Yeah, Virginia's laws suck. Last presidential go-round, even for the (R) side getting on the ballot was tough -- only Romney and Paul managed to score slots in the R primary.
Well, that's the way it is, and the only way through is over -- over the top; over the 5,000 minimum signature requirement. And here in Virginia, we're pulling out ALL the stops! We are GOING to do this -- and we're going to do it IN TEN DAYS.
We're launching a new petition drive -- 10 Days to 10k -- and you can help! If you're a Virginia voter, you can help collect petitions in the comfort of your own home town. No big events. No crowds. Just you, a clipboard, and some free time to spare. Everything you need, including simple, step-by-step directions can be gotten at virginiansforbernie.com/index.php/10daysto10k/.
If you're a Bernie supporter ANYWHERE, please help us spread the word! Via facebook, reddit, twitter -- however you social media, please share this! The link is virginiansforbernie.com/index.php/10daysto10k/.
And we have a handy, shareable (and yeah, gaudy) graphic for you to use, too:
Please help spread the word!!!
Sun Sep 20, 2015 at 12:51 AM PT: Guys, thank you for all your help! I Quick update before I pass out -- right now the 10 Days to 10k petition drive has over a hundred sign-ups. YES!!!
And I wanted to ask, please, keep it up! I'd really like to hit at least 200 participants committed to collecting even just ten signatures apiece. So please, if you haven't yet, stop by http://virginiansforbernie.com/... and hit that share/tweet/reddit etc button down at the bottom of the page.
Thank you again -- we are GOING to get Bernie on the ballot in VA! And dagnabbit, we're gonna have it DONE by mid-October. (I'm feeling stubborn tonight! :p )
