Why should Mike Castaldo get the bump?

Michael Castaldo is one of the most interesting congressional candidates running for U.S. Representative this year. He would be a perfect interview for the Colbert Report. Stephen Colbert's on-air persona loves the armed services, food, the Republican party, and kingmaking. Mike is an ex-marine, a chef and a Republican candidate who would appreciate receiving the Colbert Bump.


Mike is also a strong advocate for people living in poverty. As a key activist for the ONE campaign, he presented the white ONE bracelet to many presidential candidates on the trail through New Hampshire. An appearance on The Colbert Report would give him the chance to flash that poverty-awareness accessory himself and bring issues like foreign aid reform, debt relief, and global health to a national audience.


How to Contact The Colbert Report

Here are three ways to contact Comedy Central and The Colbert Report:


1. U.S. Mail to The Colbert Report 513 W. 54th St., New York City, NY 10019


2. Phone the Colbert Report Studios at 212 586-2477

3. Email the Colbert Nation webmaster at colbertweb@gmail.com


Feel free to be creative in you have other ways to contact them to get Stephen's attention!


Sample message:


I believe New Hampshire Republican congressional candidate Michael Castaldo would make a great guest for The Colbert Report. Mike has a personal history that would give Stephen a lot to work with. He is an ex-marine, a chef, a very successful anti-poverty activist and a down-to-earth, good natured guy. He's very serious about his campaign, but has an sense of humor about himself as well. Please give Michael Castaldo the coveted Colbert Bump.
