Fibertarians Unite!

If you are dissatisfied with the candidates who remain standing (and sad about any who have dropped out) you might want to consider the newest voting block:


Dolores is raising the spindle in a pointed effort to weave a better world for all American fiber lovers-- and she's not talking bran flakes!
I quote:

Now, my campaign promises.Unlike the other candidates, I readily admit that I'm
in this for the bling. Free travel by private jet, a huge expense account,
my own office, and a posse of humpy bodyguards in suits and dark glasses?
Betcherass. So just tell me what you want, and I'll want that, too.Let's get
the ball of yarn rolling with a few suggestions collected by my press
secretary,
Harry.
  1. Elizabeth Zimmermann's birthday will be declared a national holiday.

  2. All fiber-related purchases will be fully tax-deductible.

  3. Knitting will become a mandatory subject in American public schools.

  4. Government subsidies for the establishment of independent yarn shops in high-need areas.

It's your country, kids. I just plan to run it

According to Dolores and Harry, their "base" is as follows. They may have underestimated the percentage of Uppity Women who will support them. What do you think?
