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

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.....
