A WORD FROM JASON KLAMM
As I write these words, I have just turned 24 years of age. Ten days ago, on July 4th, 2004, I held my first campaign rally to become president in the years 2020 and 2016, respectively. The latter being the year in which I will first qualify, at 36, to actually be nominated, and then elected, into the office. Many people, most of them on my campaign team, have asked me why I am running so early for an office for which I am so unqualified (in age, they hasten to add). And when faced with such a question, I answer the obvious – how can I be elected without a constituency? And how better to gain a consistent base of support than to run 12 and 16 years early for one office – and one office only – and to spend those 12 and 16 years campaigning and only campaigning? It is mathematically obvious that more people will know who I am after that extended period, and will have known about my campaign, by the time the 2020 or 2016 elections roll around.
I only want, and plan to be seen, as a presidential candidate. This has been my goal for most of my life, and a good portion of my campaign. Rather than go from Senator Klamm or Representative Klamm straight to President Klamm, I want to go from Eventual President to Mr. President. That’s the more modest, and therefore preferable, promotion – straight from citizen to incredibly well-known citizen. I need your support and I can’t have that if you don’t know I exist.
If this book does nothing else, it at least confirms my existence. And that’s the first step to getting my name on a ballot.
