SAN MATEO, Calif. - May 21, 2015 - PRLog -- YESSIRREE VOTERS AND JOURNALISTS...IT'S ALREADY CAMPAIGN SEASON EVEN THOUGH THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IS FAR, FAR AWAY...

...BUT...THE CAMPAIGN RHETORIC IS ALREADY HEATING UP, AND SOON...VERY SOON...ALMOST EVERYONE IS GOING TO NEED SOME RELIEF FROM THE BARRAGE OF ALL THE POLITICAL DOUBLESPEAK...

...So, how can the public vent their frustrations over things like:

1) Candidates talking about Income Inequality at $100,000 a plate fundraising dinners

2) Political campaigns and all that negative political advertising and name calling, and...

3) Things like trade deals that could actually wind up hurting the outlook for jobs and the economy?

As more and more candidates start throwing their hats in the ring for the Presidential campaign, and as the campaign rhetoric heats up on issues like income inequality and the economy...the public (and journalists), are going to need a lot of relief from all the political rhetoric and double talk, and all the name calling and all the negative advertising that will soon be hitting the airwaves for the Presidential Primaries as well as the races for state and local offices and ballot propositions.

Along the lines of some comic relief from all this campaigning, you and your audience might enjoy listening to some satirical songs about money and politics.

The songs are called "Big Bucks" and "Run For Office." The songs were co-written by Robert Barrows, an advertising executive in San Mateo, California, and a musician named Gary Warren, in Sacramento, California.

Here is some information about these two songs:

1) "RUN FOR OFFICE"

'"Run For Office' is a satire about power, politics, sex, lies, money and greed...all the stuff that politics is made of," says Barrows." "The people will love this song, politicians will hate it."

Some of the lyrics in "Run For Office" go like this:

"Which race is open? I'm ready to go.

Toss in my hat and here comes the dough. Let it flow!"

Some of the other lyrics are:

"Get elected. Get respected.

You even get yourself protected."

I'm gonna run for office."

You can hear a free clip of Run For Office at www.barrows.com/music.html and there is also a link on that page where you can download the song for 99 cents on iTunes.

Barrows also ran for office. He ran for Congress in the Democratic Primaries in the 12th Congressional District in California in 2006 and 2008. He lost both times. "Run For Office" got some interesting mentions in some of the press coverage of his campaigns.

2) "BIG BUCKS"

"Big Bucks" is a song about the hopes of pulling down big money. Some of the lyrics to Big Bucks go like this:

"It don't take brains. It don't take brawn.

I only hope it don't take too long."

..."Whenever you hear a millionaire politician talking about their plans to address income inequality, after they've just appeared at a $100,000 a plate fundraising dinner, at least you can vent some of your frustrations with a song about money called 'Big Bucks,'" says Barrows.

You can hear a free clip of Big Bucks at www.barrows.com/music.html and there is also a link on that page where you can download the song for 99 cents on iTunes.

3) WHEN YOU DO ANY STORIES ABOUT THE ECONOMY...and when you do any stories about the state of manufacturing in America, and the state of manufacturing in the area in which you live...on a serious note...Barrows also wrote a poem called "It used to be Made in America."

"'It used to be Made in America" is a poem about the loss of jobs and the consequences of the outsourcing of manufacturing to other countries," says Barrows.

You can see the poem online at www.itusedtobemadeinamerica.com and also at www.madeinusa.us.com.

Barrows hopes to be able to develop the poem into some country and hip-hop songs and some television and documentary film type projects that could help bring more attention to the need to start making more of our manufacturing and purchasing decisions to offer more goods that would be made in America.

He also hopes to be able to develop the website into a series of moneymaking directories about manufacturing, jobs, products, requests for proposals and sources of funding for projects that would be made in America. The directories would be on the www.madeinusa.us.com website. (At the moment, both websites are identical. He is hoping to find some commercial or governmental interest to help develop these projects.)

(NOTE TO EDITORS: Media companies might also be interested in developing these kinds of directories because they could generate very substantial revenues on an ongoing basis, and they could also give media companies access to hundreds of thousands of potential advertisers. Plus, media companies could easily promote these directories with ads in their own media. If your company would be interested in taking a look at a proposal about these kinds of directories, please contact Robert Barrows at 650-344-4405.)

NOW...BACK TO POLITICS AS USUAL...

"As the political campaigns heat up, and as news events and political controversies come into play, one thing you will see is that the themes in the songs "Big Bucks" and "Run For Office" are essentially timeless and universal, says Barrows, so you can write about them almost any time."

"The themes in 'It used to be Made in America' have been developing over the last few decades, says Barrows, and they are very timely now because the state of manufacturing in America might be further endangered by some of the inadvertent results of some of the current trade agreements that are being discussed like "fast-track" and the Asia Pacific pact."
