Electoral Auction

To:
Stephen Harper, Conservative Party of Canada
Stéphane Dion, Liberal Party of Canada
Jack Layton, New Democratic Party of Canada
Gilles Duceppe, Bloc Québecois
Elizabeth May, Green Party of Canada
[Insert your name here], ________ Party of Canada


I would like to take this opportunity to open up my vote to all Parties running candidates in the riding of “Laurier – Ste-Marie”, in the upcoming 40th General Election of Canada on October 14th 2008.

Seeing as you all seem to think that Canadian voters can be bought, I may as well feed your delusion. (and make a few bucjs at the same time) To that end, I am now currently accepting bids and will give my vote to the party that bids the highest on the auction.

Bidding opens at $21136.06 *

All bids accepted.
No reasonable offer refused.

Bid now.
Bid often.

Auction closes at Midnight on Monday October 13th 2008.

Thanking you in advance,

Shawn

PS: the winning bid should submit payment by Money Order made payable to CASH.

* Calculated from the recent Ford Canada bailout by Stephen Harper, the Conservative Party of Canada and their minority Government. 80 million divided over five years and then divided again by 757 (the number of employees at the plant in question). By my calculation this is as good a starting bid as any.

My vote os for sale also...

Starting Bid: $100.00. They all make me ill, full of empty promises. I am thinking of voting for the doped out party next election --- because really how much more can a dopehead screw us up?

Where's the Rhinoceros Party when we need it?

And what about Natural Law? Are they all too busy yogic flying to get involved this time around?

C'mon, people, we gotta lighten up!

Marijuana Party of Canada... I am willing to accept 'alternate payment forms' should you be wondering...

I did a little ranting on my blog today, too. This election is so embarassing. Elizabeth May is the only candidate left with a shred of dignity

It's so incredibly sad. A more flip-floppy, wishy-washy, decietful, pack of liars I've never seen!

Ok...Ok...Like on the Price Is Right I bid one dollar! In alternative currency I bid one joint...that's like five dollars here in the South.
