Hall Concedes
2008 Bid to Gain
White House; Sets
Sites on 2012
(April 21, 2009)  Nearly two weeks
after the 2008 presidential election had
passed, hopeless Presidential hopeful
Donnie Hall conceded in his eleventh
hour bid to win the White House.  In
his concession, the Tennessee
resident, story-teller, and veteran
stated, "It looks like someone else
won.  However, friends, this is not an
end, rather, it is the beginning.  It is
the beginning of the long road to 2012."
Hall told his gathered supporter, "Over the next four years, we will endeavor to
keep America apprised of the issues.  Most of all, our efforts will be
concentrated on keeping Congress honest, which, ultimately, will be the toughest
task of all ."
In his combination concession and announcement made from a front porch in
Nashville, Tenn., Hall said, “My message remains the same:  I am not a
Republican and I am not a Democrat... I am an American.  I am America’s
candidate and I want to be your candidate in 2012.”
In a money-saving effort, Hall decided not to make new buttons and signs for the
2012 campaign.  His slogan for the next election will remain the same as it was
for 2008: HALL for Y'ALL.  
Taking a page from history, the admitted underdog is proposing to continue his
old-fashioned "front porch" campaign as he works to gain write-in ballots from
all 50 states.

DONNIE HALL:  
On The Issues & On The Record
Government Bailouts
  • "I'm just sayin', if you have to drug test airline pilots, ship captains, railroad
    engineers, and truck drivers, the ones driving the country should also be drug
    tested."

Government-Sponsored Health Care
  • Government is what's ailing the country.  And they think they can fix it?!"

The Deficit
  • "I don't usually like to say bad things about other people, but Congress in bad need
    of a basic accounting class."

Federal Gas Tax Moratorium
  • "If you think you really gotta have a tax on gas, I'd suggest taxing Mexican
    restaurants."

War in Iraq and Afghanistan
  • "War is an awfully harsh word.  I prefer forced equalization."

On Leaving Iraq
  • "I'll let you know after I get there."

Balancing Civil Liberties and Security
  • "Civil liberties are light and fluffy, like a pastry.  Security is much more substantial.  If
    placed on opposing ends of a see-saw, I'm pretty sure the security end would be
    the one on the ground."

Social Security
  • "I'd leave it in the hands of the government.  After all, they've been doing a pretty
    good job managing it so far, haven't they?"

Embryonic Stem Cell Research
  • "When I was a kid I love watching The Six Million Dollar Man.  'Steve Austin...
    Astronaut... A man barley alive.  We can rebuild him.  We can make him better,
    stronger, faster than he was before.  We can create the world's first embryonic
    man.'  Yeah!  Let's do it for real."

School Choice
  • "Driving School."

Gay and Lesbian Issues
  • "We all have issues, don't we?"

Trade Issues (free trade of fair trade)
  • "What's better, a fair price or a free price?  Daddy always said 'Ain't nothin' free in
    this world, boy!'  I never liked being called 'boy.'  I'll take free trade for a thousand,
    Alex."

Taxes and Government Services (help the people or anti-tax)
  • "The Lord helps those who help themselves.  The Government helps them that
    don't."

Business and Labor (pro-business or pro-labor)
  • "Who works for whom?  Does business exist for labor or does labor run the
    business?  It's a pretty good question, don't you think."

Abortion
  • "Keep you eye on McDonald's.  If they ever start to go under, Roe v. Wade isn't far
    behind."

Capital Punishment
  • "Should include Congressmen, too."

Marijuana Laws
  • "Marijuana laws are about as effective as a 55-mph speed limit on the interstate.  
    You wanna get somewhere?  Then enforce simple possession with the same
    ruthlessness and vigor as you do speeding in a school zone."

Gun Control
  • "I prefer the two-hand hold.  It's more balanced."

Minimum Wage
  • "Who died and left big government in charge of what someone makes?  First it was
    a minimum wage, now the Government is trying to control what some people get in
    bonus.  What's next?  The Average Wage?"

Health Care
  • "I'm for it, especially when I'm sick."

Prescription Drugs
  • "If I can get the bottle open, they tend to help a lot, especially when I'm sick."

Environmental Issues
  • "We need good laws mandating better environmental controls in this country.  I get
    reach touchy on a hot, summer day when the thermostat goes out and my air quits
    working."

Legal Immigration
  • "Albert Einstein, Ivana Trump, and Charlize Theron.  (Need I say more?)"

Illegal Immigration
  • "I'm just sayin', we need to look at the big picture a minute:  Who's gonna build your
    Congressman's house and keep it clean afterward if we deport all the illegals?"

Slavery Reparations
  • "I'm sorry."

Candidates political or professional qualifications ((national elected
representatives, elected executive, military leader, business owner or executive,
lawyer, journalist/broadcaster/author, professor/teacher/lecturer, doctor, comic)
  • "How 'bout common freakin' sense?"

Preferable Age of Candidate
  • "Since the Constitution says you gotta be at least 35-years old to be President, that
    sound like a pretty good place to start."

Preferable Marital Status of Candidate
  • "Single, of course.  No distractions.  But if not single, then married could be OK,
    too."

In the great campaign
traditions of James A. Garfield
(1880), William McKinley
(1896), and William G.
Harding (1920), Donnie Hall
will be conducting a Front
Porch Campaign in his bid for
the Presidency in 2012.  "In
short," a Hall spokesperson
says "he will not be travelling
around the nation stumping
and seeking photo ops.  
Instead, he will be letting
America come to him either at
his front porch or the front
porch of a person's home he
happens to be visiting."
THE FRONT PORCH CAMPAIGN
Hall tabs Ladd as
Running Mate in '12
(Nov. 15, 2008) - In a surprise move,
independent Presidential hopeful
Donnie Hall named long-time friend
Beth Ladd (vaguely pictured above) as
his running mate for the 2012 election.
"Why not," exclaimed Ladd, a high
school teacher from East Tennessee.  
"Donnie and I have been running
together since Carter was President."
Hall says the reason for picking Ladd
is because he leans right and she leans
left.  "Together," he says, "we're the
perfect match for balancing America."
