A Hamster in Congress?

The Hamster For President campaign is delighted to announce that the 8th Congressional District in Maryland now has a hamster running in the general election. He is epected to overwhelmingly take the rodent vote, and is making a last minute appeal for human support. He has the backing of Potus, our presidential candidate in 2004, as well as the entire Hamster For President election committee and staff.

Little Opie - his full name is Opus VonHam - is running as the do-nothing candidate, taking full advantage of the putrid nature of human politics in general, as well as the gross deficiencies found in the Maryland congressional race. His web page links to that of his opponents - the incumbent Republican, Constantly Muggerella and the challenger on the Democratic side, Gritz Van Hogpen. Both, as their web pages suggest, are virulently anti-hamster.

Young Opie, who will be married to a daughter of Tennham and his wife Vladka, recently wed and without children yet, is also on the Hamster For President campaign committe, and will continue to serve even if elected. After all, his campaign promise is to take the oath of office and then have a snack and fall alseep. "Do nothing." That's what he promises for the duration of his two-year congressional term. As such, he will have plenty of free time to devote to Potus's cause.

The Hamster For Congress web page can be found at www.hamsterfor-congress.com. It does not contain as much information as the Potus for President site, but only because it is new. Hamster For President has been in existence since the 1996 presidential campaign, when the lumious Mister Ganja became the first hamster ever to run for president.

Stay tuned for announcements on this page about both the work of the Hamster For President team and the Hamster For Congress effort.
