Official statement from the Xena Campaign

Columbia, Mo. June 10, 2009 - This morning we learned that individuals within the campaign of Candidate Rocco Charles Velociraptor have accused Candidate Xena of not supporting rescue animals. We believe these accusations are in relation to an advertisement released by the Swiftboat Kittens for Truth bearing the line "Would you elect an official who has spent time in the pen?" Further, Mr. Velociraptor's campaign has implied more than once that Candidate Xena is somehow responsible for the unflattering exposure he has recently received.

These allegations are simply untrue.

First, Xena wholeheartedly supports rescue animals.

Xena fosters pets herself, bringing both dogs and cats into her home. She does this not just because it helps the community, not just because it is the right thing to do, but because she herself is one. In fact, unlike any of her opponents, at the tender age of one, she had already spent two terms in the shelter. Compared to her opponents, she is quite literally twice the rescue dog.

Secondly, Xena in no way supports these vicious anti-Rocco ads.

Xena has vehemently and publicly decried that advertisement. She has said it is "a repugnant example of the underhanded and despicable campaign techniques that I will put an end to as Homecoming Queen." She has also described them as "some of the worst examples of PhotoShop I've ever seen. Either that, or Rocco can fly."
