D.C. Douglas Mounts Draft Sarah Palin Campaign
Actor D.C. Douglas has produced and released an online music video today entitled "A Sarah Palin/Michele Bachman Ticket" in an effort to galvanize the Tea Party and ultra-conservative Republican base. The music video features imagery of America's Founding Fathers against a political anthem for the GOP primary race and an ultimate Sarah Palin/Michele Bachmann ticket.
Los Angeles based character actor D.C. Douglas is known for his earnest internet video productions. His controversial, but heartfelt "Tea Party PSA" was released in May of 2010 and garnered over 300,000 hits within a few days. It went on to be featured on several conservative blogs as well The Huffington Post and HLN's Joy Behar Show. His "Burn A Quran Day" spec commercial for Reverends Terry Jones and Fred Phelps had a similar impressive debut.
Mr. Douglas, in a post on his Hollywood blog, explains that he felt compelled to act after MSNBC and CNN dismissed the prospect of a Sarah Palin run for the Republican nomination in 2012. "It astonishes me that people like Lawrence O'Donell and Anderson Cooper cannot see the benefit of her running..." Mr. Douglas said in a later interview, "After all that America has been through recently -- the recession, Wall Street, God's natural disaster punishments -- we truly need Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann in the race. Laughter is the best medicine, and their candidacy would be such a healing experience for our country."
According to his blog post, he hopes the video will be picked up by Fox News and other conservative outlets so that as many republicans and Tea Party members will see it and be inspired to draft Sarah Palin into the 2012 race, with the ultimate goal of her winning the nomination and choosing Michele Bachmann as her running mate.
"You may say that I'm a dreamer," Mr. Douglas concluded, "but I'm not the only one."
The "Draft Sarah Palin" music video can be seen on The D.C. Douglas Blog. Mr. Douglas' film and television work can be seen on his official film & tv website.
Mr. Douglas is represented by David Secor at the Daniel Hoff Agency in Los Angeles.
