My Dear Friends,

For those of us who have too much time on our hands, the computer age has given us something from which we gain knowledge, a new means of communication and also something with which we can do silly things.

Through my long established website, www.ThoughtsForToday.net, I have been able to send out (usually) weekly proverbs, suggestions and hopefully some humor. I probably get more enjoyment out of this column than my readers, but, it is a way of occupying time and a means of expression through cyber communication.

Bumper StickerLast year I “toyed” with the AL HOFFMAN FOR PRESIDENT theme, again, nothing more than a tongue-in-cheek attempt at humor, while at the same time trying to get a few pertinent points across. Hopefully it will not offend anyone, it is not meant to criticize anyone, just an attempt at introducing a little light humor into my friends daily lives.

I have mailed close to 600 Bumper stickers this year. These stickers are desirable since when removed, they leave no residue. You would be, as am I, surprised at how many states these stickers presently are showing up. If nothing else it provokes the question, “who the hell is Al Hoffman?”

To add more to this provocative Mishigas ( Craziness), we have developed a little website thru which I will be able to send out newsletters and updates. I do ask that you read my platform , the essence of this entire effort. There is of course some ridiculous things stipulated in this platform, but, there are also some messages that deserve your thinking. Certainly the name of our alleged party, THE DEFICIT REDUCTION PARTY is in itself, something we would all like to see come to pass.

I hope you find some humor in this campaign and if you have any ideas, please feel free to contact us.

Gratefully yours,

Al Hoffman
Presidential Aspirant

My Dear Supporters

While not a written part of my Platform, one of the obvious things I intend accomplishing during my eight years as your President, is reducing red tape, thereby reducing employees in the overstaffed government.

By so doing, we will hold furniture and office equipment sales because we won’t need all the desks, computers, etc. Closed office buildings will also be sold and the money returned to reduce the deficit, less 10% for my salary.

What better way can I demonstrate the result of all the red tape that has been introduced to government than to give you the following perspective:

The Lords Prayer------------------ 66 words
Archimedes Principle------------- 67 words
The 10 Commandments----------179 words
The Gettysburg address--------- 286 words
The Declaration of
independence--------------------1300 words.
The U.S. Government Regulations
on the sale of cabbage 26,911 words

I rest my case!

Sincerely yours,

Al Hoffman
