I'm running for president because I can. Why is it a grassroots campaign, you ask? 1. I pulled some weeds yesterday, along with some grass roots. 2. I promise everyone their yards will be safe. 3. The grassroots are always greener on this side of the fence. 4. My name contains the word "Green". Grass is green. 5. It was recently St. Patrick's day, and I wore a green shirt. As previously mentioned, grass is green. I also have Homer's [i]Iliad[/i] in my backpack, which I'm pretty sure makes me an intellectual.
