Power to the Puppies!
Thursday, June 2, 2011 at 06:51PM I don't want to get too much into politics on my blog, but there are some issues I feel strongly about.
I have thought for a while that it's very mean that puppies don't have any representation in politics. Did you know that there isn't a single puppy who holds political office at any level of government?!? In fact, puppies don't even have the right to vote.

As I looked into the matter, I found that the law says that anyone who votes must be at least 18 human years old. That is very unfair. I think they should let puppies vote once they're 18 dog years old.
Even worse, puppies can't even lobby their representatives. I tried to go to the State Capitol in Austin once, and the security guard chased me away. He said that puppies are not allowed in the Capitol Building!!!
I waited outside for my Representative. When I saw him, I greeted him very politely. The Representative was friendly but quite dismissive. He patted my head, called me a cute puppy, and then didn't stick around to hear my complaints. Grrrr....
Anyhow, over the past few days, I've become much more hopeful. I've heard a lot of talk that the Federal Government now has a Representative Weiner! I assume that the Representative Weiner is like the Representative from Washington DC and is not allowed to vote. Still, it's a small step forward to have a Representative Weiner to give Doxies one small voice in politics!
