Nice Blip in the Projo....
A nice blip in the Providence Journal today:"Binder's ditty:
Congressional candidate Mark Binder, a Providence Democrat challenging U.S. Rep. Patrick Kennedy in Tuesday's primary, has recorded his own campaign song.
Binder, a professional storyteller, recorded the 1 1/2 minute ditty in what he described in a news release as a "grueling six hour" session. It is available for download from his Web site, www.markbinderforcongress.com.
The opening lyrics: "My daddy's not rich/I'm a hardworking guy/My family's not famous/and neither am I/I'll tell you one thing/and I'll tell you true/I'll represent the best that's in you."
The repeating chorus is: "Mark your ballot for Mark Binder/Mark your ballot for Mark."
Binder said the song is a way of "making people smile" about his "popularly driven campaign" while informing them about some of his top issues.
His platform includes: pushing for a quick resolution of the war in Iraq; eliminating U.S. dependence on fossil fuels by 2020; funding mandates in the No Child Left Behind Act; banning advertising for prescription drugs; allowing Medicare to bargain with drug companies; and legalizing the importation of prescription medications from Canada.
