    > PLEASE CONSIDER MY EXPERIENCE WHEN VOTING IN 2004 EXPERIENCE AND
    > EDUCATION Law Enforcement: I was arrested in Kennebunkport, Maine, in
    > 1976 for driving under the influence of alcohol. I pleaded guilty,
    > paid a fine, and had my driver's license suspended for 30 days. My
    > Texas driving record has been "lost" and is not available. Military: I
    > joined the Texas Air National Guard and went AWOL. I refused to take a
    > drug test or answer any questions about my drug use. By joining the
    > Texas Air National Guard, I was able to avoid combat duty in Vietnam.
    > College: I graduated from Yale University with a low C average. I was
    > a cheerleader. PAST WORK EXPERIENCE: I ran for U.S. Congress and lost.
    > I began my career in the oil business in Midland, Texas in 1975. I
    > bought an oil company, but couldn't find any oil in Texas. The company
    > went bankrupt shortly after I sold all my stock. I bought the Texas
    > Rangers baseball team in a sweetheart deal that took land using
    > taxpayer money. With the help of my father and our friends in the oil
    > industry (including Enron CEO Ken Lay), I was elected governor of
    > Texas. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS GOVERNOR OF TEXAS: I changed Texas pollution
    > laws to favor power and oil companies, making Texas the most polluted
    > state in the Union. During my tenure, Houston replaced Los Angeles as
    > the most smog-ridden city in America. I cut taxes and bankrupted the
    > Texas treasury to the tune of billions in borrowed money. I set the
    > record for the most executions by any governor in American history.
    > With the help of my brother, the governor of Florida, and my father's
    > appointments to the Supreme Court, I became President after losing by
    > over 500,000 votes. ACCOMPLISHMENTS AS PRESIDENT: I am the first
    > President in U.S. history to enter office with a criminal record. I
    > invaded and occupied two countries at a continuing cost of *over one
    > billion dollars per week*. I spent the U.S. surplus and effectively
    > bankrupted the U.S. Treasury. I shattered the record for the largest
    > annual deficit in U.S. history. I set an economic record for most
    > private bankruptcies filed in any 12-month period. I set the all-time
    > record for most foreclosures in a 12-month period. I set the all-time
    > record for the biggest drop in the history of the U.S. stock market.
    > In my first year in office, over 2 million Americans lost their jobs
    > and that trend continues every month. I'm proud that the members of my
    > cabinet are the richest of any administration in U.S. history. My
    > "poorest millionaire," Condoleeza Rice, has a Chevron oil tanker named
    > after her. I set the record for most campaign fundraising trips by a
    > U.S. President. I am the all-time U.S. and world record-holder for
    > receiving the most corporate campaign donations. One of my best
    > friends, Kenneth Lay, presided over the largest corporate bankruptcy
    > fraud in U.S. History, Enron. My political party used Enron private
    > jets and corporate attorneys to assure my success with the U.S.
    > Supreme Court during my election decision. I have protected my friends
    > at Enron and Halliburton against investigation or prosecution. More
    > time and money was spent investigating the Monica Lewinsky affair than
    > has been spent investigating one of the biggest corporate rip-offs in
    > history. I presided over the biggest energy crisis in U.S. history and
    > refused to intervene when corruption involving the oil industry was
    > revealed. I presided over the highest gasoline prices in U.S. history.
    > I changed the U.S. policy to allow convicted criminals to be awarded
    > government contracts. I appointed more convicted criminals to
    > administration than any President in U.S. history. I created the
    > Ministry of Homeland Security, the largest bureaucracy in the history
    > of the United States government. I've broken more international
    > treaties than any President in U.S. history. I am the first President
    > in U.S. history to have the United Nations remove the U.S. from the
    > Human Rights Commission. I withdrew the U.S. from the World Court of
    > Law. I refused to allow inspector's access to U.S. "prisoners of war"
    > detainees and thereby have refused to abide by the Geneva Convention.
    > I am the first President in history to refuse United Nations election
    > inspectors (during the 2002 U.S. election). I set the record for
    > fewest numbers of press conferences of any President since the advent
    > of television. I set the all-time record for most days on vacation in
    > any one-year period. After taking off the entire month of August, I
    > presided over the worst security failure in U.S. history. I garnered
    > the most sympathy for the U.S. after the World Trade Center attacks
    > and less than a year later made the U.S. the most hated country in the
    > world, the largest failure of diplomacy in world history. I have set
    > the all-time record for most people worldwide to simultaneously
    > protest me in public venues (15 million people), shattering the record
    > for protests against any person in the history of mankind. I am the
    > first President in U.S. history to order an unprovoked, preemptive
    > attack and the military occupation of a sovereign nation. I did so
    > against the will of the United Nations, the majority of U.S. citizens,
    > and the world community. I have cut health care benefits for war
    > veterans and support a cut in duty benefits for active duty troops and
    > their families -- in wartime. In my State of the Union Address, I lied
    > about our reasons for attacking Iraq and then blamed the lies on our
    > British friends. I am the first President in history to have a
    > majority of Europeans (71%) view my presidency as the biggest threat
    > to world peace and security. I am supporting development of a nuclear
    > "Tactical Bunker Buster," a WMD. I have so far failed to fulfill my
    > pledge to bring Osama Bin Laden to justice. During the Iraq War and
    > Occupation thousands of American troops were injured and killed. I did
    > not have the time to attend any of the funerals for our fallen
    > soldiers but I did have the time to attend more than 43 fundraising
    > events of the Republican party. RECORDS AND REFERENCES: All records of
    > my tenure as governor of Texas are now in my father's library, sealed
    > and unavailable for public view. All records of SEC investigations
    > into my insider trading and my bankrupt companies are sealed in
    > secrecy and unavailable for public view. All records or minutes from
    > meetings that I, or my Vice-President, attended regarding public
    > energy policy are sealed in secrecy and unavailable for public review.
