Simplest way to spend it - do what Ross Perot did in 1992

Buy up time on all three networks - or on absolutely every single station in the country including all the ones on cable. Say whatever you want. Do it for an hour a day, two hours a day, right in primetime, whatever it takes - to get your message out there, whatever that message is. That is value for money, and it is the easiest way to go.

I want the doctor to take your picture so I can look at you from inside as well.

Blabbing about nothing for two hours a day is hardly getting value for your money.

Stupid suggestion.

Fine - then blab about something. Something that matters. Save the whales! or kill them all, I don't care. But that would be value for money spent - reaching people with your message.

It works for Fox News.

Promise me, no matter how hopeless things get, keep on trying, OK? Keep coming chin-up, OK?

I dont disagree that this is the easiest way to suck up money. From what I can see, the problem would be getting on the ballot in the first place. I know its just a movie but securing the signatures and nomination even for a minor party isnt the easiest to do in 30 days.

Though I will say that you can spend a ton of money on that process as well. But it certainly isnt easy.

Brewster did that.....he bought time on all 3 major networks in prime time plus he also bought time on channels in all 50 states in case any New Yorkers are on vacation
