,
     Michael T. Squier, Jason M. Rutyna, Nathan Petrusak, and Scott Steiger
