Don’t like Mazie, Ed or Linda for the U.S. Senate? Consider Democrat Antonio Gimbernat, whose got some interesting ideas.

As he explained in his Civil Beat survey, if elected he’d like to cast his Senate votes electronically: “If all the elected representatives did this … the House of Representatives & U.S. Senate buildings could be turned into museums, where tourist could pay a small fee for a tour. Net revenues could go towards paying off the national debt.”

Gimbernat also shares details from his background, including an apparently traumatic experience in the U.S. Navy that led to depression and his “untimely discharge.”

He continues:

Upon returning Home, I was subjected to civilian corruption, where community members were engaging in illegal marijuana sales & use, insider trading, malicious slander & defamation of character.

The military abuse & civilian corruption overwhelmed me in 1988 & induced me to have a nervous breakdown, which turned into a police standoff where I was beaten & then admitted to a lock down psychiatric hospital for a 72 hour evaluation.
