  Are you looking for a way to teach your 

 children about the political system during

 this 2008 Presidential election year? This

 hilarious show  

 tells the story of 12-year old Judson Moon,

 who with the help and persuasion of his

 best friend, elects to run for President after

 deciding that he could do a better job. What starts out as a local interest story, soon catches the attention of the national media, and even forces Congress to lower the age requirement for a presidential candidate. This unforgettable show will include a televised debate between Senator McCain, Senator Obama and Judson Moon. This will be an election to remember!
