By way of Tennviews I learned that my congressman David Davis (R-TN 1st) is announcing he will seek re-election. I will be opposing Rep. Davis as a write-in candidate, officially announced in the comments at Tennviews. My announcement is reproduced here:

I announce here in this comment that I am opposing Rep. Davis in this election as a write-in candidate. I have a residence in the district and live there sometimes. I will stand for pro-choice, our right to be atheists, agnostics, Buddhists, Mormons, and even dare I say it, Scientologists. I'm a loner, a slacker, a midnight toker, I play my music in the sun. Please vote for me if you live in the 1st district. Thank you.

Update: I feel like Stephen Colbert. Write-in votes don't count unless a form is filed in each county in the district. Being a slacker, that's too much trouble. You can still vote for me to make a statement to the establishment however. I will be grooming myself and getting the forms in order for an official run in 2010.

Update: Been working on some campaign slogans...

Fletch - the anti-Davis

Vote for fletch, a successful entrepeneur in the global economy, however he needs a government job with benefits and a pension to have any hope of retirement. -- perhaps a little wordy.

Vote for fletch, or al-Qaeda will blow up Gatlinburg. -- fear mongering perhaps, but it worked for the Republicans in 2004.

Fletch. True American, True Heterosexual -- now I don't like this one really. It implies that Davis is gay, and there's nothing wrong with being gay. It's really gay bashing. It's just pandering to the constituency.

I like Ike -- I know, my name is not Ike, but neither was Dwight's and it worked for him.

Might add some more later. Feel free to contribute in the comments.
