| Info | Although Thompson has registered with the FEC as a candidate for the 5th District, he is a resident of Milan, Minn., which is not in the 5th District. He also has previously registered as a candidate for president of the United States. According to the candidate's Web site, "Thompson, who calls his race a Challenge for Congress, is a long-time peace activist who is pledging to do all in his power to stop the insanity of our war in Iraq and work to make sure it never happens again. Anywhere. Anytime.' He is challenging the 5th District to 'ask not what your Congressman can do for you, but what your Congressman can do for your country.' The candidate once spent 90 days in the Federal prison system for a misdemeanor trespass conviction at the Nevada Test Site, home to continued testing of US nuclear weapons and the location of most of Thompson?s nearly 100 arrests. He is finishing his term as national board co-chair of Nevada Desert Experience, a group dedicated to faith-based resistance to US nuclear weapons testing. "
