District Chair read the DMR story.

Cut

In a letter dated July 4, the candidate, Randi Shannon of Coralville, argued that the legitimate federal government of the United States was replaced by illegitimate “corporate” government in 1871 and has been operating since then in violation of the U.S. Constitution.

She learned this fact just recently, she said, and has come to believe it after months of research.

Dropping her bid for state office was a rejection of that illegitimate government. Now, she said she has been appointed to serve as a U.S. senator in the recently revived and constitutionally legitimate Republic of the United States of America. She was placed in the office, she said, by Iowa’s four U.S. House members in the “Republic” government.

End cut

The GOP sure can pick some good ones.

Here is the link to her letter.

Branstad wanted to do that once. I think he seceded long ago.
ETA - are there any other openings? Maybe I'll declare myself governor.
