I'll show you when I get in office! ### Here is some background and information on the poem and the song version of "Run For Office." I started writing the poem version of "Run For Office" in the early 1980s after watching an election season filled with very nasty political ads. Then, in 1998, I teamed up with a musician named Gary Warren, and we co-wrote a song version of "Run For Office." We released the song version of "Run For Office" in 1999 and it got some airplay on various radio stations that played rap and hip-hop.. I also ran for office. I ran for Congress in the Democratic Primaries in the 12th Congressional District in California in 2006 and in 2008. I lost both times. On another topic, if you do any stories about money and income inequality, you might also enjoy another song I co-wrote with Gary Warren called "Big Bucks." "Big Bucks" is a song about the hopes of pulling down big money. Some of the lyrics go like this: "It don't take brains, it don't take brawn. I only hope it don't take too long." You can hear a free clip of "Big Bucks" at www.barrows.com/ And...if you do any stories about tariffs, trade wars, protectionism, jobs, the economy and the state of manufacturing in America, you might also want to take a look at a poem I wrote called "It used to be made in America." You can see the poem online at: www.itusedtobemadeinamerica.com and also at www.madeinusa.us.com. For more information, please give me a call at 650-344-4405. Sincerely, Robert Barrows R.M.
