A. Ficus...
Joyce Kilmer, Poet:
I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest against the
sweet earth's flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day, and lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in summer wear a nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain; who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree.

Martha Stewart, Ex-con Celebrity With Green Home Fashions Sense:
This kind of ficus, and other members of the ficus family, are actually among the most rewarding.

The Ficus plant gets my vote and no holds barred is the better candidate.

Finally, a qualified candidate! Yes! A real green candidate with no aspirations for higher office...no hypocritical veneer of liberalism to hide worship of Big Bucks. This is the real thing. We have a choice!

Jeremy Scahill, Democracy Now Producer:
The New Jersey Ficus could spark a new branch of government.

Michael Moore, former Ficus Campaign Manager:
Ficus Fever is sweeping the nation. In a country where the majority no longer vote, writing in Ficus will give the disenfranchised voter a chance to cast a vote for "None of the Above!"

Trey Anastasio, Musician (Phish):
Ficus dreams are the dreams for me. It cost me nothing. It was free.

William Blake, Poet:
The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a
green thing that stands in the way. Some see Nature all ridicule and
deformity, and some scarce see Nature at all. But to the eyes of the
man of imagination, Nature is Imagination itself.
(1799, The Letters.)

Bertoldt Brecht, Poet:
What kind of times are they, when
A talk about trees is almost a crime
Because it implies silence about so many horrors?
(To Those Born Later)

Galeain ip Altiem MacDunelmor:
They are beautiful in their peace, they are wise in their silence.
They will stand after we are dust. They teach us, and we tend them.
