On the Trail With Lefty

On the Trail With Lefty

Humble Beginnings to New Dumb Ideas

Like many Americans, Lefty was born to a poor, but very close family of donkeys in southwest New Mexico. His mother, Jenny Burr O., grew up in a tiny town on the Mexican border and worked most of her years as a herding animal on a farm before immigrating to America. Lefty's father, Jack, came from a long line of pack mules in the Old West gold mines during the mining rush of the nineteenth century. Jack was intimately familiar with manual labor as he toiled as a cog in the wheel, spinning wheels at a grist mill in western California!

Wanting the very best for their foal, Jenny and Jack worked extra hours as riding mules and even as guard animals on the local ranches in order to fund Lefty's education. This experience led Lefty to hold education in the highest regard, and he often held after-school riding and behavioral management classes, to harness and refine the stubborn behavior of his young peers.

Pull America Forward Announcement

Washington, DC (National Zoo, February 1, 2007) - Fellow Americans, I stand before you on all four legs to announce my intention to run for President of the United States of America. This was not a decision I have taken lightly. After traveling across the country, speaking and braying to Americans of all species, I knew it was the right time and the right decision.

Folks, your voices and your votes have issued a resounding call for a new course and I have heard your plea. We need a change. Someone to unite mammals of all kinds. Gray, white, brown, hooved and not hooved, tails or no tails, we need a uniter, not a divider. The country needs a new direction in which every American can take pride and in which the global community can feel confident, safe and secure. My friends, America needs someone to Pull America Forward. Someone with the experience, the education, the passion and the capacity to understand your needs. I believe I am the mammal to do it.
