So I posted in GD:P that I had gotten signatures on petitions for Hillary & Martin at the polls

in Virginia on Tues.

I collected for all three of our candidates. I got the petitions notarized today and just wanted an address for each Team Hillary and Team O'Malley.

Someone posts on the Hillary thread "is this a joke?" And goes on to suppose I was trying to make a point about how hard it is to get Bernie on the ballot, and how i am just going to piss off Hillary supporters.

Really? Talk about no good deed going unpunished.....

the right thing. Remember this the next time it comes out that Bernie supporters are not for the party. Many of us are not but you are.

Good for you!
