In POLITICS!!!
A Political Action Committee (PAC) launched this week to support bearded candidates, according to paperwork filed Wednesday with the Federal Election Commission (FEC).
The Bearded Entrepreneurs for the Advancement of a Responsible Democracy (BEARD) was founded by 30-year-old Jonathan Sessions, who sits on the Columbia, Mo., Board of Education, according to his website.
“With the resurgence of beards in popular culture and among today’s younger generation, we believe the time is now to bring facial hair back into politics,” Sessions said in a statement.
“We haven’t had a bearded major party candidate run for president since Charles Evans Hughes ran and lost in 1916, and there has been a recent wave of retirements amongst bearded Congressmen, including David Obey and Steve LaTourette. Our hope is that we can start to reverse this disturbing trend.”
The BEARD PAC will support candidates from across the political spectrum as long as they have sufficient facial hair.
I also support their non-partisan approach! We need more beards in public office!!! Hell the last bearded President was Benjamen Harrison! Man that was in the 1890s! Time for that to end!

I blame this on giving women the vote.
Nah, Ladies like the beards! “Progressives” who have trouble growing them, or Authoritarians who are follicley challenged do too!
