Last week, he agreed to renounce his loyalties to the government of Minnesota and serve the Cascadian Homeland with all his might and will. While Jesse is one of the strongest humans in Minnesota, he will be one of the weakest, most susceptible individuals in Cascadia. In his prime Ventura boasted of his 22 inch pythons and his ability to endure all sorts of pain and suffering.

But in reality he would put into a severe coma within several minutes of playing in a Cascadian Football League game or if he attempted to compete in the Cascadian Wresling Federation. He will be serving as governor of our wrestling and olympic colony in Northern Cascadia near the border of Alaska and Canada. This remote place of intense training and preparation for the day when the Cascadian nation will be allowed to fully participate in both the summer and winter olympics is a small enclave of perhaps 11,000 athletes who train year round for the chance to prove the skeptics wrong, that Sasquatches can participate in interhominoid athletics without slaughtering or mortally wounding their opponents.

Governor Ventura had this to say about his appointment as Governor of the Colony - "I am proud of my pledge to support the Cascadian government in any way possible. The bridge between humans and Sasquatches must be traveled and used. It provides a forum to voice our shared concerns and passions. I would also like to thank the Militia for alerting me, and saving me thousands of greenbacks, that I was being tricked into paying for a hair-stylist and beauty supplies totaling in excess of 60,000 dollars a year."

He will begin serving as interim-Governor on the ninth of February and will continue until a suitable replacement can be found or for a maximum of one year. Governor Ventura is also a General in the Sasquatch Militia and because of his Navy Seals training is a valuable tactical asset. Look for him to serve as a Division commander against the forces of Saddam Hussein in any future anti-tyranny Militia operations in that country.
