Unless the Constitution has changed, Sweet Furry Kittens, F799 and Lord Hannah should not appear on the TRC ballot, as all are running uncontested races for a cabinet post. |

$2.5 Billion Texas Dollars! Now that I have your attention; Yes, I, DARTH KERMIT, am running yet again for the TEXAS REPRESENTATIVE COUNCIL. And I’m running on a platform of CHANGE! “Change what?” you ask. Beats me, but it worked for that other guy! As an incumbent member of the Representative Council (EIGHT terms now, and STILL no indictments), I pledge to continue providing the good citizens of Texas with the kind of bureaucracy and CHANGE that you’ve come to expect and cherish. As your duly elected, humble servant to the people, I will: Play an active and CHANGING role in the life of this Great Region! Support Big Tex and anything he wants to CHANGE! Enjoy all of the perks of political life (not CHANGING that)! So let’s get down to MONEY! Any Texas nation endorsing and promising to vote for me on this thread will be promptly wired $2,500,000,000.00 – yep, that’s $2.5 Billion Texas Dollars! Even I’ve never offered this much! Now that’s the kind of CHANGE you can believe in! Unfortunately, this is a limited offer. Unless the Banking Bailout sends me a few more billions, I can only afford to pay out to the first 7 or 8 takers! Skeptical? Why not try it? You get the money up front, before the election! VOTE FOR DARTH KERMIT!!! :darth2 Thank you, and God Bless Texas!

I don't know about the rest of you, but did you know that the bribes Kermit offers are ACTUALLY deposited in your Texas bank account? Unlike these false promises of liquer and change, the promise of cold hard Texas cash offered by Kermit is R-E-A-L, REAL!!! Therefore, since Kermit has fulfilled his bribe to me, in past elections, I will be voting for him, as well as for any other nation that offers true, no jike bribes for my vote. otherwise, those who are stupi. . .I mean honorable enough not to try and bribe me will also be recieving my vote. This message was not endorsed by Kermy or any other political candidate, it i the sole property of the F799 For State campaign fund. |
