HANK FOR SENATE

Time Traveling Cat Appears on Rare $2 Bill

Theoretical physicists have voiced concern over a possible tear in the time-space continuum since a rare U.S. $2 bill surfaced with the image of a cat accompanying Thomas Jefferson.

The cat in question? None other than Hank, a candidate for senate in the commonwealth of Virginia – Jefferson’s birthplace.

“The note was discontinued in 1966, and there certainly wasn’t a cat on it back then,” says currency historian Mark Hentz. “I’m not really sure what’s going on.”

But Dr. Nelson Kim, a physicist who studies time paradoxes at MIT, has two theories. “Either Hank traveled through time to affect the minting between 1869 and 1966, or he went even further back to befriend Jefferson himself, thus ensuring his inclusion in the portrait. Either way, that’s a lot of work for a campaign stunt.”

You can purchase one of these rare notes from Hank’s campaign website. At a mere $1.50, it’s a real steal. Proceeds benefit the Rzhevka Animal Shelter in St. Petersburg, Russia.

Senate-Seeking Cat Raises $6,000 for Animal Rescue Orgs

Hank, a cat from Springfield, VA, has run a vigorous campaign to get his name on the ballot for Senate this November. But he’s taken a break from his busy political schedule to raise money for charities close to his heart.

At a rally last week, Hank took photos with fans, held a raffle, and sold posters, T-shirts and cookies from the Sweet Ladies Bakery. 100% of the funds were donated to the Humane Society of Fairfax County.

According to a campaign press release, Hank has raised more than $6,000 for Virginia animal rescue organizations. You can visit his store for more Hank merch, where 100% of the proceeds go to the 4Paws Rescue Team.

Senate-Seeking Cat to Collect 10,000 Signatures for Virginia Ballot

Hank the Cat has faced some stiff opposition in his bid for a U.S. Senate seat in Virginia. But the independent candidate has garnered a massive following on social networks like Facebook, and hopes to parlay that into petition signatures.

According to a campaign press release, “While Hank is aware he is ineligible to be on the ballot in November, he has decided to collect the 10,000 signatures required and still file with the Virginia State Board of Elections.”

The release also notes that Hank has raised over $2,600 for animal rescue groups – one of his central campaign platforms. However, critics have been quick to dismiss the donations as pandering to the candidate’s base.
