The Institute for Justice has a very sharp parody of incumbents’ tricks to retain office, entitled, Camp Politics: Training the Next Generation of Censors.
Here’s a description of the summer camp, where young people can learn how to stifle free expression, and retain power:
An Important Message From The Staff of Camp Politics:
Our mission is to train your son or daughter to win political office and then stay there – mainly by using campaign finance laws to suppress political speech that threatens their reelection.
But, unfortunately, many in the public have the absurd idea that free speech should receive the full protection of the First Amendment. One of the chief proponents of this view is the Institute for Justice. It just launched its “Citizen Speech Campaign,” which it calls “a multi-state effort to restore full protection to political speech about candidates and ballot issues.” If you truly care about your children’s future as successful incumbent politicians, please do not allow the Institute to dissuade you from sending them to Camp Politics.
