CORIOLANUS ANNOUNCES PLATFORM, ASKS FOR DONATIONS TO SUPPORT CAMPAIGN
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – July 10, 2008 – Roman consul candidate Coriolanus held a press conference yesterday to answer questions pertaining to his platform and raise money for his campaign.
The war hero spoke to 75 supporters at Estel Gallery in a live ”satellite feed” from Rome. He addressed questions on subjects ranging from his views on Social Security to his battlefield experiences.
“My support is only comprised of the most noble, most generous, most kind, most fair patrons,” said Coriolanus when asked about the support base for his campaign. “I depend on those with open hearts, open hands and open check books.”
Excitement was high at the event, despite Coriolanus’ patronizing and sarcastic demeanor.
“Though Coriolanus’ attitude can be a bit off-putting, I believe that the people of Nashville will see that he is the most qualified candidate for consul,” said Nancy VanReece, executive director of the Nashville Shakespeare Festival and Coriolanus’ campaign manager. “Unlike other candidates who don’t consider Tennessee an important state to campaign in, Coriolanus has seventeen appearances planned in Nashville from August 14 through September 7. He obviously values the citizens of Middle Tennessee.”

Nashville is blessed to be a city for the arts; Shakespeare in the Park is surely one of the greatest of these many blessings.
