If you think Ross Perot hates the attention he is getting, you do
not know much about him. He eats this crap up. Especially if it
can repair some of the damage his lack of direction has done to his
precious image.

So you want to fix things by voting for a man who has answered every
question concerning the issues with either "it's up to the volunteers,"
or "it's in the book."

I have to agree with you as far as Bush is concerned. He has brought
avoiding issues to an art. However it amazes me that people keep
saying this about Bill Clinton. Nobody has ever submitted a more 
complete plan for the future of America during an election campaign
than Clinton. Read HIS book, Putting People First, and tell me
Perot's book deals with as many issues as Clinton's. It's just not
true. This reminds me of a skit on Saturday Night Live last week. It
was a Nightline episode where they were doing a "Town Hall" meeting
with Bill and Hillary Clinton. A series of people came up to the mike,
asked a question, and no matter how detailed Clinton explained his
stand on the issue, the questioner would just say he didn't answer
and stomped off.

Before you waste your vote on a novelty, read Clinton's book. It
is also at your local bookstore. You may decide that you like 
Perot's plan better, but you will be making an educated decision.
I have heard a disturbingly high number of people complain that
Clinton hasn't addressed the issues. Nobody in political history
has answered more questions, made more public appearances, talked
to more Americans, and , more importantly, listened to more
Americans than Bill Clinton. These people complaining that they
don't know where Clinton stands won't watch his interviews, won't
read his book, and will not listen to anyone who offers to
explain what they know about Clinton's positions. Most of Perot's
support seems to come from people who realize that Bush has to go.
But they refuse to vote for a person with "Democrat" next to their 
name. These people who are so hung up on party affiliation are 
the same ones who complain that the government operates based on
the same philosophy. Goverment responds to our voting habits. 
When we start voting for the person instead of the party, the
government will start working for the people instead of just 
working for their party. In watching the news about Ross Perot's
big summit here in Dallas yesterday, I noticed that he seemed to
like what the Clinton team had to say. I think he wants to join
Clinton in some way. Supporting Clinton's election and then
demanding that he deliver is the best way to correct the problems
we are facing. It's too bad his volunteers will probably
put party affiliation above the issues they claim to be so 
interested in.
