my first suggestion for her campaign slogan was "i'll take kizzare of your kizzash" which she was not fond of. i then suggested she henceforth refer to money as "benjamins" which she did not like either. but when i suggested that she put her mug in the middle of green poster board with dollar signs in the corners and write "in emma we trust" i thought i'd struck gold for real. she was hesitant. in frustration i suggested "e. pluribus unum" and she left the room.
we decided on simplicity - line editing taught me that busyness detracts from the message. so, after running all around town at 9pm trying to find play money, i finally found some at CVS (after 4 other stops) and her sign now reads EMMA LEE 4 TREA$URER. The four is spelled out in fake coins, the poster is framed in fake bills, and her name is in tricked out florescent letters. sweet. she's very proud.
tomorrow we write her speech. look out.
