A newly elected member of the St. Louis County Council chose to be sworn in with a Dr. Seuss book rather than a Bible.
Earlier this month, Democrat Kelli Dunaway handily beat Republican Alderman Amy Poelker for the 2nd District seat, garnering 60 percent of the vote. Since election regulations don't require politicians to swear their oath of office on a Bible, Dunaway opted to lay her hand on Dr. Seuss' 1990 bestseller Oh, the Places You'll Go!
Her son and daughter held the book for during her swearing-in ceremony on August 13.
A former field organizer at Obama for America, Dunaway said in a Facebook post that the book "offers a message of inspiration to anyone embarking on a new phase of life, whether it's a high-school graduation, the jump from kindergarten to first grade, or even the next stage of a political career."
"It's the same reason you all believe in me and our campaign," she added, "because I see a brighter future for all of us and am steering myself in the direction of building it!"

THIS is why irregardless of political ideology or mental capacity the violence and race towards semi-anarchy continues. America is falling rapidly. If the President of the United States or even my local municipal politician took the oath on a children’s book,I would cease to give a sh*t about anything. This is where we are headed. We are being squeezed. It’s sickening.
Logic dictates something lingering, and, as a Democrat, she's already guilty of treason...
I would be sworn in on the book 1984,
or Atlas Shrugged.
Atttention whore.
Well, their platform reads like a Dr. Seuss book, so why not?
The 19th Amendment was a huge mistake. It should be repealed.
