Zombies Form Political Action Committee! Not as Brain Dead as Previously Believed

John Russo and Russ Streiner, screenwriter and producer of NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD, establish a campy website to back Barack Obama for President.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) October 6, 2008 -- The flesheating zombies first documented in the classic horror movie NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD have evolved into political junkies determined to have an impact on the 2008 elections. To channel their energy in a proper and hopefully harmless direction, producer Russ Streiner and screenwriter John Russo have helped them form their own dot-com advocacy group under the banner: Send a Zombie to Congress.

"These modern zombies aren't as brain damaged as you might imagine," Streiner enthused. "Indeed they have some very good ideas. They want to eliminate the fat cats in Washington and they want to help elect Barack Obama. You don't have to be a zombie to believe as they do."

Russo adds, "You also don't have to be a zombie to join our PAC. Check out our website. There are lots of things zombies can't do on their own. Their rotting hearts are in the right place, but they desperately need the help of average Americans."

Asked exactly how their horde of zombies would seek to "eliminate the fat cats," Russo and Streiner were evasive. Russo parried the question, stating only that the flesheaters were justifiably upset with the wrong-headed policies of the past eight years and wanted to do something about it "in their own way."

"This time Washington REALLY needs a change," Streiner said, "and even the brain-dead zombies know it."

Russo and Streiner say that they expect millions of disgruntled Americans to join the zombies' PAC.
