FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
February 16, 2002 NEWS RELEASE Stanley for U.S. Senate
=========================================================== Stanley Challenges Ventura to Boxing Match (DENVER CO) Rick Stanley, U.S. Senate Candidate for the Libertarian Party, today made the following statement: I have challenged Governor Jesse Ventura to a 3-round boxing match. Proceeds from this proposed event would be split evenly between Governor Ventura's campaign for reelection in Minnesota and Rick Stanley's U.S. Senate campaign in Colorado. I have proposed a bet with Governor Ventura that, should Stanley win, Ventura will attempt to win the Libertarian Party's 2004 Presidential nomination. Should Ventura win, Stanley has volunteered to give $5,000 to the charity of Ventura's choice. Details, such as date, time, and place, will be worked out when Governor Ventura accepts the challenge. Governor Ventura has billed himself the "nation's toughest governor", i.e. "our governor can beat up your governor." Since Governor Owens refuses to stand up to the challenge made by Governor Ventura's camp, I believe Colorado must provide an acceptable alternative candidate. Since the U.S. Senate is listed on a higher line on the ballot, a U.S. Senate candidate is an acceptable combatant to defend Colorado's honor. I do want to point out that one of the Libertarian gubernatorial candidates, Ralph Schnelvar, has volunteered to challenge Governor Ventura to a chess match. My challenge was faxed to the governor of Minnesota on February 4, 2002. A copy of this media release will be e-mailed to Governor Ventura today, to remind the Governor that his self-proclaimed title of "Toughest Governor" has been challenged by a U.S. Senate candidate, and an enthusiastic response should be made promptly. So far, no response. I respect Governor Ventura immensely. He has shown third parties that the two-party death grip the Republicans and Democrats have on American politics can and will be broken, if the citizens will just stand up to big government. So, Governor Ventura, I will pay your airfare; put you up in the Brown Palace, which is a fine Colorado hotel; pay for a spectacular dinner, providing a wonderful opportunity for you to express your views; and coincidentally provide my campaign with a needed fundraiser. What do you say?" ##30## =========================================================== Rick is available for media interviews regarding his court case, this arrest, and his grassroots campaign for U.S. Senate.
