What do you offer that the other presidential candidates don't?

Well, could you address the other candidates as "dude"? But seriously,
I say what I mean.and I do what I say. I'm not a part of the system.and have
no interest being a part of it. I share the dreams of the people. And I'm
practical.know how get things done. I get results! The primary
function of the government should be the protection of the health, the civil and
human rights, the freedoms, and the general welfare of the people.instead of
the protection and the promotion of corporate profits and interests. The
government should exist to serve the people, and not to make a profit
on the services to the people. My administration will be governed by these
basic principles.

Tell us a little about your disability- in what ways has it shaped
your campaign?

Do you mean my lack of money? Actually that's one of my strengths.
Oh! You mean cerebral palsy! My first stroke of good luck was I was born
spastic, unable to walk or talk. Add to this good fortune the fact that my formative
years were in the sixties -- my fate was assured!

When I was born, doctors told my parents that I had no intelligence,
that I had no future, that I would be best put into an institution and be
forgotten. This was a powerful expectation with all the force of western
science and medicine as well as social influences, behind it. It would
have been easy for my parents to be swept up into this expectation. Then that
expectation would have created my reality. I would have long ago died
without any other possibilities. Instead, my parents rejected this
expectation for the possibility they saw in my eyes, for what for them
should have been true. This rejection of the cultural expectation of
reality could not be a one-time choice. They had to passionately live their
choice everyday, every minute, or the cultural expectation would have sucked
them and me into it. It fought them at every new possibility they opened to
me. Their passionate commitment to how they thought things should be
attracted people to me who kept opening new possibilities for me. Of course, these
were in the minority. But I focused on them, making them how people
should be, how I wanted to be. So I expected people and myself to be like
that. So people were for the most part that way...at least I saw them that way.
This opened up to me what is called luck. It also gave me the ability to
trust and the ability to use opportunities. This gave me the ability to adapt
situations to transform limitations into new possibilities. I also enjoy
struggling against injustices, censorship, etc.so I prevail!

What issues are important to you?

Well, short term, getting our troops out of Iraq A.S.A.P.within 6
months. But long term, get the corporate foot off our backs, restore our
rights and freedoms, and create a more sustainable, just, and humane society as we
enter the post-oil era. See http://www.frankmooreforpresident08.com for my
detailed plan.

You appear to be missing two front teeth...I am missing one of
mine-how did you lose yours?

Actually it is just one tooth. It was get a root canal or pull the
tooth. It seemed like a no-brainer to me. [We need a president who knows a
no-brainer when he/she is faced with one!] So the dentist pulled it for free! [Most
doctors, dentists, etc. do not take Medi-Cal.] Then I auctioned the
tooth off for $250! Dude, did I just win your vote.you fellow sexy gap
dude!? Btw, my campaign photo was taken before the tooth was pulled. So we had to
doctor the photo. Would the other candidates tell you that?

Where did your love for performance art come from? What kind of
performances do you do?

I became sucked into performance not to tell stories, not to paint
pictures for others to look at, not even to reveal something about myself or
about the state of things, and certainly not for fame or fortune. It was
simply the best way that I saw to create the intimate community which I as a
person needed and that I thought society needed as an alternative to the
personal isolation....

I am known for long [5-48 hours] ritualistic performances with audience
participation, improvisation, nudity, and eroticism. For this I was
targeted in the early 90s as an "obscene" artist by Sen. Jesse Helms and
other right-wingers. I had fun tangoing with them!

But I play all kinds of roles! I am or have been a friend, dad, lover,
relationships' counselor, business advisor, director, singer, dancer,
painter, critic, television talk show host, founder of the pioneer
internet station http://www.luver.com, night club manager, video maker, teacher,
producer, writer, publisher/editor, musician, composer, poet, etc..and
soon be president!

How will your success in performance art translate into success in
the political world?

I'm assuming you mean successful being president. I do not care about
being successful in the political world. My focus will be on bringing about
meaningful change. I work and live outside the box that limits what is
possible. I always find what works. I will do this in the White House!

Do you have any funny anecdotes?

I don't think this is what you are fishing for.but I have not met one
person who hasn't taken my candidacy seriously. This is funny. But it also
shows how hungry people are for what I represent. Imagine the world where
someone like me [or you] could be president. Keep imagining it and I'll be the
president.

What's the first thing you will do as President?

BRING THE TROOPS HOME!

What is the future of this country?

Hey, what do I look like, a fortune teller? But what we do in the next
10 years will be critical!

Stem cell research...cool or not so cool?

I don't believe in censoring research. But my policies will take big
profits out of the dynamic. There is a possibility for making life easier for
a lot of people. But I believe we need the "not normal."
