Back to sound systems. When addressing prospective voters in a live appearance you have to be loud,
even with a good sound system. In most cases if not all cases, live political rallies are fueled by
volume, not content. Sure, you have to say good things but in the great classes you get here at the
institute you will learn those good things but let me tell you if you don't say good things loud you
won't rattle the eardrums and that is important because sound can make nerves rumble and that is
really what gets people to support you.

But all the people in the world supporting you won't get you dribble in a spoon if they don't give
you money. With money you can move around and have a chauffer and pretty good hotel rooms, the kind
that charge way too much for water in a room refrigerator, you know? Money is the key to all
elections and you have to get it from the rich and the poor. It's great to have one or two guys that
give you a couple hundred thousand but you also have to have a couple hundred thousand that give you
a sawbuck.

After all, you need a lot of votes to win any election. In fact, in all elections except
Presidential elections, you need the most votes to win an election. Even if you win by only one
vote, that is a majority. One vote, by the way, doesn't equal one point. Wait, I may be wrong on
that, you have to take the course on points and percentages, taught by Professor Renaldo Squid.

So I hope you realize the essentials of running for office now and thank you for letting me address
all of you or at least the ones who could hear well enough. Don't you guys forget to fill in the
others on what they missed. Goodnight and lots of luck.
