D'Artagnon Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Longtime TV, radio and movie star, gay activist, racial equality activist and all around funny guy, George Takei may have just taken his idealism and sharp wit where few gay men have gone before... Congress! http://the-daily.buzz/a/george-takei-has-bombshell-announcement-and-washington-is-reeling?utm_content=inf_10_1163_1&tse_id=INF_cfef57d0165511e798fc7bd31dd7c3e2 Ellio Lee 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellio Lee Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 I'd vote for George! In a year where, here in the UK and looking across the pond - the US too, we seem to be governed by the least of us I can't help but feel a little warm tug at my heart strings at Mr Takei putting himself out there. He's been a voice of reason, as a talking head on many political shows for a few years now and has proven to be a positive rolemodel in his activism. That he'd be challenging Nunes next year is surely him putting his sharp sense of humour to work too. D'Artagnon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Artagnon Posted April 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Sadly, this has turned out to be a April Fool's joke. There is a post of his showing him holding up a sign that reads "Gotcha!" But I wholly agree. If I was a legal voter in California, in the appropriate congressional district, I'd vote for him. As that case is, I'm a legal voter in Florida, some 2500 miles from there. Don't think that my support, although likely welcomed by Mr. Takei, would be valid. Can dream though.

Ellio Lee Posted April 1, 2017 Report Share Posted April 1, 2017 Gosh darn it. Every year i forget and every year I fall for at least one or two. Maybe between us - two people who couldn't vote for him anyway could twist his arm. D'Artagnon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
