Dear candidate,
Congratulations in your resolution to run for workplace in 2024, and thanks for entrusting our extremely skilled workforce at Ghostwriters in America’s Service with the privilege of aiding you in writing your marketing campaign guide. We perceive how scary it may be to confront the clean web page, notably and not using a richness of coverage experience or politically interesting life expertise to attract upon (and, frankly, you’re already operating a bit behind for this cycle). We’re right here for you.
Except you have got chosen to buy the Santos Bundle, a GAS author shall be in contact shortly to assemble some fundamental factual data with the intention to set to work drafting the chapters in your childhood and early maturity, which we’ve discovered can in any other case entice aspiring nationwide leaders in unproductive bouts of introspection, if not despair (lamenting roads not taken, contacting previous loves on Fb, making an attempt to tamper with public data and so on).
However it’s necessary so that you can take possession of your autobiography on the outset, in order that your genuine voice shall be heard. For that motive now we have created the connected template in your preface. We realise that, as Democrats and Republicans, you’ll face totally different challenges in your respective races. However you have to be comforted to know that these challenges are not distinctive! Whether or not you’re operating for the Home, Senate or presidency, the nationalisation and polarisation of politics have simplified a lot of campaigning, together with writing a marketing campaign guide. You don’t have to provide you with your personal concepts any extra. In reality, they will simply get you in bother. (An eccentric character camouflages this, so it helps greater than it used to, but it surely’s not important.)
One problem that endures, nevertheless, is writing a guide that can excite your base in your major with out stopping you from interesting extra broadly when you attain your general-election marketing campaign. This cycle we expect that problem is trickiest for these Republicans hoping to maintain a sure distance from former President Donald Trump (he’s not a shopper).
For that motive, we’re providing three choices within the template: MAGA (designated with an M); MAGA-Adjoining (MA); and Democrat (D). Choices and not using a partisan dimension carry no designation. We hope you’ll be happy to see how few decisions you need to make to distinguish your self. The events are extra alike than they let on! Earlier than scanning and returning the doc, simply circle the bracketed possibility that’s best for you, and be at liberty to customize the preface with adverbs and adjectives of your selecting (please restrict your self to twenty in case you may also help it):
I hear it in every single place I am going in [America/name of state/my neck of (name of state)]: mother and father are fearful for his or her kids’s future, and the nation’s. To them, the politicians and the pundits in Washington, DC, appear extra desirous about calling one another [sample adjective opportunity] names than working collectively to provide you with the sorts of commonsense options that on a regular basis Individuals type out each night at their kitchen tables.
I perceive the place that pessimism comes from. However I’m nonetheless the optimist I’ve at all times been. I consider America’s greatest days lie forward. But we stand at a crossroads, in grave peril of going backwards. American values are beneath assault. Individuals concern their devotion to alternative and [M, MA: liberty; D: equity] is held in contempt by a few of the strongest forces within the nation.
Donald Trump [M, MA: restored; D: tried to destroy] a lot that’s nice about America. The nation has come to see that so clearly through the Biden presidency. We should now discover methods to work collectively, as Individuals, [M: recommitting to; MA: respecting; D: rejecting] President Trump’s imaginative and prescient as we transfer ahead to make the nation really nice once more. I do know that what Abraham Lincoln so eloquently termed “the higher angels of our nature” haven’t flown away from this nice nation but.
However let’s face it: the forces of [M, MA: wokeness; D: white nationalism] have turn out to be a transparent and current hazard to our fundamental freedoms, together with our proper to talk with out being punished or to boost our kids as we see match. I’m sorry to say this, however I’ve at all times been recognized to talk plainly and I’m definitely not going to cease now: the reality is that lots of our opponents barely trouble to disguise their racism anymore.
Our combat for freedom should be native, nationwide and international. China represents the best risk to our nationwide curiosity because the chilly warfare. Standing [sample adverb opportunity] towards this menace means we should [M: not] proceed to commit American assets to Ukraine’s combat. We’re [M: not] in the identical grand battle to maintain alight the identical democratic torch, even when the hour appears notably darkish and wet and the matches are getting moist.
I do it my means
At residence, the impunity with which large tech firms have manipulated our politics, degraded our discourse and invaded our privateness has obtained to return to an finish. Twitter [M, MA: was; D: is] exhibit A of the issue. So is TikTok. Normally we should always, in fact, (MA: not essentially) count on our main companies to embrace and promote our views [M, D: and; MA: but] we should always insist that they transfer their provide chains away from China.
Equally, the time has come to confront the debt we’re piling on our kids. We have to get the price range again into steadiness by slicing spending on wasteful initiatives like [M, MA: DEI programmes; D: oil subsidies]. However no matter what the opposite aspect says, touching Social Safety or Medicare should be off the desk. We stand on the shoulders of those that sit in wheelchairs.
I don’t fake that any of that is simple. However I’ve by no means believed in shortcuts. The Founders [D: had their flaws, but] bequeathed to us [D: what may yet prove] the best narrative in historical past. I’ve little question that, with the correct authors to pen it, America’s subsequent chapter shall be a really particular one. ■
