Please Make This DU Pledge
I (fill in your name) do solemnly swear that if I win the 225 million dollar powerball jackpot this weekend, I will devote most of the money to waging a crusade to take my country back.

I will help finance demonstrations, help provide transportation to rallies and other political events, help buy important advertising time on prime time television, support worthy websites, magazines and organizations that have demonstrated an avowed opposition to the thuggish and corrupt politics that runs rampant throughout our government.

I will support all political candidates who have signed on, and have demonstrated a will to put an end to practices that run counter to our constitution.


(If there is anything else any of you can think of, please add your two cents worth)

9. Set back enough so you can build a big ol' porch on your mansion
for when you have visitors!

Isn't that an imported rug on Trenchfoot's head?

12. Only 10 million?
Edited on Fri Feb-10-06 09:02 AM by yadayadayada
If your goal was to mess up helmet heads perfectly coiffured hair you'd need 20 million. What about Delay, Boehner, Frist etc etc? They have helmet hair too that needs to be messed up. In fact it's the helmet head party (except for Hastert, of course).

I would fund special clinics to help de-program the wingnuts who drank too much of the Kool Aid.

We don't need anymore psychos running the streets.

11. Sorry, but gambling is illegal in my state...a lottery has been voted
down 4 times in the 12 years I've lived here. It's a 'sin' according to the local pastors.
