This was my last event for Nobody as Campaign Manager. The tour went on to Boulder, Saint Louis, Madison, Ann Arbor, Amherst, Cambridge, Woodstock, Washington-D.C., Atlanta, Austin, Sante Fe, and ended at Sproul Plaza - University of California - Berkeley - on November 6, 1984.
There is one story I would like to share with you about the media and our 1976 arrival in Washington, D.C. They told us "if we wanted more or better coverage" _then_ "we would have to become more political". We decided Nobody was an AKA (also known as) for "None of the Above" and should be included on the ballot. We figured if a majority of people voted for 'None of the Above' rather than "voting for the lesser of two evils", it might force a situation where Americans would have to find someone competent to lead them. The media said, "Nobody could argue with that logic".
Finally, to reiterate, the Campaign was not an endorsement of mass apathy. It was a humorous approach to the elections designed to encourage people to register and vote. The tours would not have been possible without all the help, effort, and support from: Nobody's Helpers.
