Or seeing your face on bumper stickers and T-shirts! If you ran for president, you would get to do these and other fun things, but you would also have to do a lot of hard work. You would study the nation's problems, tell the American people about your platform, select a running mate, and debate your opponents on live television. Finally, in November, Election Day would arrive. You would keep your fingers crossed and wait for the results—will you be the next president of the United States? A multicultural cast of children imagines what it would be like to run for president. The entertaining yet informative text is a good conversation starter for discussions on the election process.

Download or read book Born Whole written by Mr. G. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2008-10-16 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abolishment of an old mafia tradition, a person must be born 100% Sicilian or Italian to be a member of the mafia. The book is about two nearly identical bi-racial brothers, their father is a black American. One brother is an black-Sicilian, born and raised in Sicily by his Sicilian mother and a Mafiosi member. The other brother, Senator Joseph Cicero, is a black Italian-American, a son of an Italian-American woman. U.S. Senator Cicero became president on November 4, 2008 and was inaugurated on the 20th day of January, 2009. He was sworn in as the 44th president of the United States of America, becoming the first black Italian-American to assume the position in the White House. The New York agents and my Italian co-workers said that I wouldn’t live to see an black American elected to become a president in the United States and I, Mr. G., truly believed them. They rejected my book in the spring of 2005 because of having unusual characters, one, an black American president and two, a mafia member. I was told that the American people wouldn’t believe that my fictional story was true because there never was and there will never be a U.S. black American president. Italian members of the Italian and Sicilian Cosa Nostras Mafiosi, from the Bronx to Kenosha-Wisconsin said to me that my character, the Sicilian could not have been a member of the mafia because he has black blood following through his veins, he wasn’t born whole. My readers tell me that Joseph Cicero, my fictional black American-Italian character resembles President Barack Obama, the 44th president of the United States of America. I started writing this book, “Born Whole” in 1998 it was finished on January 2004. I am now 72 years old.
