My name is Stacey. There is a fan blowing in my face. I am listening to Led Zeppelin. I just consumed a clementine. This is the Thursday of my fourth week as an intern for a certain presidential candidate.

I work hard every day, just like the other interns. We all have our respective big fat important projects, but we also do a lot of other things around the office. We come in to the office at nine in the morning, and often don't leave until nine at night.. or later. The days fly by. The work we do is rewarding, though. Promise.

We've got discouraging messages coming from all around-- particularly the big fat media bias we've got working against us here. We read political magazines and websites, flipping and clicking around only to find little to no mention of our Dennis, even when he does newsworthy things all the dang time. We crowd around the television here in the office hoping to see some mad-hot debate action, only to see that he is given very little time to speak. Case in point: I was personally bored out of my mind during the recent Iowa debate. Why do some candidates get to speak so much more than others? Why only call on specific candidates to answer relevant questions? Why call on all of the candidates to answer irrelevant questions?"

That debate was nearly pointless. I don't know about you (collective 'you') or anyone else, but I want to know about each candidate's stance on important issues-- not on each other, not on whether prayer can prevent hurricanes. That aside, the news coverage afterward was appalling. Pictures of the candidates up on the ABC News website included everyone except Dennis. ABC News' articles summing up the debates barely mentioned that Dennis was even there. Dennis won the official "who did the best at the debate?" poll by an impressive margin, and ABC News has made zero mention of this as of now.

Much of the media seems to hate Dennis. It's funny, They just might want people to think he's a jester. That he's just too extreme to be taken seriously. They definitely want people to think that he "has no chance to win". That's been working for them thus far, considering how often we're heard it ourselves-- people even call up the office to tell us that Dennis should just drop out of the race.

I kinda don't blame those big corporations (and Other Bad Guys) for being terrified of what Dennis could do as president. He's their worst nightmare. He's the worst nightmare of a lot of people who have terrible intentions, so it would be convenient if they could make him look bad in whatever way they can. Since he's not a guy you can really dig up a lot of dirt about, though (unlike the other candidates), they just do whatever they can to shut him up. The American people are falling straight into the media's trap, it would seem.

It's so clearly messed up, all of this. It's so obvious. It's really terrible, because this is so important and yet so many people don't see it, which really makes me wanna get out there and do something. So, that's why I'm here. Every time I get to hear him speak on television, I think, "that's why I'm here." Every time I read about our government doing something ridiculously corrupt, I think, "that's why I'm here." When they ignore us, when they criticise us, when they laugh in our faces, it only fuels the fire. We're all directing our frustrated energy towards starting a revolution up in this little Cleveland office, and ...well, since it's Kucinich, maybe it won't be televised. That won't be our problem, however.
