Oh, don't forget to include an mp3 of yourself saying "I'm Dan James, and I approve this message" on any campgain-related posts.

Brad Sucks, because of your good music and witty charm you most certainly deserve some money out of the public purse. You can have the distinction of being the official musician of this adminstration. We will need catchy jingles and a heart wrenching ballad for the climax of our documentary (if one is ever so filmed). I'll also pay you for a CD.

Rob, I will be releasing my position and policies later this week. Here's a sneek peak. Spam: It sucks but is the downside of an open system. I plan to put a tax on AOL users to help feed the RSS. William Hung should be brought back solely because of his name (I don't watch American Idol). I can also neither confirm nor deny your rumor.

It should be noted that two of the errors are unclosed image tags on the menu. Since the images in question are President James' presidential campaign button and the new "Get Firefox" button, the blunders must have been committed recently -- in fact, during his term in office!

Without further ado, I motion that President Dan James be impeached, and, if evidence warrants, removed from office, unless this page (or at least everything above line 65) validates within a short period from the time I post this comment.

Cheers!

Randy Walker (a recently nominated candidate) has a standards-compliant page in XHTML 1.1. As impressive as that may be, he's accomplished that using someone else's template for Wordpress, so I can't endorse him as a candidate either. He gets props for good behavior, though.

At any rate, my comments above were quite tongue-in-cheek (I hope everyone realized that). Good luck, Dan.

I came across your site when i ran a search on my own name on Google. Yup, funnily enough i have the same name. So it was very enjoyable for me to see my name on a cool little campaign button lol.

I guess that would make me Vice president by default lol. That's all i wanted to say as i enjoyed seeing that.

Good luck with being the president.

You got my vote.

Dan.

It would appear that your rightful claim to this office is in question! A search for "President of the Internet" (sans the quotes) does, indeed, support your position.

However, "President +of +the Internet" in fact shows Mr. Pineau to hold this distinguished seat.

What do you have to say for yourself?

I challenge your presidency, I've climbed to the top 100 in 2 weeks, gimmie a couple months and I should have you beat out.

Har! :P

"Dan James is the President of the Internet. Period. All other people are imposters and frauds and should be killed for imitating him."

"I'm Dan James, and I approve this message."

PS: Jesus saves.

I don't support linkwhoring. Or do I?

Damn corruption.

Hulk says vote for him.

It was not a real big surprise to see this page show up on the net with a search. The surprise is the maturity of this idea or rather the immaturity of it.

I am going to be brief with this reply because I feel that my time will be better suited with developing this idea on my web page.

The following should suffice to explain enough for now and here:

Peter Thiel,
I have an idea. Please hear me out.
I am going to change this web page [linked to my web page] to read â??Vote for Truthâ? and possibly: â??Elect the next president of the Internetâ?.
Can you see the potential for removing the dominance of oppressive government influence?
In the opening page the idea is to explain to the average citizen living on the network that power is now possible in combining like minded people who abhor aggressive oppressive violent governments. That means to gain that power is not violence. The means to gain that power is communication.
I see no reason to cash in on this idea myself; however I do see the vital importance of pushing this steam roller along in its infant stages.
Example:
Dear citizens of the internet,
It is my true and honest wish to overthrow every form of violent oppressive government on the planet and help move the human race to a less destructive and more productive enterprise. This is now a real and present possibility because we â??the peopleâ?? have the means to accomplish this task peacefully. That means is communication. Our weapon for peace and prosperity is the internet. The new â??orderâ?? is already in place and working on a large scale and I feel no need to get in a big hurry to ruin it with this bid for â??Internet Presidentâ??; however there will be efforts made by other people whoâ??s objective is not peace and so this â??start upâ?? is meant as a warning.
We need to be very careful â?“ always. There is much hope because it is our fortune to finally have the tools to combat falsehood and violence.
Please first consider the meaning of the words covert and overt. Now apply this concept to the present forms of government. If the idea is to know the truth concerning any typical governmental action is it possible to get a straight answer from a politician? Are most present forms of government overt or covert?
Imagine what form an overt government would take and it doesnâ??t require a genius to figure out that communication is necessary. Each and every citizen has a vote in an overt government and each and every citizen can communicate with each and every other citizen to ask, please, if their vote could be confirmed.
The first order of business for the new internet government is to elect a president and then direct his or her actions. If elected my first proposal is to generate funds for and implement a â??stupidâ?? network. The idea is to make the power of the new internet government smaller and the end points or the internet citizenâ??s power greater.
A vote for this idea must include a monetary token sent to an encrypted account. This idea must include a means by which your vote can remain anonymous if you so desire and if your desire is such then your vote can also be published on the account including your contact number. Once the votes and monetary investment reaches a critical mass then this capital will be directed toward further construction of the â??stupidâ?? network.
Why is the â??stupidâ?? network a good idea?
Consider please that the current freedom found on the internet is precious and powerful as this liberty empowers many at the loss of the power held by a few. The internet is a means to empower the many only as it remains free. Imagine the consequences of a hostile take-over where a few individuals manage to monopolize internet access and required from everyone else a fee and license and perhaps exclusion.
A vote for the â??stupidâ?? internet is a vote to keep the internet free from oppressive coercive government forces. These votes must include a monetary token of support. Economies of scale are such that a miniscule monetary token of 1 penny for each vote will amount to a whole lot of capital investment if the idea is good, true, and worth investment.
The idea is to keep the internet free, to bring access to many, and to increase the internets efficiency by making it â??stupidâ?? and therefore honest.
Thanks for your time. If you can possibly offer some feedback please donâ??t hesitate.
Joe
P.S. This looks good enough to print.

Have fun.

Mr. President:

I have two proposals.

A. Offensive

1. Create a global mutual bank

B. Defensive

1. Back up the net
I will begin work on investigating these possibilities and write up what information I have gathered so far and post recommendations on my web page. Please consider reading up on Mutual Banking as described by W.B. Greene
http://tmh.floonet.net/tmhframe.html
or
http://www.the-portal.org/mutual_banking.htm

Have fun!

I'll try one more time.

No big deal; Mr. President

The supply of information or knowledge concerning the precarious nature of human existence exceeds the demand by a margin that equates to the present level of prosperity. In other words; when the s**t hits the fan the demand for knowledge increases in direct proportion to the level of misery and then the margin moves. We want to know how to crawl out of our holes and this knowledge becomes precious. Meanwhile, as prosperity is maintained, our cares are liberated. We are not concerned with much more than the pursuit of happiness.

Isnâ??t life wonderful?

Apparently not for some and it may be valuable in the future to have a source of information and a means to protect the ability to pursue happiness should, just in case, the current level of prosperity be covered in doo doo.

Ignorance is our luxury now. We can afford to be stupid about how and why our prosperity exists. We can rely upon those who claim credit for this current level of liberty. We cannot afford this same ignorance if those â??leadersâ?? fail. In fact we cannot be so careless as to assume that they tell the truth when so much evidence supports the opposite conclusion.

I submit to you, the honest people of our planet, that it is you alone who create and maintain prosperity and that no one can ever take that ability away from you without your willing consent. You are far too numerous and powerful to be swayed by a simple confidence scheme. Yes it is simple; as easy to see as the nose on your face.

Trust in yourself and your fellow man in the ability and capacity to do good things is like kryptonite to those who rule us.

Build that trust and we will never, ever, fail again.

If we do fail and the large load of crap does, once again, emerge from the orifice of officialdom - it is our fortune to have the means to communicate knowledge quickly. Preserve this capacity and preserve liberty. Can you see?

Interweb = Freedom

Do you need a cabinet member somewhere? I promise not to abuse my power.
Perhaps I can be your representative at the UN?
I promise... no parking tickets in your name.

I know you are a very busy man running the internet, but I was wondering what your policy is on search engine directory submission service scams? I was ripped of US$30 by some corporate fat cats in Virginia(www.searchenginerankingservice.com) who promised the world and delivered nothing. You can hear the whole story at www.vacantmagazine.com/11103.htm or perhaps you could just have one of your aides read it.

I asked them for my money back but they just laughed in my face as if to say:

"You are but just one man, we are too powerful to stop..."

So then I though I would approach you, Mr President. I campaign for you, and I look to you for guidance. What should I do?

Vote for me for the REAL President of the Internet.
