US Senate hopeful in SC wants an action figure - Yahoo! News
Quote:
COLUMBIA, S.C. – Unconventional U.S. Senate hopeful Alvin Greene has an idea about how to get South Carolinians back to work: start selling action figures of himself.
Greene, himself an unemployed 32-year-old veteran, won a surprise victory in South Carolina's Democratic primary June 8. He said Wednesday the toy line idea shows he's thinking outside the box about ways to combat the one of the nation's worst jobless rates, which was 11 percent in May. ... Greene said the figurines would have him dressed in outfits ranging from military uniforms to a suit, to depict his military service and newfound political aspirations. Military records show Greene served in the Air National Guard from 1995 to 2002 before he was discharged with permission to enlist in another military branch. His records are blank until July 2006, when he re-enlisted in the Army National Guard. After a year, Greene joined the U.S. Army, and was discharged in August. As for his campaign idea, Greene says he was open to discussions with major toy companies but has not been approached by any. "If they contact me, I would be willing," Greene said. "I'm a true American hero, instead of somebody just fictitious."
