EUROPE FOR PRESIDENT 2008

EUROPE IS LAUNCHING HER OWN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE FOR THE US ELECTION IN 2008

The Europe 2008 Exploratory Committee is sending Simon Robertsen and Thomas Altheimer in July 2007 to canvass the US for a suitable native-born American presidential candidate. The candidate will pledge to run for president in 2008 on a platform of European issues such as enhanced international cooperation, slashing greenhouse emissions, substituting UN for US troops in Iraq, and promoting a federal programme of subsidies for soccer and cricket schools across the nation.

America is too important to leave to the Americans!

Quotes from the June 10 press conference at Chatham House, London:

Altheimer: 'We have a huge task in front of us but I am confident that Europe will win the hearts and minds of the great American people. We believe that Europe can rise once again to dominate the world. But let me stress: it is world domination in a positive way. Unlike the nationalist Europe of the past, modern-day Europe has, through painful experience, matured to offer the world thoughtful, visionary, multilateral leadership--moving the world towards an all inclusive future where every individual is given a voice. I believe we will see a new cosmopolitan world order arise from this campaign.'

Robertsen: 'Ours is a message of common-sense, secularism, good taste--and maybe also of slight decadence. Foremost it is a message of hope.'
