There Are Fifteen Humans, and One Dog, Running for Mayor of Oakland.

[kpete]

Hello,

My name is Einstein and I am running for mayor of Oakland, California.

I like to run. A lot! I mean A LOT! So make no mistake, I can make it all the way to the finish line, and I invite you to join me!

What gets under my collar is Oakland City officials not doing their job, and police not being prosecuted for beating and killing innocent beautiful creatures like Alan Blueford & Gloria, for example.

I have dogannally also been victim of Oakland Police brutality. While participating in peaceful rallies and marches, along with humans, I have been tear gassed, and had a flashbang grenade explode just a few paw-strides away from me. As a consequence I have been diagnosed with canine post-traumatic stress disorder, you can't even SAY the words 'Jean Quan' around me without causing me to freak out and start barking up trees trying to find the scoundrel.

That's why as mayor I will make sure the Oakland shelter is a place where animals can expect kindness, care, and placement in a loving home rather than a canine Auschwitz-Barkenau or Dogchau.

7. I think Merlin should run

my Oakland friend has a Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix service dog named Merlin. Everybody loves Merlin. (His human wouldn't be too bad, either. )

9. My money is on the dog.

The humans haven't been doing too well lately.

Cute doggie!
