A thrilling election season is upon us with Obama vs. McCain, and Michael Moore’s new book, Mike’s Election Guide 2008, provides Democrats a way to gain numerical majorities in the House and Senate. Moore’s book provides ten Presidential Decrees for Obama’s first ten days, should he win the election. Among the ideas are reinstating the draft, criminalizing health care profiteering, and banning commercials in movie theaters.
 
Democratically biased, Republicans may be offended by some statements. This book has questions and answers, some of which are tongue in cheek, but generally hit upon issues that are important to voters. In one answer, Moore talks about the donations of party faithful and what they get in relationship to high roller lobbyists. He says for a twenty-five dollar contribution you get “… a guarantee that every presidential speech will end with that phrase that makes you feel all warm and gooey and patriotic ‘God bless the United States of America’. Cough up a lot more and you’ve got a front row seat at the trough.”
 
Moore has a number of ideas attempting to solve America’s campaign issues. McCain and Obama have similar platforms that do not address these issues. (True universal health care is not advocated by either candidate.) Moore feels we should provide it free of charge similar to fire and police protection. Social Security is not being contributed fairly by those who earn more than one hundred-and-two-thousand dollars per year.  Mike says, raise the limit!

Homeland Security is addressed by a novel approach. “Defeat Al Qaeda and the Next Generation of America-Haters by building Wells.”  Providing pure and fresh drinking water for people of the world will cost little and do a lot. Moore points out that ten dollars per person is all it will take to dig a well in any country with our current technology. 

Clean, safe drinking water will enhance our standing with the people of the world.
 
Don’t miss out on Mike’s Election Guide, as this is a great year to be an American, and a voter.
