Petitioning for Bloomberg '08

On Friday, a group of volunteers will circulate petitions to draft Michael Bloomberg to run for president, which will be a rare tangible (if unauthorized) sign of the mayor's hypothetical candidacy.

The petition effort is being organized by Independence Party activist Frank Morano, who has had mixed success trying to get other high-profile figures to run for office.

The petitioning will take place at 11 a.m. on Friday, at the corner of 31st St & 7th Ave, outside of the building where the Mayor conducts his weekly radio address. And, as Morano noted in a media advisory, “he'll have to pass the petition gatherers as he enters and leaves the building.”

Which means photo-ops, for anyone who's interested.

I WOULDN'T SAY WE ARE IN TROUBLE. WHAT I'D SAY IF I WERE PRESIDENT IS EVERY ILLEGAL ALIEN WHO WE ARE SURE IS ILLEGAL SHOULD BE REPORTED TO THE POLICE. EVERY TIME WE SEE A DRUGEE DEALING OR USER DOING DRUGS WE REPORT IT TO THE POLICE. EVERY DAY THAT GOES BY SHOULD BRING US CLOSER TO SEEING ELECTRIC CARS ON OUR FREEWAYS-AND COOPERATIONS SUPPORTING THIS EFFORT WILL GET SIGNIFICANT TAX BREAKS. SADAMN WAS IN A BOX WITH OUR NO FLY ZONE BEFORE WE TOOK HIM DOWN. NOW, WE ARE FIGHTING LIKE HELL AND SHOULD AT THE VERY LEAST BE REWARDED WITH A SHARE OF IRAQ'S OIL THAT WE HAVE MORALLY PAID FOR. WHY ARE WE PAYING MORE FOR OIL IF INDEED WE HAVE DONE SOMETHING GOOD IN IRAQ? THEY WANT US TO STAY, USE THEIR OIL FOR OUR INTERESTS FOR GOD SAKES. IF WE CAN SUPPORT IRAQ TO THE EXTEND THAT WE ALREADY HAVE, WE CAN AFFORD TO PAY FOR OUR OWN PROTECTION AT HOME.
