Can a little kid get elected to U.S. Congress? Yes. Announcing the availability of "Congress Kid", a new G-rated, family friendly/kids screenplay from experienced screenwriter, William Hodges.

A completed family friendly, G-rated kids comedy screenplay, Congress Kid, aimed at the highly successful North American and international family genre film market.

(PRWEB) September 1, 2004 -- With the help of a very plausible twist, the world of Washington D.C. politics opens up to a bright, precocious ten-year-old boy loaded with new ideas and ready for adventure. Congress Kid, the highly entertaining, kids comedy screenplay is educational, full of warmth, contains positive values, laughter, and fun for the entire family.

Created to both entertain and teach children about the legislative process, the story follows a boy's journey into the adult world of Congressional elections and the hallowed halls of Capitol Hill. With the help of a kind, meticulous campaign manager, the boy uses his wisdom and intelligence to overcome the dirty tricks of a determined opposition party's House Majority Leader, and prevails to successfully pass important legislation.

The story is tailored for a newly discovered child actor. And contains excellent supporting roles including a challenging adult male lead, anchor role.

Written for kids and their parents, the script Congress Kid contains G-Rated material which by various accounts tends to return higher annual average box office gross receipts than films containing restricted content.

"Most parents aren't prudes and wouldn't deny that there's an artistic place for profanity in cinema. They just don't want it in the movies they take their children to see. Hollywood's calculation, by contrast, is that the dirty language and sexual overtures are necessary for the PG-13 rating they believe essential to attracting teens. But as Rutgers and Yale Prof. Abraham Ravid found in a 1999 study, that may not be sound economic reasoning: The most reliable indicator of movie profitability, he and others have found, is a G rating."
