Now that the inauguration is over, are all you political junkies suffering from withdrawal? We have the answer on how to fill this bleak political landscape. We are working on a campaign to elect a "Mayor of Gnawbone". The candidates are not the boring human kind, but of the four footed variety. The first to step her paw into the puddle is Ginger Spice of Jackson Twp.

She and her campaign manager Annie Bannanie, have formed a new political party, Dogs Rule Over Our Land! (DROOL) and invite all other interested companion animals to enter the race. They very much admire the former Illinois governor, and have put a 'Pay to Play" policy whereby 15 animals can enter the race with an entry fee to cover campaign costs. Voters can cast as many votes as they wish at one dollar each.

Ginger and Annie have no use for money, so all of it will go to the Shelter. Word has it that another party is forming, organized by a couple of cats at the shelter. It is call "Pets Organize Over People" (POOP) and those who wish to enter the race can choose which party they wish to represent. The kickoff for the campaign would start with a march of the candidates at the spring blossom parade and a political rally would kick off the annual Dog Walk. Events would be scheduled throughout the summer and candidates would have to be available. The election will be held in the fall. The Brown County Democrat has agreed to run a number of stories and campaign ads to support this. You never know, but political scandal could take place...the fur is likely to fly...and the "letters to the editor" will once again be fun to read. MOVE OVER CARD...DROOL IS HERE! If you would like to become involved in this very fun fund-raiser, organizers are needed NOW.
