A Houston area man who died recently made an unusual request in his obituary.  He asked people to support the candidate who runs against President Barack Obama in the next election.

James Harrison of The Woodlands died of cancer last month at the age of 68. The obituary approved by his family says, in lieu of flowers, people are urged to donate money to ANYONE who runs against Obama.

Harrison's stepson, John Rundlof, says Harrison was a Republican literally to his dying day.  Rundlof says he didn't agree with anything Obama did, and he wrote the appeal for donations to Obama opponents himself in his last days.

Harrison's obituary also says people who don't want to donate to a candidate are urged to make a donation to the American Cancer Society instead.
