People's Pledge for Campaign Finance, Blather style

Not one to be left behind, my old friend Senator Billy Jo Blather, has sent me a 'Varmints Pledge'. I suspect because it is his idea of competing with the Markey/Brown/Warren 'People's Pledge'. I think maybe now I understand why the exact text of the 'People's Pledge' was so inappropriately hard to find, and copy into text format:

Billy Joe Blather's Varmints's Pledge

On account o' outside third party o'ganizashuns is airin' independent expenditure advahtisements an' issue advahtisements attackin' me Senato' Billy Joe Blather; an'

On account o' Ah's sick of bein' betrayed when mah wife an' dotter buy ads in favo' of mah political opponent; an'

On account o' Ah trust thet tretcherous as they are, mah wife an' dotter will remember t'do a lousy job of suppo'tin' mah dastardly liberal political opponents:
