From the Stupid File: Idaho Gov Candidate Changes Name to "Pro-Life"

What's In A Name?

<snip>

To an Emmett strawberry farmer, who's running for governor this November, his name means everything.

"It seems like only a nut would do something like that, but I'm not a nutty kind of person at all," Pro-Life told CBS 2 News.

Meet Pro-Life, yes that's his name, formerly known as Marvin Richardson.

"My wife, she's not into calling me Pro-Life yet," he said.

In 2004 Richardson legally changed his middle name to Pro-Life and he filed for the governor's race as Marvin Pro-Life Richardson. But that's when he got a letter from the Secretary of State's Office saying no.

"They said I couldn't put Pro-Life on the ballot because that was bringing an issue to the ballot," said Pro-Life.

He didn't stop there. On Monday afternoon, with a judges signature, he legally dropped both his first and last name. Now he just goes by Pro-Life.

"My name being Pro-Life on the ballot will save a number of babies by the time I die," he explained for wanting to change his name.

"My name being Pro-Life on the ballot will save a number of babies by the time I die," he explained for wanting to change his name.

How does he figure that, exactly? If changing your name is all it takes, I'm changing mine to Bush Goes To Prison.
