At the next meeting, I bring up the possibility of running for president using the now vast network of the underground militia to make it possible. It's generally a popular idea, so I announce my candidacy and begin the campaign.

The militia is never seen with me in public and communication with them is kept to a strict minimum in order to avoid anyone catching wise of my affiliation with the group. They manage to round up amazing support for my campaign and silence all opposition who become too big a threat. I run on the platform of bringing common sense back to the capital and reversing all of the most recent stupid laws that have passed, namely those banning light-up tennis shoes, books that begin with the word "the", and a criminalization of toothpicks. I get an enormous amount of public support, as many people are tired of being double-crossed by elected officials who promise to create jobs but instead focus on ridiculous social issues that were never a problem to begin with (like light-up tennis shoes). In order to build the public's trust in my pledge, I sign a written contract, frame it, and take it with me to all rallies for all to witness. My idea works like a charm and I rapidly raise in the poll numbers.

On Election Day, I win by a landslide and immediately set about choosing the people who will support me in my presidency.

A. Appoint members of the underground militia: Go to "Underground Cabinet"

B. Appoint professionals agreeable to the militia: Go to "Organized Cabinet"

C. Appoint politicians who have been in those positions before: Go to "Backstabber"
