This is the greatest thing since peenut butter and nanner sammies!! You can count on the support of all the munks at Bull City Monkey Town. We are going to do everything we can to spread the peenut but-I mean, spread the word about you.
I often think about what a wonderfuller world it would be if Sock Monkeys ran things, Now, Great Grandma willing, the world will get to see just what munks are capable of. Good luck to you, Sock Monkey, and Lumpy, too.

I'm sure this country could be run better with a sock monkey in office, but I'm going to see a more developed platform before I hand over my vote.
What's your view on the appropriate penalty for dogs who attack sock monkeys?
What about careless people who leave rusty nails and rough wood where a sock monkey could get snagged?
Do you support free Windmere treatment centers for sock monkeys who can't afford a sweater shaver and get covered with little nits?

Ooooohhhhh.... We're going to have so much fun.

Dear (name here) Knitty,
May I call you Knitty ? Thank you for your questions/concerns. People/Monkeys like you are what make this country great.
(answer questions here.)
on dogs attacking sock monkeys:
Well, in the past, previously, waterboarding was the preferred method of punishment and finding out the accomplices. There always are, you know. But due to recent developments, we have found it necessary to reassess our procedures.
about rusty nails and rough wood:
they’re very careless people.
Windmere Treatment Centers:
I believe that has been covered adequately in my Postion Paper Number 2 – “Health Insurance” [ http://tmars.iwarp.com/sockmonkey08...on_Paper_02.pdf ] . Posted at my campaign web site. [ http://tmars.iwarp.com/sockmonkey08/index.html ]
I look forward to addressing all your questions/concerns as time proceeds/permits. I hope you’ll visit the website to keep up with developments. I hope to have a new position soon on something.

well, certainly if people were leaving stuff around on purpose to hurt sock monkeys than serious punishment should happen. But, as I said last night recent events have forced us to reassess those actions. However, if people are just careless, than a stern talking to, perhaps even a scolding, along with an education program about the dangers to sock monkeys often works better.
And, of course, as you know, Sock Monkey Appreciation Week is coming up soon, and that means a good opportunity to educate your people about this danger, as well as ask for presents.

Dear Buford,
You ask, Will your staff include sock monkeys of different colors?
Wow, this is great. I’m getting the hang of this response form. Cool, huh?
I don’t exclude any sock monkey because of his color, or looks either (just look at Lumpy. heeheehee).
But it’s gonna take more than just being a sock monkey to get on my staff. I mean, I’ve got some friends here who really are about as dumb as a shoe.

I was just joking, Lumpy. sorree!

when you win, will you have to move to Washington DC or will you have an alternative capitol?
I am available for Secretary of The Fence if you end up near Bull City. I would also consider Secretary of Health and Sockosimian Services should that position be available.

When is Sock Monkey Appreciation week? - Ginger
Sock Monkey Appreciation Week runs from January 1st through January 10th. This is so that people can take advantage of the after Christmas sales when they’re buying sock monkey gifts. There may also be some New Year’s Eve cake they may wish to share.
What does Lumpy do? - knitty
Lumpy, right now, is helping to home-school the mooselets and the sheeplet. As you can imagine, they can be a handful. He’s also taking some correspondence courses so that he can become a rocket scientist.
His gentle yet inquisitive nature has a certain allure, and he has been named in the "Top 10 most available bachelor Monkeys". So he keeps busy with that too.
Will you move to DC when you win? - googlie
I'm pretty much a tropical Monkey, thank you, and I will stay in Florida where I live now. All my friends and my four dogs are here. I am thinking of renting out the white house and giving that money to needy monkeys and peoples. How about an ice skating rink in there? A chinese restaurant? A banana plantation? How about a PRETZEL MANUFACTURER???????
And when I win, I will have my transition committee contact you. Do you know enough about fences? and do you have any skeletons in your closet?

I know a lot about fences and I will continue to study the subject. If appointed, my department motto will be "Don't fence me in!" As for skeletons, I looked in three closets before I got caught. I saw no skeletons, but I did see some very interesting bags and packages and even presents!!!!
If you are approached by Uncle Gabby, you may want to be careful, especially if you don't want to mess with skeletons. Here's a picture of him:

you are right, Elizabeth. I forgot all about him. He may be in a closet somewhere. Well, shoot.
Sock Monkey, I will understand if this disqualifies me for a cabinet position. I'm sure there are many good sockosimians who do not have skeletons in their closets.

Googlie,
There’s really nothing wrong with a few skeletons in the closet.
Me and Lumpy got ours out.
But, there is one thing I’m afraid of. I’m afraid of shoes!! Are there any other monkeys who are scared of shoes too?

Hey Scout,
Recent events seem to indicate that perhaps there may be some technology failures and/or issues that are possibly having an effect of slowing down the development of my campaign. But I’m not sure.
I’ll need some patience while those get fixed. In the meantime, have a snack. I’m gonna.
Oh, hey Mace? Brown Bear would like a quiet word with you.

well, it is true that he is just a big teddy bear,and all the little mooselets and sheeplets and bearlets just love him. But just one look at his steely gaze tells you he’s resolute but patient, and he’s totally devoted to his family.
But… I thought this was supposed to be all about me.
If you’re a good boy, Mace, I may be able to find you a spot in my administration. And don’t forget to visit the campaign’s web site http://tmars.iwarp.com/sockmonkey08. I’ll be posting a new campaign ad soon.
And did you know that Lester has arrived safely in New Mexico? He’s going to be heading up my campaign in the American southwest. We’re all so excited here, that we had to have a party. dancing under the full moon, cakes and pies and chocolate and nanner smoothies, and the mooselets stayed up past their bedtime too. We all had such a good time.
And check this out support grows for Sock Monkey.
Well, until later, then. Me and Lumpy are having nanner sandwiches for breakfast. I’d invite you all over, but I’m not allowed to tell you where I live. Security you know. Plus then there wouldn’t be enough for me and Lumpy, Brownie, Proto the Sock Frog, and the rest of the Finch Family. Hmmm, maybe we won’t invite the rest. They do tend to eat too much, and leave crumbs all over the place they’re so messy.

Hi knitty,
I hope it’s not real cold where you are. It’s real nice here where I live.
Well, the way Lumpy makes ‘em, he makes great!! sandwiches, you know, what he does, is takes a nanner, and puts it between two nanners, and then carefully squeezes them down together. You have to be careful, or the nanner squirts out the sides. I know! I tried. Then he does something with his hands on both sides, like this, and that’s it. Ready to eat. Sometimes, he puts marshmallows or peanut butter inside too. Yumm. That’s making me hungry.
No, I didn’t have a lot of chance to introduce Lester. He didn’t stay with us long, cause he was anxious to join his assistant, Brian, who went on ahead to make sure they had a place to live. But, I was able to sneak my newest campaign newsletter on the end of a post at a blog. :
why I’m voting for Sock Monkey
It’s after the rants, so you can scroll down to read it. There’s stuff about Lester, and a picture too. You’ll see that he is quite a handsome fellow. And I’ll keep you up to date on his adventures if you want.

Hi Sock Monkey-
It's really cold here. We've had to raid Coco's Closet for blankets and fleece jackets.
Lester looks like an industrious monkey. I'd look forward to hearing about his experiences on the campaign trail. This is an exciting time in political sock monkey history. I made a sweep of the couch cushions and found 12 cents and a paperclip I'd be happy to donate to your campaign if I can find a stamp and envelope.
On a side note, you might consider a larger font for those blogs. Some of us sock monkeys have vision impairments. It's especially common with googlie eyes. I've got a bit of googcauma myself.
Sock on!

I'm sorry it's so cold there. But spring's coming soon, I hope. I'll check with Mr Calendar.
I dug around for a stamp, and I found one. I put it on an envelope to mail to you. I had to leave it blank, cause I didn't know your address, and it came back to me a couple of days later. I found a dime while I was looking for the stamp, so now I have even more money. But, I could use the paper clip.
Sock Monkey buttons? uh oh. Was I supposed to have them? If I'm supposed to, I guess I'll have to find some. I'm new at this, you know. I do have a button that fell off grandpa's sweater. Will that work?
Well, it's dark now, so it must be close to bedtime. I'll talk to you later.

Hi, knitty. Thanks for letting me know. Me and Lumpy had been thinking about giving some thought to attending the festival this year. But all of a sudden, wherever we go turns into an instant media circus. You know how that goes. Those TV trucks even show up outside grandpa’s job a lot. And they trample all over whatever flowers are around. They’re so rude, I could just stamp my foot. So we’ll probably have to go on over to the thread, and make our apologies. We hope maybe next year after all the hullaballoo quiets down. Hey, maybe we can have a party at the White House. You’ll come, won’t you?
We did real good on super duper tuesday. Me and Lumpy made a big batch of cookies, and we stayed up late in our pajamas watching re-runs. We even got a write-in vote in Kansas, and we didn’t even drink champagne there.
*****
Immediate supper? My, you are a hungry monkey, aren’t you, Mace? Well, you’re gonna have to wait. It’s not ready yet. This ain’t Micky D’s, you know.
What’s a positron?
