More about Christopher Walken...

From: http://scrutinyhooligans.blogspot.com :

I don't know about you, but I'm voting for this guy in 08'!

Here to answer some of your most common questions is the manager of the Walken 2008 campaign, Mike Hansee.

What is Mr. Walken's party affiliation?

Mr. Walken believes that voters should vote based on the candidates' platforms, not their party affiliation. At this early stage, we are not affiliated with any political party, nor do we plan to be. Our platform is our message, and that's what we're running on. Down the road, if an established party chooses to back Mr. Walken, he may accept.

When can I learn more about the platform?

Please understand that the platform is being written by Mr. Walken himself, and will take some time. It is nearing completion, and addresses all of the issues you've been asking about: the war, immigration, abortion, gun control, education, the works. We hope to have a full release for you by the end of the week.

Where is the campaign based?

Because we're on a low-key grass-roots campaign right now, we are based out of small offices in New York, Alabama, Florida, California, Washington, and Colorado. Each micro-campaign, run by a handful of volunteers, is working on spreading the word locally as well as handling their share of your emails, phone calls, and letters.

What is the real URL?

Our offical website is at http://www.walken2008.com. We were initally running on walkenforpres.com while Richard (our web manager down in Florida) was getting walken2008.com set up, but we've fully migrated now and are happily running on our permanent home.

Why are there banners on your site?

The law limits the amount of personal money a candidate can spend on his own campaign. Considering the long and expensive road ahead, we should be careful with how we budget. So when Overcity Productions offered to sponsor our site, we agreed. And with the overwhelming response we've received from supporters visiting us and spreading the link to friends and family, I'm sure you all appreciate the high-speed hosting that's been made available.

Why aren't you announcing to CNN or the major media?

The risk of running early is that the support can boom too fast and die out by the time we hit the primaries. Our goal right now is spreading the word and getting people interested. The major media are bloodhounds, and once they get wind, Mr. Walken will be forced to start actively campaigning to balance an inevitable onslaught of criticism from opponents. For the time being, while Mr. Walken is finishing some film projects and we're establishing our campaign, we'll stick to word-of-mouth communication. Believe me, it works very well.

Where can I get 'Walken 2008' T-shirts, bumper stickers, etc.?

At this stage in the game, we unfortunately have nothing to offer. We are developing a full line of Walken-supporter gear to be made freely available next year. In the meantime, many of our supporters have come up with ways to make their own.
