A Farewell Message from Feynman
My fellow Americans,
To those of you who supported me during this long campaign, I thank you. I particularly thank those of you who sent cookies. It was an honor and a privilege to work with each and every one of you, and I deeply appreciate your hard work and loyalty.
I am especially grateful to my running mate, Grady the Himalayan cat, who never appeared on this website because my campaign manager ran off to Portugal with a laborador retriever and half my war chest. And to think he would have been my chief of staff. —But that's another story.
Although we did not win a single electoral vote and failed in our bid to qualify for federal matching funds, we achieved some important milestones in this election.
The Slumber Party ticket received more votes than any other nonhuman candidates for President and Vice President in American history. This is a great step forward for higher mammals everywhere.
We were able to raise consciousness about the vital roles that Canine and Feline Americans play in the life of this nation and have played throughout its history. We spoke with people across America who already understood this important fact, people who were working hard to build no-kill animal shelters and war dog memorials and fighting to protect our wild brethren.
These and all of my experiences during this campaign have given me renewed hope for our nation's future. This campaign is over, but the Slumber Party and the great causes it espouses will go on. If so many citizens of this great land are crazy enough to vote for a dog for President, I dare say anything is possible.
When I announced my candidacy for President, I told you about the little town I was born in, a little town in eastern North Carolina called Spring Hope. As I stand here today, nearly twenty-two months later, I can tell you all, without hesitation, that I still believe in that place called Spring Hope.
Thank you, and God bless. God bless America.
Woof.
