Occupy Atlanta's candidate is goes missing

Occupy Atlanta planned to have a fundraiser today. For a donation, you could talk to a dog described as their "candidate":

We are speaking, of course, of Copper the Dog.  If you come to the park on November 19, cash in hand,* you will be allowed to speak to our candidate.  Other attendees will include all of the big shot political campaign contributors we can scare up, enthusiastic Occupy Atlanta participants, and some nonplussed bystanders.

According to Occupy Atlanta's website, the fundraiser won't happen today, and is now postponed until November 26 because their "candidate is walking the Appalachian Trail." 

Really? There was once a South Carolina governor who said the same thing.
