FRIEDMAN: 'LET THE REVOLUTION BEGIN'

Musician/writer KINKY FRIEDMAN has collected 169,574 voter signatures in a bid to be accepted as an independent candidate for US state Texas at November's (06) mid-term elections.

The MARILYN AND JOE hitmaker delivered 11 boxes containing the signatures to the secretary of state's office in Austin yesterday (11MAY06), and urged officials to quickly validate his candidacy to stand as a potential Texas governor.

Friedman says, "The people of Texas are sending a message to the politicians who have run our beloved state into the ground.

"The people have spoken loud and clear. It's time to take our state back from the Republicans and Democrats who've caused this train wreck. We're going to make Texas great again. We cannot be stopped."

Addressing the burgeoning crowd yesterday (11MAY06), Friedman yelled, "I'm humbled by your support, and I won't let you down. Let the revolution begin."

Mid-term elections decide new members of Congress, but not the country's president.
