                    A vote for Velma is a vote for anarchy

I came across this letter to the editor of the Transylvania Times [1] that is
just too good not to share.

> A Vote For Anarchy
>
> My name is Velma Owen. I'm an 84-year-old grandmother of seven. I've lived
> in Transylvania County my whole life, and I'm thinking about running a
> write-in campaign for president of the United States. I read letters in
> this paper all the time of people complaining about this politician or that
> politician, but I got a plan we could all get behind.
>
> As president, I will disband the entire government. We all hate it anyway.
> Let's just get rid of it. My grandson thinks we need the government for the
> post office and roads, but he's voting for the socialist. Besides, the post
> office is useless since UPS (United Parcel Service) came around, and I
> haven't cared much about the roads since I quit driving.
>
> And don't get me started on taxes. Taxes are a load of bull. I could give
> the government my first born child and they'd still want the second and
> third. (They can take the fourth.) All that money out of my pocket, and for
> what? So some politician can write a law that gets me in trouble for
> driving my mower on Highway 64.
>
> Anyway, if you're as sick of it as I am, then write-in Velma Owen in the
> general election in November. We'll close this government like it's the K-
> Mart.
>
> Remember: A vote for Velma is a vote for anarchy.
>
> Velma Owen
>  Lake Toxaway
>

There's not much else to add to this but, Vote Velma!
