An endorsement for brains, honesty and integrity


The movement to make Steve Berlin - who has agreed to make mental health a priority in his administration - as the nation's next vice president got a boost recently when popular singer-songwriter Tim Butler endorsed Berlin's candidacy.

Butler, speaking from his home in Glenside, Pa., said Berlin is a great choice for the nation's second-banana slot because of his brains, honesty and integrity, among other reasons.

"The people need their public servants to be selfless, and Steve Berlin is the most selfless person I know," Butler, said. "In fact, he's so selfless, sometimes you forget he's even there, and that's what we need in a vice president."

Butler has been performing in the Middle Atlantic states for years as a solo performer and previously with the band Hoppers 13. He expects to release another solo CD in 2008. His music can be found at www.myspace.com/timbutler and www.timbutlermusic.com.

Berlin welcomed the endorsement and looked to Butler's nod as evidence of the traction his campaign is generating.

"Tim is a great friend and when it comes to his endorsement, he knows what he's talking about," Berlin said. ""I just want to say that if you are a real, neo-, pseudo-, minor, or flash-in-the-pan celebrity, know a celebrity, or look like a celebrity, there is ample room under my tent for all of you. Your endorsement would mean a great deal to America getting the high-quality, honest and thoughtful vice-president it deserves. Plus I might be able to get you gigs."
