How are you Joe the Plumber? Tell us in 30 seconds...

<snip>

It's simple ... make an ad telling us why you are "Joe the Plumber" in 30 seconds and your video could end up on the air as a TV ad. Share your story of living the American Dream, working hard, or owning a small business to tell America why you're standing with John McCain and Sarah Palin.

.................

How are You Joe the P? Script Synopsis.

Stock footage (wide screen) of fields of waving wheat, golden lit by the sun.

NARRATOR:

This is a land of opportunity [shot of hard hatted white guy driving home to his gigantic suburban sub-division, presumably after a hard day...]. A land of faith [reduced speed footage -- mother and daughter walking hand in hand into an 18th century style wooden church... make sure there's a white picket fence]. A land of freedom [voters in line at polling booths, ecstatic crowds at baseball games, F-22 Raptors breaking formation]

But Barack Obama's tax plan would take away your freedom by taking more of your hard earned dollars for his tax and spend liberal programs. [find an ugly Obama still...be sure to darken. words scroll on screen bottom as image drifts]

Senator Obama says that he wants to "spread the wealth around". What do you say?

[Fade to our 'Joe'. It's night. Joe's wearing a black rubber long coat and welder's goggles. He's standing in front of a neon lit warehouse with the number, "51" in giant red letters on one door]

JOE:

I started with nothing. Only a circuit board, some radium and a dream.

Under Obama's tax plan, my goal of building a race of irradiated super mice that explode with an approximate yield of .5 kilotons when in contact with targeted DNA would have to be trashed. Trashed! [shot of Joe slamming a fist into the palm of his hand] And all to help welfare moms buy Cadillacs and, maybe, eat from time to time.

Thanks but no thanks Senator Obama! Me and AlgerNoN [close up of downtrodden looking mouse...maybe glowing] say yes to McCain/Palin! Long live Emperor Angry and Lady Sauron! [maybe edit last statement out]
