Sorry, I'll take Collin Peterson...
A long-shot challenger in western Minnesota’s congressional district made sure reporters knew his latest arrest brings to near 100 times that police have taken him into custody.Certifiable. Just. Certifiable.Erik Thompson, challenging long-time U.S. Rep. Collin Peterson in the Sept. 12 primary election, distributed a news release last week saying he was just arrested in Nye County, Nev., protesting nuclear weapons.
Thompson said he was protesting the danger of nuclear weapons, which he said exposes “a quarter million service men and women and untold hundreds of thousands of its own civilian citizens to nuclear fallout.”
He is running against the Iraq war and other American military actions, not Peterson.
“I want to give the citizens of this district the only chance they will ever have to vote against these wars,” he added.
