Someday soon, this persona (Ranzo Rising) will used for my music. But for now I am an artist in support of Art Small in Iowa. Go here, download the song, support Art Small, and you can help Kerry win.
Art Small has posted his campaign, including the famous RV that has driven around Iowa in these past months, for sale on eBay.
Go bid now!
This from the Des Moines Register:
Small's voice tends to wobble a bit, and with his pronounced New England accent it makes for what they call must-listen radio. It goes:
"How you gonna get him back on the fahm, afta he's seen D.C.?
How you gonna keep the lobbyists away,
How you gonna let the people have their say?
How are we gonna chuck Chuck back to the fahm, afta he's seen Dee Ceeeeeeee?"
This is available on Small's Web site, www.artsmallforsenate.com. One warning, though. I couldn't get the thing to stop playing.
Small has no money and virtually no chance to knock off Grassley, the best-liked politician in Iowa who has a zillion dollars to spend on his fourth re-election.
At least Small is having fun in the last days of his campaign. Good for him.
Grassley's opponent, Art Small, had been offered up as a sacrificial lamb by the Democrats, who almost didn't even field a candidate.
The Des Moines Register, October 24, 2004
Bush is in a tight race with Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry in Iowa, one of a dwindling handful of battleground states.
Grassley said that he is vastly outspending Small to reintroduce himself to voters who might be new to Iowa or might not remember him - and also to boost Bush.
"Every time I go to an event, I speak of what the president needs to be re-elected," said Grassley.
If we lose Iowa to Bush, Grassley's unabashed use of his own campaign resources for this purpose will be a primary cause. Why hasn't anyone caught this?
Also, very anti-Grassley (R-IA). Charles Grassley is Senate Finance Chair and Bush's cheerleader, voting to back him 99% of the time.

You probably have no idea who Art Small is, but check him out; he needs support desperately to help build buzz. Everybody has written him off since day one, not for his politics but rather because his opponent is generally viewed as unbeatable. But since he's the Democratic challenger to Charles Grassley (pronounced "EEH-VIL") in Iowa, support of his campaign at this crucial time will go a long way toward tipping the state Blue in the presidential election.
Money, of course, is good--cause he has next to none. In fact, he doesn't even accept donations from special interest groups--never has during his extensive political career. Grassley, on the other hand, caters to special interests and faithfully cheerleads for Bush, at the expense of his constituents and the nation.
More importantly, tell people about Art Small. Spread the word. Among a sea of crooks (yes, Dems too), he is one of the few honest ones you can feel good about. He may not win against Grassley, but he can help Kerry win Iowa.
Please go now. Post something supportive on his blog. Post something on DailyKOS or elsewhere (I don't have rights yet). This word HAS to get out. And it's crazy enough that it might just work. More to come from me.
