		Bill is doing double duty with Snuffles� campaign. As an experienced writer, Bill is working as Press Secretary. His experience with the Coast Guard also qualifies Bill to help with campaign security. Other jobs Bill has held include working for the Hoover Company, lab tech at a microfilm service bureau, and his current job at a college. If Snuffles is elected, Bill�s experience will qualify him to serve as Director of the FBI. Bill�s many published writings include a column in the Faquier Times Democrat (a weekly paper in VA), some op-ed pieces, and a monthly humor column in Popular Communications. Originally a Libertarian, Bill has been converted to the Rodentican Party by his two rat roommates, Rattie and Gladys. �For a sincere rat, I could convert to socialism!� says Bill. And we all know that Snuffles is the sincerest of rats. Bill�s many accomplishments include musical talents with guitar and harmonica. He is also honored to be the first Honorary R.A.T. (Rats All Together) human member. Bill is very proud to serve R.A.T. president Jocelyn with distinction, and will continue his duties with R.A.T. while serving on Snuffles� campaign.

		Buford is proud of his Black Lab and Shar Pei heritage. The product of a broken home, Buford's original humans divorced and he found himself wandering aimlessly until a wonderful vet helped him find his current human companion, Pat. "An incredible human, she really helped me get my act together after my original family broke up," says Buford. "I owe everything I am to Pat!" Snuffles chose Buford to work on his campaign because of his many years of personal and home security experience. Currently Buford will serve as Campaign Guard Dog. If Snuffles is elected Buford has agreed to accept the position of Director of Homeland Security. Buford agrees with Snuffles completely - the best home security system is a dog. Buford promises that he will rally the dog citizens of America to the task, and that our great homeland will be more secure than ever before!

		Diane is one of Snuffles' three human family members. She is working as campaign manager, web site designer, and political advisor (not that the candidate ever listens!) Also chief cook and bottle washer, maid, laundress, photographer, speech writer, and does anything else that needs doing. Like shopping for yogies, Nylabones, and broccoli. If there were any campaign finances, Diane would use her bookkeeping experience to handle them. Currently Diane is with the Race Track Industry Program at University of Arizona. Diane enjoys horse racing, Star Trek, reading, crochet, computers, and collectible card games. She is the mother of two humanlets who are all grown up adults now, Jessica and Chris. Also, she sometimes lapses into "Snuffles speak" involuntarily and worries that she may have forgotten how to properly conjugate the verb to be.

		Dustin will be working with campaign communications, polls, and other such duties. After Snuffles is elected he will take up the position of Postmaster General. "I'm thrilled to be working in the family business finally!" says Dustin, who's ancestors were all Pony Express horses.

	Snuffles' Aunt Jenn was born 31 years ago in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and has lived there her whole life. She was first acquired by rats about 3 1/2 years ago and currently lives with seven males. A life-long animal lover, Jenn also lives with a dog, three cats, and a bird. "However," she says, "the rats hold a special place in my heart." Jenn fondly recalls how she because Snuffles' aunt: "I first became aware of Snuffles on the Ratlist around late Summer 2002 when Snuffles was making his cross-country journey to his new home in Arizona. I fell in love with his sweet, innocent nature and his enthusiasm and have considered him family ever since." Aunt Jenn has a background in clerical/administrative work, so her skills will be best utilized in that area. A special project she is looking forward to working on is helping Snuffles obtain a Soc. Sec. number as you need one of them in order to be President. Snuffles is so confident that Aunt Jenn will be successful in this area that he has already decided to put her in charge of the Social Security Administration when he is eleceted President.

			In March 2003 Walter's human (Annie) and her friend Dr. Sari (a veterinarian) saw a hawk on the ground near home. They went over to see if it was injured and it flew away, but there Walter was, about to be lunch! Fortunately, even though it was Sunday, Dr. Sari took Walter into the clinic to take care of him. Dr. Sari and Annie saved Walter's life! A week later Walter was pronounced cured and Annie came to "release" him back to the wild. Walter had other plans though - he was not going back to be eaten! So he just sat on the grass and didn't fly away, knowing Annie would never leave him there. About an hour later she drove Walter home and "released" him on her patio. Walter figured this was the best of both worlds. Being a pet, but not in a cage inside a house. "Annie feeds me every day and I have water and shelter under the eaves of the roof, and she sings me pretty songs in the morning while she is feeding the squirrels!" says Walter. "I have made lots of friends, there are turtle doves and ring neck doves that come for breakfast almost every morning! I am sure that they will help get the vote out!" After Snuffles is elected Walter will be commander of the new, all-bird Air Force. After all, someone has to take over after Snuffles has rid the country of the bad airplanes.
