Me for President
By Lance Carden
When I was a little child,
it was said
anyone could be President,
even me,
though I could never quite
believe it,
assuming it would have to be
somebody
obviously, undeniably right.
But now, with the presidency
filled by
Mr. Donald J. Trump,
my term
as POTUS seems less & less
mad,
& more like an absolutely
possible jump!
I’m Lance Carden, & I approve
of this ad.

All canvassers will be required to wear a mask, sign a health and safety consent form, and remain socially distant while canvassing.

For those who decide to canvass with the Biden team, we want to encourage you to stop by Democratic Headquarters (71 South Dixie Highway, Suite 6, St. Augustine, FL 32084) to pick up campaign literature for our Democrats who are also on the ballot to take along with the canvassing list and Biden literature, which would be available at Suite 3 in our building.
