Ford will be attending charity events, reading at children’s schools, ribbon-cutting ceremonies and volunteering at soup kitchens. Our campaign will run both positive ads and negative ads. Our theme throughout our ads is, “A positive change that is coming over America” and, “Peace”, which is something most Americans desire. We will civilly attack our opponent, Governor Carter, for his lukewarm support for the military, lack of experience, unsatisfactory approval rates, and his indecisiveness. Our attack ads focusing on the military will appeal to most conservative viewers who hold the military to be one of the most important parts of our society.

Ford is big on creating new jobs and was one of Ford’s biggest accomplishments when he was in the White House after Nixon. His employment policy was one of his strengths. He says that “since the recession was turned around, almost 4 million of our fellow Americans have found new jobs or got their old jobs back. This year more men and women have jobs than ever before in the history of the United States."

The swing states of Ohio, Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia, and Colorado are necessary to win in order to have a chance at the presidency. In order to gain votes from the voters of these battleground states, we are going on the road to several locations within these states and will focus on areas where there is a high percentage of undecided voters. We will use our campaign’s funding to travel to important cities and organize rallies and public appearances.

We are going to be traveling to these states soon, so check back in later for dates/times!
