Bush for treason and war crimes. I was also the first candidate to attack Bush's pal Bill Gates as part of my campaign - and I did it in Bill Gates' backyard. <br><br> Now I'm running for the office of Mayor of Seattle, and I'm once again gunning for Bush and Gates. In addition, I may be the only candidate who's using my campaign to support Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, at least some of whose socialist policies I admire very much. (Holding corporations accountable is my kind of socialism!) <br><br> Unfortunately, I cannot afford to pay the filing fee this time around, and the filing date is just ten days away. Please visit my temporary campaign headquarters at www.rep5.org\/mayor\/ and consider supporting me. <br><br> I'm actually doing most of my initial campaigning outside Seattle, because, contrary to popular belief, Seattle doesn't have a political pulse. The city is ruled by apathy and corruption, and I'm hoping to inject a little energy by garnering some outside support. <br><br> Thank you. <br><br> David Blomstrom<\/p>\n","contact":"www.rep.5.org\/about\/contact\/","link":"www.rep5.org\/mayor\/","address":"","phone":"","parent_id":0,"mime_type":"text\/plain","summary":"I'm running a provocative political campaign that embraces local, national and international issues.","numcomment":0,"fileurl":"\/uploads\/","filesize":null,"article_url":"\/news\/2005\/07\/133196.php"},"attachments":[],"comments":[]}
